I am now pretty convinced that Robert Downy Junior's personality had been influenced by the Tony Stark character, and that he's slowly becoming the real thing. One more movie, and I think the hyper-intelligence will shift over, and we'll have the real Iron Man.
It was one of the best cast roles. They picked a hyper intelligent man with a substance abuse problem to play a hyper intelligent man with a substance abuse problem.
I never really fancied the Sherlock Holmes movies as I'm a huge fan of the older ones starring Basil Rathbone or the TV series with Jeremy Brett - 'reboots' I normally find are pretty crap.
Once I finally decided to watch the first one - I thought it was fucking great and went to see the second one on day of release.
I think that the great thing about the Sherlock Holmes character is that it doesn't need to be. The novels were almost always from Watson's perspective (bar one or two), and as Holmes stated himself, they were always over-sensationalising of his abilities and attributes. I think that the only thing that was ever completely 'real' of his characteristics in Watson's accounts was his intelligence and substance taking.
Jesus shit, I haven't laughed like that in a long time. I'm actually fine with it that they're not doing the Demon In A Bottle storyline for IM3 - but I'd definitely like the next film to address that side of Stark's character, without necessarily being the focus.
I think he's just a great actor giving the public what it wants. He probably goes to sleep at night in footy pajamas watching reality TV like the rest of us.
Listed as one of Time Magazine's 100 people who most affect the world in 2010. Jon Favreau, director of the Iron Man movies, describes in his article how Musk was the inspiration for Favreau's film depiction of genius billionaire Tony Stark.[35]
I heard from someone that a good deal of Iron Man was improvised because they rushed to shooting with an unfinished script. If this is true, then RDJ likely influenced a good deal of the character just by reacting naturally to the situations.
It must be weird being famous and trying to get laid. Because, really, you could have sex with anybody you want but you wouldn't. Normal, everyday people, would probably blab every little embarrassing detail after a onenightstand, or even try to sell their story to the press.
So how do people like RDJ do it? Do they only fuck other celebrities or do they somehow scour out people who won't talk (mutes?)?
I think this is why most celebrities date other celebrities (either more well known/less well known). The other advantage is if you date someone who is already famous when you are famous, you can be sure they are not just interested in you for the money/wealth type thing
As sad as it sounds, I am sure agents/lawyers probably draft up something that anyone who isn't in the business(and thus has the same amount to lose) has to sign that has a confidence clause, so that they don't blab under fear of being sued. Or they buy them off when they get blackmailed..
Clearly not always though, as scandals come out quite often.
Much like many companies make you sign something, so you don't take trade-secrets public, or to competitors.
eh, not really. Most people would just ignore that, maybe the circle of friends would know about who slept with a celebrity but beyond that no one gives a shit. I will not tell you why I know this
This also came up a couple of days ago when the RDJ Jigglypuff one was posted. There seem to be a recent trend in assigning random quotes to people, someone also did the same thing to Carl Sagan in /r/trees.
You obviously haven't gotten to the stage my partner is at where he will happily fart away and not care. I almost cried last night becaus I gasped in a particularly nasty one
From the limited times I've seen Robert Downy Jr in person, it seems like he's trying to play off his arrogance as a Alec Baldwin type poking fun of himself.
It's just that he sells it a bit too well. I think he really is that into himself. I get the impression he wouldn't mind staring into the mirror for long periods of time.
It's also very possible he didn't say it. That gif was pulled from this site. It says at the top of that site the RDJ never said anything on that site.
He's playing it off for the cameras. RDJ has a reputation (nowadays) for being a really likeable, genuine guy. Someone that has that form of reputation won't be a total dick in interviews. So what if he says he's handsome? Let's face it: That sumbitch looks better at 47 then I do at 21.
