Son of director Robert Downey Sr., Robert John Downey Jr. made his acting debut at the age of five in his father’s 1970 movie ‘Pound.’ Following his appearances in teen movies, he gained critical acclaim starring as Charlie Chaplin in the 1992 biopic, ‘Chaplin.’ Shortly afterward, Robert’s life was upended as he was twice convicted of drug charges and spent time in correctional facilities. After Mel Gibson paid his insurance bond, Robert made his comeback to the big screen in 2003 with ‘The Singing Detective.’ While films like ‘Kiss Kiss Bang Bang’ and ‘Tropic Thunder’ helped him regain his footing in Hollywood, it was his turn as Iron Man, aka Tony Stark, in the eponymous superhero film that launched the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which propelled him to global stardom.
