Robert Downey,
Jr., son of the avid filmmaker Robert Downey, Sr., is an American actor famous
for his brilliant acting in ‘Chaplin’, quirky version of ‘Tony Stark’ in ‘Iron
Man’ and decades of living under the shadow of drug abuse and breaching of law.

young age, owing to his highly creative and addicted father. He has spent his
life in and out of tabloids, rehabilitation centers and prisons and yet, his
acting skills and talent has given him the status of one of the most cherished
