Robert Downey Jr. wants to let you in on a little secret. "Every movie's leading man goes to bed with his female co-star." Although I know it isn't true for every movie, apparently it is true for Robert Downey Jr. or else he would not have said it so lets take a look a a selection of his female co-stars when he was the male lead.
Well in Air America he co-starred with Mel Gibson and the female lead was Nancy Travis. So who did Mel and who did Nancy? What does Robert do when it is a primarily male cast?
In Chaplin, he starred with Geraldine Chaplin so I guess she got a little bit of hat Robert Downey Jr. magic. The fact that she is 20 years older than Robert wouldn't have stopped her because as Robert puts it, "such intimate activity between co-stars is inevitable - because they spend so much together in such a close environment."
In Home For The Holidays, he could have had a reunion with Geraldine Chaplin and also thrown a little Anne Bancroft into the mix since she was the leading lady. I know some of you would say Holly Hunter, but I think Anne Bancroft was higher billed. Hell, knowing Robert, he probably went ahead and just did the whole cast. Had Steve Guttenberg calling him Papi by the end of production.
From this quote, I don't think multiple partners on one movie is too far off. "I remember certain colleagues having a lot of fun on the set with me." Hopefully he is talking about his time on Two Girls And A Guy and not US Marshals. I'm sure his wife loves the thought of knowing that Robert is off having sex with his leading ladies every night while she stays at home and wonders if he will stay sober during filming.

damn RDjr that was some stupid shit to say..when you're married!
ReplyDeletethat's like a normal man saying there isn't one secratary i haven't banged yet at work in front of his wife.
haha Jax i read that to say he was banging the secretary IN FRONT of the wife LOL.....
ReplyDeleteYeah, I always wonder how they could possibly resist the temptation, especially when the subject matter of the film might have sexual content. It's a messed up business, but it has some undeniable perks.
ReplyDeleteNever liked Robert Downey, too weird.
ReplyDeleteIF he said that in front of his wife, he shows no respect for her.
just his special way of telling us he f**ked paltrow.
ReplyDeleteEeeew can't stand paltrow. What movie did they come out?
ReplyDeletesylvia - iron man/not released yet.
ReplyDeleteI dunno, I think he is kinda sexy. In a picking gum off the sidewalk and chewing it, kind of way.
ReplyDeleteLOVE Robert Downey Jr. He should shut up, however.
ReplyDeleteI call bullshit. There is no basis in reality for his comments. If this were true, then certainly we would have read about some of these dalliances before now. Surely, some marriages would have split up and co-stars would have paired up, even if temporarily.
ReplyDeletelol..ya cuz there are NO secrets in Hollyweird.
ReplyDeleteOh come on. What about all the gay actors? (And didn't RDJr. admit to being bisexual?)
ReplyDeleteMichey Rourke and Kim Basinger HATED each other. And Richard Gere and Debra Winger did, too. And those were some pretty intimate sex scenes.
Thanks Cap!
ReplyDeleteI was wondering if Downey was gay, always got vibes he was full gay hahaha.
He needs to get rid of that hideous hair color. Does anyone remember a hair product called Sun-In? LOL
ReplyDeleteOh my God - Sun In!!!! You just sprayed it on your hair and went outside to get that fakey blonde thing going on. What a blast from the past.
ReplyDeletethat shit was terrible..it was never blonde..more processed tangerine. Lilo blonde.
ReplyDeleteYeah, it was tangerine color. I think Lohan must spray that on her skin.
ReplyDeleteand Robert Downey Jr obviously found a vintage bottle of it on Ebay.
ReplyDeleteDidn't Ent say before that he had to have that hair for a part?
ReplyDeleteI have to give him props - I never thought he could get as clean as he is. I figured him for the Tom Sizemore route.
when they were younger, i always thought he was the talented one, given the choice between he and johnny.
ReplyDeleteboy, have i been happily proved wrong!
i still like him, though. i think he's always been talented, but that his demons were just too much for him to handle.
Good lord, I think every single commenter above needs to STFU.
ReplyDeleteIron Man + Tropic Thunder + The Soloist = Downey owns you all. Sit down.
