Robert Downey Jr. is a Rolling Stone

Robert Downey Jr. is a Rolling Stone

Iron Man star Robert Downey Jr. shows how he defeated his demons to become Hollywood’s badass superhero in the latest issue of Rolling Stone.

On his current identity: “I’m between two phases right now, pre-Iron Man and post-Iron Man, and the transition can be tricky. It used to be, I’d drive onto a studio lot, and the guard was like, ‘Less Than Zero dude, I loved Chaplin!’ Now it’s, ‘Iron Man!’”

On his crazy schedule since Iron Man: “Right now, my BlackBerry is literally overloading and crashing, and the phone is never not ringing. It’s crazy. Like a Super Bowl. Like a landslide. Like nothing I’ve ever experienced.”

On moving forward in his life: “I’m such a work in progress at the moment, it’s crazy, and life wants me on edge, I swear to you. But as long as I don’t forget the past, I’m cool. One must always be mindful, just like you might forget that old girlfriend who tried to slit your throat, but she’s really still hot. If you remember the stitches more than you remember the pussy, you’re going to be just fine.”

You know what? This is just absolutely stupid and meaningless mind chatter that really no one would be interested in listening to if it were not Robert Downey. I really get amazed at how banal and ignorant so many people sound when interviewed in RS. Not all: Some. Why is that? I remember an interview with Dave Grohl where he was throwing so many f-bombs he sounded like some moronic guido from the darkest parts of Jersey. I mean – c’mon! Just because people are celebs does not make them interesting or worth pages of interview. What a total twit.

MUCH, MUCH better than the Jonas Brothers and The Hills girls, who previously were on the cover (which is a disgrace).

I’m so glad he got it together. He’s fabulous. I hope he continues to find success. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Iron Man. He just keeps getting better.

Downey’s amazing talent and charisma are undeniable, but he really disappointed me with that final quote. I get his point, but it’s violent, it’s vulgar and it does nothing to encourage me that he’s evolved much out of ex-junkie/jailbird mode.

So, Robert, please stay clean, because the longer you do, you will rise out of your lower chakras.

I guess people in LA /Hollywood think those kinda remarks are amusing. Call me old-fashioned, but I don’t.

“remember the stitches more than you remember the *****?” That should be every guy’s motto. I love him and want to have his babies.
