Robert Downey Jr. Talks “Iron Man 2″
Mr. Stark Goes to Washington.
Robert Downey Jr. is out doing publicity for “The Soloist,” but it didn’t seem like an exactly tough task to get him to talk about the just-started-shooting “Iron Man 2.” Collider was able to get him to discuss a number of topics, for example, what is Garry Shandling doing in the movie? (pause) Okay, he’s playing a senator at the hearings Tony Stark must attend as the government attempts to force him to turn over the Iron Man suit and other high-tech toys.
What else does Downey have to say? Well, it would be unsporting of me to just paste the whole interview here, so instead, here’s a teaser quote:
The set pieces have to do with things that aren’t your typical like bad guy conflict. The relationships are very complex and hilarious. The motivations Tony has and why he turns around and does things has completely to do with his own internal processes and it really is, I think, as much as we tried to in the first one really see behind the façade of this kind of storytelling. We really, I think, leaving ourselves open to…we’re kind of trying to tell a story about how a dysfunctional family saves life on Earth as we know it.
It sounds maybe a little melodramatic, but Favreau/Downey Jr. have given me no reason to distrust them. We’ll see how it comes out. And don’t forget, you can read the rest of the interview at Collider. Happy fantasizing!

Hell ya he’s entertaining!!! Robert Downey Jr. & Gerard Butler are the 2 most entertaining people on the planet!!!! Their my favorite actors ever too. Their talent & looks speaks for itself. No words needed, just their looks, movies, & humor. I would do anything to meet them in person. I’m an artist & I hope to become an actress when I’m older. My top goal is to meet these 2 guys & have them help me become an actress. I wouldn’t mind meeting Downey’s son Indio either. He’s got quite the looks like his dad. I’m turning 18 on 2/14, but I don’t care too much about age.As long as the family doesn’t have a problem. Approval is always needed. He looks like a really sweet boy with humour like his dad & that’s great!!!!! I find humor to be the most important thing in a person. Well, I also want to know if Robert Downey Jr. gives piano lessons? I’ve taught myself how to play since I was in 1st grade & I still suck. I want to play like Downey does. He rocks!!! I love his music(The Futurist)!!! My dad is a guitar player. He is amazing!!! He’s made a couple CD’s. I think it would be sooo sweet if my dad & Robert Downey Jr. actually played some music together. Good God would that be a dream come true!!!! Well, I’m really into the arts of movies,music, & drawing. I make all my $$$ by selling my art. I also give massages every now & then. People say I should become a masseuse cause of my strong hands. ????not sure???? I mainly do portraits of people/animals & cartoons, but I’ll try anything. I love a good challenge, but hopefully one day I make my $$$ off of acting. I keep my hobbies simple yet still unique. I love all sports especially swimming,dirt biking,foot ball,soccer, volley ball, hockey, & tennis. I still dirt bike,swim,play volley ball & love to walk/run. I used to play soft ball & I won 1st place in tennis one year. I kick ass in foot ball, but now I keep my options open to everything. I collect movies & action figures based off movies/TV. I have to admit it, I love school. I’m an honors student & I’m graduating early. I was supposed to graduate last year in 11Th, but my friends were able to persuade me to stay for another year & take extra classes. I hope to go to college to study drama, but it’s difficult. I’m having trouble finding a college near by that has drama. I have to stay near home cause I have a seizure disorder, I’ve had it since I was 9yrs old. it SUCKS!!!!!!!!!! I wish Robert Downey Jr. & Gerard Butler could teach me acting. I would love to be in a movie with them!!!! I would love to be as talented & successful as them. Their different than the others…in a good way. They have something extra, something special that no one else has. It’s like Downey & Butler were made to be the BEST!!!! It’s just that they have that ability to be themselves & act natural & still have the gift of natural talent, beauty, humor & style. I think it’s great that they have that unique history. If it weren’t for that history, they wouldn’t be who they are today. The past is what got them here. I love a interesting background with a combination of the goods & bads. It says that their different, creative, normal yet also abnormal at the same time, & just happy with who they are. It makes them just the way God wanted them to be. I still would do anything to meet them in person!!!!! Now that would be my dream come true. I tell you, if it weren’t for those 2 men, I wouldn’t have the self confidence I do today. I wouldn’t be reaching for my highest goals & future success I see in my future. I don’t even know them in person & I still feel like I have more support from them than my own family & really…that’s good enough for me!!!!! Well, all I know is that according to Downey/Butler’s past, anything is possible if you set your mind to it & that’s exactly what I’m going to do. I’m going to find that acting talent I know i have & make a living out of it & hopefully one day meet my 2 role models who helped me get there. Thanks
