Thru it all, I'm so proud to say I'm glad he got it together and became the star he is. I absolutely love how talented he is. And he's still with us. 🙏❤️🙏
A few clarifications....Downey Sr was a cocaine addict (he admits to this in the SR doc), and he also gave the drug to his son. RDJ has said that it was the only way his dad knew of to express his love, to bond with his son. There is one interview in which RDJ explicitly mentions his dad sharing the drug with him. Also, he didn't just wander into a house and fall asleep. If you look up the coverage of the incident when it happened, the story was that he had been partying and was not able to drive himself home. An acquaintance drove him to his neighborhood, but dropped him off at the wrong house. He found a way in, went in, and found a bed. He didn't "fall asleep", paramedics had to be called to revive him. If he had found his way to his own home that night, in the condition he was in, no one probably would've found him in time to revive him. And those first arrests in 1996 were just a few weeks after his wife took their son and left him, so that's why he went off the deep end.
I am so proud of him! I always loved him and my heart broke when he kept getting into trouble. As far as the media not being allowed to ask him about that stuff makes sense ESPECIALLY because he was promoting a Marvel movie, and kids are watching it (yes I know adults watch too, I am one of them) like why ask about it another time?!
Amen!!! His father is a Director! So he has a Huge foot in the door of The Entertainment industry!!! I was an Actor for 20yrs!! Hard as hell to get a break!! I got 2 !! Then realized how Evil Hollywood is and QUIT ACTING!!!
Less than zero is an excellent film and I believe, his best. I was crushing so hard on him in the 80's and he's even MORE gorgeous today. My daughter crushes on him now!😂
Him doing other drugs had nothing to do with marijuanna it was the search for a better high, he was a classic addict unfortunately. Not chasing the drugs themselves but chasing the freedom he felt while he took the drugs. First weed, then he got older and tried some cocaine, once he did that he enjoyed the high of cocaine better then life itself, its unfortunately a story told time and time again.
What have been your favorite performances by Robert Downey Jr.?

Im glad he hasnt passed and he seem to have got it together!He is a really good actor!!
He’s alive, healthy, married, & obscenely rich. He struggled, but the “tragedy” seems pretty f*****g averted.

Yes it was so rude to ask about his past at this point especially since he was promoting a project
Drugs can seriously damage you in this town ... laughable after what Hollyweird has done.
WOW
And now he won an Oscar as well
You cannot make us feel bad for celebs. They have no idea what problems are...

its fun to think of how at 23 if I had known what it does to you from the age of 8 I would probably have been way more successful.
He is Iron Man

Only in Hollywood!!! His father is a Director! Any other normal person would be homeless or dead!! Not return to make huge movies!!!
