Set your DVRs! On April 22nd, “Finding Your Roots” will dip into Robert Downey Jr’s past to reveal some information about his family. Along with RDJ, the sixth episode of the series will feature Maggie Gyllenhaal. The hour-long show will air on PBS at 7pm. For more information, visit the official site, or read a summary below:
Many American descend from a dense soups of European ethnicities; we could call them mutts, with ancestral roots across every country in Europe. Actors Robert Downey, Jr. and Maggie Gyllenhaal are textbook examples of Americans with a rich tapestry of European immigrant stories making up their family trees. We delve in to their deep American roots in early colonial communities, and we meet their Eastern European Jewish ancestors, who share almost identical migration stories From the Mayflower to Ellis Island, we journey through centuries of immigration that shaped and built our melting pot nation.
“Not having done drugs for literally five or six years is a lifetime,” says actor Robert Downey Jr. in Playboy’s November issue (on newsstands and available at www.playboydigital.com Friday, October 15). “I think of myself as someone who has no desire, use for or conscious memory of that life. And yet I don’t shut the door on it, and I don’t pretend it didn’t happen.”
At the age of 45, Downey has already been through hell and back after a much-talked-about battle with drug addiction, but is now a model of the turnaround success story. His career re-surged with roles in three major films — “Iron Man,” “Sherlock Holmes,” and “Tropic Thunder” — and he now finds himself in the company of such bankable stars as Will Smith, Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp and Leonardo DiCaprio.
