RDJ Before Iron Man and Sherlock Holmes

I am a fan of Robert Downey, Jr. since the 80's. Even then, he showed real talent in acting despite his heartrob image. Later in his career, news shock me if not all fans that he got arrested for drugs. 2 years ago, I came across an establishment with a poster, "Prison shots of celebrity personalities". Among all the personalities, RDJ's was the most noticeable and unique. A guy told me in a joke that RDJ was trying to get into character for his eventual role as Tony Stark.

My good friend and fellow fan told me that his smile in his photo looks like he finds this drug situation amusing. But the good part is that he moved past this phase and made an amazing comeback. Since then, we never get enough of him.
