Downey Jr in daytime TV shock
This is London ^ | April 26, 2005 | Staff

Actor Robert Downey Jr left presenter Lorraine Kelly lost for words today by telling her: "Your t*ts look great!

The former Hollywood bad boy had daytime viewers choking on their cornflakes when he made the remark on ITV1 show This Morning.

Kelly, wearing an orange cardigan and black camisole which revealed a hint of cleavage, was hosting the show in place of Fern Britton.

She welcomed Downey Jr to the show by telling him: "You look fantastic, you look really well."

The 40-year-old actor replied: "Thanks. I was going to say that your t*ts look great too!"

A clearly shocked Kelly, 45, said "Thank you, that's nice," as Downey Jr added: "Particularly today."

Kelly managed to say: "Oh good, well I'm glad I made you happy."

Gazing down at her cleavage and adjusting her top, she said: "I didn't realise they were so out."

Kelly's co-host Jeremy Kyle, on his first day as temporary replacement for Phillip Schofield, stepped in to change the subject by saying: "Let's move swiftly on."

An embarrassed Kelly agreed: "I think we should."

A This Morning insider said: "Lorraine wasn't showing acres of cleavage so his comment was a little unexpected. She was a bit embarrassed but carried on with the interview like a pro."

Downey Jr, who earned an Oscar nomination for his role in Chaplin and won a Golden Globe for his guest spot in TV series Ally McBeal, is currently clean after a well-publicised battle against drug addiction which resulted in a spell in prison.

He landed a record deal after singing on Ally McBeal and is now launching his debut album, The Futurist.

Downey Jr also has two films due for release - Disney remake The Shaggy Dog and action thriller Kiss Kiss Bang Bang with Val Kilmer.

It doesn't seem to take much to shock the Brits these days.

Robert may be many things, but blind obviously isn't one of them.

Yeah. Like a pro. Uh-huh.

Well, it would be kind of a shock for Morton Downey, Jr. to do just about anything these days.

You have to realise that she aparantly flashed the Tele audiences before IIRC...so the flippant rmark may be derived from that...

Well, she and "they" do look a bit of all not bad.

Me though, I'm always just a bit more discreet, unless I've had 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 glasses or a couple of bottles of wine or beer or tea many martoonies.

But I'm always a perfect gentleman. Until I start pulling their clothes off.

Ha. He’s a dope (and a doper), but he’s probably right – I suspect they *did* look great…

We’ve got a girlie that does the weather at night on a station out of Los Angeles. Little blondie with very tight (and often ugly) clothing… but boy do her t*ts look great! I tune in to watch the weather. Ha.

[“Blah, blah,” jiggle, jiggle, “blah, blah,” wiggle, wiggle, “blah, blah,” jiggle, wiggle… mmm…]

I can't tell you the number of times my wife has asked "is it supposed to be hot tomorrow?" And I have to go look it up on weather underground or something - even though I just got done watching the "weather." Ha.

We're arguing about facts that are not in evidence.

Pix please.

"Let's move swiftly on." . . . "I think we should."

Gotta love the way those Brits turn a phrase.

Robert Downey, Jr., still true to form.

What a jerk!!

He should be about due for either another round of rehab or jail. It's about the same for him.

The 40-year-old actor....

What's the over and under on his age at death?

I'm saying 43.

Robert Downey Jr., just one more result in an never ending line of Hollywood nepotism.

I thought this word was okay for British TV, since the hosts of their version of What Not To Wear use it often.
