Gwyneth Paltrow’s silly remarks on Robert Downey’s salary started thus nonsense. The Iron Man films each made over a billion dollars worldwide, and if you’ve ever seen any you know that people go to see him, not her. She is so forgettable they didn’t even bother to put her in the last Avengers movie.
Agreed, Downey literally owns that role and it’s a license to print money.
And in American Hustle she was a supporting character up against Christian Bale, who is very talented.
