This was Robert Downey Jr.'s audition for Iron Man

Robert Downey Jr. got emotional delivering a bionic arm to a 7-year-old boy

Fascinating. You can see him building the structure of what will eventually look like a totally natural embodiment of Tony Stark. Great acting looks effortless, but is actually the result of many, many reps.

Christopher Nolan says Robert Downey Jr. playing Iron Man is “one of the most consequential casting decisions that’s ever been made in the history of movies.”

Wow he does a decent iron man impression.

Iconic role. Legendary in his own right!

Eh

He's gonna be very successful someday.

kinda crazy how one man carried an entire franchise while half the cast acted like they were in a high school play

Method acting level: built a suit in a cave with a box of scraps 🧨🛠️😎
