Robert Downey, Jr.

Robert Downey Jr., born April 4, 1965, in New York City, is one of Hollywood's most iconic and highest-grossing actors. Born into a performing family, he began acting at age 5. After gaining recognition with his Oscar-nominated performance in "Chaplin" (1992), his career faltered due to substance abuse issues in the late 1990s and early 2000s. His remarkable comeback came in 2008 when he portrayed Tony Stark/Iron Man in Marvel's "Iron Man," a role that transformed him into a global superstar and became the cornerstone of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He subsequently starred in numerous blockbuster films including "The Avengers" series, earning over $14 billion at the global box office. His journey from personal struggles to professional triumph is considered one of Hollywood's most inspiring comeback stories. more

“Only comedies can get you that engaged in a movie, dramas people just sort of sit there and eat their popcorn and nothing really happens, they might cry a little bit, but that's it. Horror movies are talking at the screen, guys are elbowing each other, laughing at each other because they got scared. That's the beauty of a horror movie.”

“You have to be careful with fans, they'll turn on you. They turn quick. Twitter can go dark fast. If you talk about something serious on Twitter, you better be ready. If you try to pull out real facts or talk about political opinions or something religious, forget it. Like if people asked me who I was voting for, you couldn't touch that one.”

“As an actor, you don't want to know the beginning and end to your character's arc. It makes it more fun. You're not playing the end. You're playing it realistically. You don't know where this character is going to go and what's going to happen to him, which just makes it more interesting for the viewers to watch. They're going on the journey with you, as the actor and the character.”

“There have been a lot of roles and scripts that have come my way but nothing that really inspired me or intrigued me like when "Burlesque" showed up at my door. Just the whole concept of burlesque, I've always been fascinated with it. I've always collected so many books about burlesque. I've been intrigued by the time that it's set in, in the 20's, 30's, 40's and so I knew it was a no brainer for me to be a part of once I met with the team.”
