Robert Downey Jr. walked the red carpet with his 29-year-old son Indio during his latest public appearance!

The 57-year-old Iron Man actor was joined by Indio while attending the premiere of his new Netflix documentary Sr. during the 2022 AFI Fest on Friday (November 4) at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood.

Robert was also joined by his wife Susan Downey, who produced the movie with him.

Sr. takes a look at the “life and career of Robert Downey Sr., the fearless and visionary American director who set the standard for countercultural comedy in the 1960s and 1970s.”

The movie will be released on Netflix on December 2.

Indio is Robert‘s son with ex-wife Deborah Falconer. Six years ago, the actor talked publicly about his son’s struggle with addiction and his journey to becoming sober.

FYI: RDJ is wearing P448 sneakers.

Robert Downey Jr. is opening up about his 22-year-old son Indio‘s battle with addiction in a new post on his Facebook on Friday (March 11).

The 50-year-old actor wrote a touching note about Indio becoming sober and his dedication to music and his band, The Dose.

“Congrats are in order for my firstborn, and I’m proud to oblige – Having braved the crucible of addiction (and pleased the court), his ongoing commitment to recovery continues to inspire and amaze…,” he wrote.

Robert added, “As long as we can remember, Indio has been a musician at heart. In the last several years, with his band mate Ralph Alexander, I’ve witnessed their dedication, consistency, and determination to grow as artists. I’ve also made it my business to be of as little help as possible, as nepotism usually does more harm than good…Just for today, I’m gonna ease up on that. Trust me and give these fine young men a listen.”

Here is what the 49-year-old The Judge actor had to share with the mag:

On his son Indio’s drug problems: “He’s his mother’s son and my son, and he’s come up the chasm much quicker than we did. But that’s typical in the Information Age; things get accelerated. You’re confronted with histories and predispositions and influences and feelings and unspoken traumas or needs that weren’t met, and all of a sudden you’re three miles into the woods. Can you help someone get out of those woods? Yes, you can. By not getting lost looking for them. Pick a dysfunction and it’s a family problem.”

On playing Iron Man in the Marvel series: “I’ve gone from being convinced that I am the sole integer in the approbation of a phenomenon to realizing that I was the lead in the first of a series of movies that created a chain reaction that, if everything didn’t fire the way it was supposed to, there’s no operator, no anything. And you go, O.K., life is doing something here that included me but did not require me. But, yes, that role means a lot. Marvel is kind of like this sacred brotherhood.”

Indio Downey, the 20-year-old son of actor Robert Downey Jr., has been charged with felony possession of a controlled substance, according to TMZ.

Back in June, Indio was arrested after cops noticed he was smoking something out of a pipe while in the passenger seat of a friend’s car. He was in possession of cocaine at the time.

Because Indio is a first time offender, he is automatically entitled to enter a drug diversion program. In addition to the felony charge, he was also charged with misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia.

Robert, who famously struggled with addiction throughout his life, publicly thanked the Sheriff’s department for their intervention.

Robert Downey, Jr. has released a statement following his 20-year-old son Indio‘s arrest for cocaine possession over the weekend.

“Unfortunately there’s a genetic component to addiction and Indio has likely inherited it. Also, there is a lot of family support and understanding, and we’re all determined to rally behind him and help him become the man he’s capable of being,” the 49-year-old Iron Man actor said in his statement (via TMZ). “We’re grateful to the Sheriff’s department for their intervention, and believe Indio can be another recovery success story instead of a cautionary tale.”

In some more positive news for Robert, he was just named the Most Powerful Actor in the World by Forbes for the mag’s Celebrity 100 list.

Robert Downey Jr.‘s son Indio (pictured here back in May 2008) was arrested this weekend for cocaine possession, according to TMZ.

The 20-year-old was driving around in the passenger seat with one of his friends on Sunday (June 29) at around 2pm PT in West Hollywood, Calif. when a cop pulled up alongside the car and noticed the passenger smoking out of a pipe.

The car was pulled over and an L.A. County Sheriff’s deputy did a search, which resulted in allegedly finding cocaine in Indio‘s possesion. He was arrested, taken to jail, and then posted his $10,000 bail just after midnight.

Robert famously struggled with drug addiction and spent time in prison before cleaning up his act and rebooting his career.

UPDATE: Read the statement that Robert released about his son and addiction.
