Robert Downey Jr Archives

Here is the very first movie still of Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark in Iron Man 2.

The flick began shooting three weeks ago and opens May 7, 2010. “How many superheroes are open about their true identities?” director Jon Favreau asks of USA Today. “We wanted to play with that idea. But it obviously has consequences — in his relationships, on the team. There are a lot of areas we can explore.”

Gwyneth Paltrow is back as Pepper Potts and added to the blockbuster’s sequel are Mickey Rourke as Whiplash, Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow and Sam Rockwell as Justin Hammer.

Gwyneth Paltrow and Robert Downey Jr. are out and about the film set for Iron Man 2 in Los Angeles on Monday (March 6).

RDJ, 44, smoked a cigar outside his trailer and even walked around with a cute Iron Man lunch box! Check it out!

Gwynie, 36, looked tired after a long day of playing her Pepper Potts character.

She has recently received some press for her recent blog saying that she is “seized with fear” over the threat from “environmental toxins”, which are linked to cancer, autism, and other diseases. She quotes a pediatrician in the U.S. who claims that people are at risk due to chemicals found in everyday products such as toys, shampoo, paint and cleaning products.

Robert Downey Jr. is featured in the latest issue of Men’s Vogue. Here are some snippets from the interview:

Do you still smoke? Yeah, I bring a couple, so before I have a personality meltdown, I’ll have one so I don’t unleash myself on an unsuspecting public.

Are you a believer in therapy?“No. (grins) I am a steadfast supporter of separating out all the pieces, so that it is not overwhelming. Things have changed a lot—new relationship, I got a kid, got an ex. And at this point, all I’m doing is just machete-ing the next three feet of jungle.”

Is that hand sanitizer? (points to little navy bottle he’s been grappling with) Yes. I’m a hygienically sound individual. Mrs. Downey would say I’m catlike clean.”
