Biografía

During the promotion of Avengers: Era de Ultrón (2015), famously walked out of an interview with Krishnan Guru-Murthy when pressed about his "dark" past because he felt it was inappropriate that children would be watching. He told Howard Stern he would leave again if that ever happened in the future.

According to an interview he gave to Newsweek in February 2009, when Downey went to Japan for their opening of Iron Man. El Hombre de Hierro (2008), he was detained on entry because Japanese authorities ran his passport and found it linked to some incredible criminal activity (namely Downey's multiple arrests and incarcerations on drug-related charges in the 1990s and 2000s). For failing to disclose these convictions, Downey was interrogated for six hours and was almost barred from entry into Japan. It was finally decided that he could enter Japan for the Iron Man premiere but he is never to be allowed into Japan again.

Sting ("Every Breath You Take") and Billy Idol performed at his wedding to Susan Downey.

Was a huge fan of the Iron Man comics as a child.

At the age of 10, while living in London, Robert attended the Perry House School in Chelsea and studied classical ballet.

I've always felt like such an outsider in this industry. Because I'm so insane, I guess.

The higher the stakes, the happier I am, the better I will be.

I'm not used to feeling like I belong where I am.

A lot of my peer group think I'm an eccentric bisexual, like I may even have an ammonia-filled tentacle or something somewhere on my body. That's okay.

I've become a picky little bitch. I've never bothered to plan projects before. I just used to throw the script across the room and say, "Why do they keep sending me this horseshit?" And then I'd start rehearsals two weeks later.
