Robert Downey, Jr.: Our Kind of Guy

Posted Feb 25th 2007 9:35PM by TMZ Staff

Introducing the Oscar for Best Visual Effects with Naomi Watts, Robert Downey, Jr. won us over all over again.

"Visual effects: They enable us to see aliens, experience other universes, move in slow-motion, or watch spiders climbing high above the city landscape." (a beat) "For me, just a typical weeknight in the mid-Nineties."

God, I love this guy: Abusive childhood. Seen more snow than the Swiss alps. Regular jail. Movie jail.

Sense of humor still intact.

4. Robert got his start because of nepotism. Which is fine if one is as talented as he is. He's a funny, fun guy as well and never boring.

8. Wanda,
What's with the video link? It has nothing to do with the subject matter at hand.
I suspect you are using different names each time you post as I have seen that link many, many times here. How much are you getting paid to direct traffic to that site?

On the subject matter, Robert Downey, Jr. is awesome!!

13. Robert Downey Jr. is a great actor and easy on the eyes. I'm so pround of him for his sobriety.

14. Yeah, about as obvious as 'Charlie' Sheen making fun of himself every second joke... on 2 1/2 men. Funny none the less.
