Robert Downey Jr, plenty manly
By Spirit FingersIt seems that Robert Downey Jr has discovered the internet, and so far he doesn’t like what he has seen:
ROBERT DOWNEY Jr has hit out at claims he’s not macho enough to play comic book hero Iron Man. The Oscar-winning star is upset at comments that some fans have posted on websites, particularly one that compared him to Gwyneth Paltrow.
“The teaser trailer has gone down really well,” said the actor. “But there’s always someone who has to have a dig.
“One comment I saw said, ‘Downey looks like he’s wearing more makeup than Gwyneth Paltrow.’ The truth is I did nothing more than get a tan on a sun bed. There was no makeup.”
Rest assured Robert, many of us will be making it a personal priority to diligently evaluate Tony Stark’s muscle tone and other physical attributes of masculinity when Iron Man hits the big screen in May 2008. The more tight fitting shirts there are, the more that helps in this painstaking task.
In the meantime you might want to avoid using the same hair colourist as Gwyneth and stop hogging the big girl swing.
