 “Now that we were really there and doing it, and as long as it wasn’t $165,000,000 or something like that, that was something that was going to go down the tubes if that wasn’t something that we were going to make that was trying to be entertaining,” he adds, “We’d do what Jon and I would be trying to do on a movie all the time anyway, which is enhance it and improvise and think of ways to incorporate different sensibilities into it.” One of the many different sensibilities Downey Jr. claims Favreau incorporated into Iron Man was improvisation. During a moment on the set, he recalls how a dispute over a particular scene allowed the actor plenty of flexibility to spice up dialogue. “Well, what happened was that they lit it one way and I came and said, ‘Uh-oh!’ Jon’s like, ‘Downey, what is it now?

That’s what happened with me after we did this world tour and came back at the Waldorf and they were like, ‘Mister, is there anything you would like on your cheeseburger?’ and I said, ‘Two things, I want a cheeseburger and I want a press conference.’ So he got what he wanted and I didn’t have to hit it.” As any actor would tell you, playing a superhero is often a very physically demanding role. However, when asked, Robert claims his already active physical regimen put much of any such concern to rest. “The physical part was I had been, for some reason or another, training for a couple of months before and I’d been in martial arts for five years now,” Downey Jr. says, “So I was kind of up to speed, but wasn’t. I figured if I was going to try to look like I was in shape, I might as well do it before I was too old to have it be feasible ... |
