I used to wake up in the mornings and say, “Robert Downey, Jr. is in my movie. Is this really real? Is this happening”? It was kind of astounding. Robert was amazing to work with. He was incredibly generous. He liked to be able to “play” as he put it. As long as he had room to “play” he was a happy guy and he would give everything. He was just a pleasure to work with. He always gave you something different and there’s nothing that I ever asked him to do that he didn’t do with enthusiasm. He was just there to go for it all the time. He was dealing with some stuff in the movie that relates to his real life and he was very brave about that too.

How do you think he will do as Tony Stark in “Iron-Man”?

Robert is incredibly excited about being Iron-Man. Robert is a comic book fiend and he relishes the opportunity to bring what he does to that world.
