RICKY GERVAIS has signed former Batman actor Val Kilmer to appear in Life’s Too Short.
The Hollywood star will join fellow A-listers Les Dennis, Keith Chegwin and ex-soap actor Shaun “Barry from EastEnders” Williamson in the one-off special when it returns.
The hour-long episode – created by Ricky and pal Stephen Merchant – is in lieu of a second series of the sitcom starring dwarf Warwick Davis.
It will reunite Kilmer and Davis, who worked together 25 years ago on the fantasy movie Willow.
In the new show, to be screened on BBC2 in the spring, Davis takes Cheggers, Les and Shaun under his wing in the hope of rebooting their careers.
Stephen, who is also directing the programme alongside Ricky, said: “I think fans of Willow are going be really surprised to see Warwick Davis and Val Kilmer reunited on screen.
“Almost as surprised as Val when he finds out what we’re paying!”
The show includes on-screen roles for Ricky and Stephen.
