Thanks to http://michelle-williams.net, I have added fantastic scans of Robert in Entertainment Weekly!

Thanks to Kelly, I have added a scan from the latest People magazine, featuring the sexiest men. I am so happy Robert was in this issue!

I’ve got the new poster of Sherlock Holmes and I just added it to the gallery. The Quality is very good. You can see the poster below.

ROBERT DOWNEY JR. will consider retirement if his upcoming SHERLOCK HOLMES movie flops.
The actor is adamant that if his new detective movie doesn’t do well as the box office on its release next month (Dec09), he will think about winding down his film career because he will not be obligated to any sequels.
But Downey Jr. admits he might follow in the footsteps of rapper Jay-Z by announcing his retirement and then bouncing back months later with an exciting new project.
He tells Entertainment Weekly, “I can only be a guy on a call sheet probably, I don’t know, maybe a couple more times. It’s something I’m so grateful to have in my palm, and yet I already see its inevitable decay.
“If Sherlock Holmes performs well, I could be busy for the next 5 or 7 or 10 years. But we’d like to go ahead and suggest the Jay-Z model wherein one announces his retirement, soaks in all the requisite fanfare, and then behaves like it never happened. It’s really the best of both worlds.” [Source]

Robert Downey Jr. is at the top of his acting game with the success of “Iron Man,” its planned sequels and the upcoming “Sherlock Holmes,” but is the actor looking to make an exit from the big screen?

“I will not be able to remain happy and sedate being whatever — being an increasingly hirable actor type,” Downey told Esquire magazine in its December issue. “I think the best thing I could do for my soul and my own development would be to direct.”

The 44-year-old actor said his time left on the big screen is uncertain — but that a role behind the camera is something he foresees happening.

“I’m not sure exactly how things are going to shake out, because it’s really easy for me to do landgrabs with my day job, and I still have a lot of passion for it,” he continued. “But if I had to guess, that would probably be my next move.”

“It’s in my blood from my dad and it’s — there are a bunch of other things I’ve always wanted to do that remain very, very much unrequited,” he told the mag. “And no matter how you slice it, I am still executing the wishes, thoughts, themes, titles, and stories coming from elsewhere. I feel like they’re mine, because I really invest myself in them — but there are some interesting things out there.”

I have added the awesome photoshoot Robert did for Esquire to the gallery. Below is the video!

The back-deck view from the A-List is quiet and spectacular. That’s the monstrous ivory Getty Center standing mid ground, and through the haze across the San Fernando Valley, the mountains. There’s a woman taking a gentle dip in a pool beyond the far side of the deck, her head bobbing in silent profile.

Here the root beer is microbrewed; all proceeds go to help shelter dogs. The water, an advanced hydration beverage patented for high levels of stabilized dissolved oxygen, is A-list, too. Luncheon — sliced steak and salmon fillet — is being prepped by the chef, Louise, whose shortcake-and-cream dessert will be gluten-free.

Is this heaven, or Pacific Palisades?

I am not making fun. I want to stay here, live here, curl up on the bench and snooze the afternoon away. The root beer is frosty and delicious. The woman in the pool is standing now, shoulder-deep, her back turned, talking on the phone; too soft to hear, her voice floats on the late-summer breeze, hidden by birdsong. Sun-kissed, my tape recorder shines, waiting for our host.

Our host is in a meeting, in the house; the A-list means the meetings come to you. A few moments more and time will jerk forward again, this blissful silence will flee in holy terror, and Robert Downey Jr. will come, calling me the name that only he has ever called me — dude — and I will tell him how happy I am to see him and to see how far he has come since I saw him last.

“Oh, dude,” he’ll say. “It’s so cool. It’s just so gratifying. This morning I was feeling this overwhelming sense of gratitude. I was having an argument with myself, and the thing that came into my head was, If two plus three is five, then five minus three is two — do you fucking get it?”

He gets it, and that’s really all that counts. The last time I spent time with Downey, the Iron Man crew was just building the sets, and he had yet to be — despite his unparalleled chops, and the infamy of his hellride, and the hard labor of recovering himself and his career — the star of a smash hit. The last time, he was nervous, maybe even a trifle frightened by Jon Favreau and Marvel rolling a $140 million pair of bones by casting a fortyish ex-con to star as a second-tier comic-book superhero in the sort of movie he had never made before.
