Meanwhile Robert Downey Jr has gone low to high , higher , highest in past 10 years? From 1996 to 2001 had he drug and legal troubles.
Downey was the perfect choice to play Tony Stark. He had really been there. He knew what the role required because he had already lived it.
A good point. One getting on drugs and one getting off drugs.
That’s why they call it dope.
I believe his wake-up call came from a tough-love judge, who sentenced him to jail time because he kept showing up in his courtroom. After that stint in jail, he straightened up; and, he has been earning money in his craft ever since. The judge did him a huge favor.
Robert Downey Jr is a good person deep inside and he has seen the sickness in Hollywood and at sacrifice to himself is trying to expose it. He did have a genetic tendency toward substance abuse but I think he overcame it.
Guy's got a good gig. Shows up in the biggest movies of the year for bit cameos, plays a version of himself making snarky comments, walks away with millions.
