How Robert Downey Jr. became an exemplary family man

I'm squeezed into the passenger seat of a black 1965 Corvette; The car belongs to the highest paid movie star on planet Earth. On a weekday afternoon, California's main thoroughfare, the Pacific Coast Highway, is almost empty, and we have plenty of room to wander. The actor recalls one special day from his creative biography. It was in the late 1970s, on the set of Robert Downey Sr.’s comedy “Fuck the Academy”:
“We filmed in the town of Salina, Kansas,” says the artist, drawing out the word “Salina”, as if imbued with the aroma of old, unspoiled America. — I had a small Honda scooter - tiny, not even a motorcycle, because I was too small to drive a big one. So, the girl who starred in the film, Stacy Nelkin, a beauty with incredible tits, asked me to take her from the set to the hotel and while we were driving, she snuggled up to me the whole way. I can't say that it was this incident that convinced me that I was destined to become an actor, but this trip changed my life. Once and for all.
Here is a portrait of a movie star: forty-nine years old, dark glasses, a baseball cap, complete indifference to the long faces of the drivers we overtake. Well, Robert Downey is acting like a movie star. And that's great. Because recently, if anyone has forgotten, he was not her. He was a prisoner or, as Hank Williams sang, “not a man—a number.”
Prisoner number P50522. A cog in the penitentiary system. After a series of arrests (for drunkenness, drug possession and escape from a drug treatment clinic), the artist was placed in the California prison drug treatment center in Corcoran. Simply put, in a general regime colony. But as far as Downey is concerned, his time behind bars was well spent. A month in prison is like ten semesters of acting school. It helps to comprehend one’s own career infinity and to draw, so to speak, the inner acting truth that thoughtful directors value so much. Now, after serving time, Downey's enriched insides can be savored as a mature Sinatra, who was dumped by Ava Gardner. Don’t just rejoice at a cute little face—see your whole life in it.
The films in which Robert starred, having regained freedom, one way or another retell his own story: death, rebirth, ordeal in the underworld, redemption. A great example is Iron Man and its sequels, which are nothing more than the tabloid exploits of an actor in a comic book cover. Judge for yourself: Tony Stark, a billionaire industrialist, owner of planes, trains, steamships, a heavy drinker, a lover of supermodels, etc., etc., takes a crooked path because of his own ambition. Terrorists raid his car - much like how Malibu sheriffs raided the actor himself. He fights, but he is caught, handcuffed, beaten and locked in a cave, the only way out of which is death. But no, he doesn't die; on the contrary, he gains new strength and an iron suit, with the help of which he destroys all his enemies. And then he returns to his good old life, armed, like the hero of a fairy tale, with wisdom and understanding of what this thing is - life.
“The first stage is to get out of the cave,” Downey develops the idea. “Many succeed in this, but not everyone succeeds in changing, understanding the power of the destructive denial of their fate and being reforged in the crucible of trials into a more durable alloy. Something like this. But I'm not sure that my example is about that at all. Five years ago I would have been the first to run and say that yes, I tried to make our similarities more prominent, but a lot has changed since then. So I swear to God I'm not equal to my story.
Thus, Downey is now entering the era of his third incarnation. The first incarnation is a prodigy of teenage cinema of the 1980s, who could climb into anyone’s skin and play any role. The second incarnation is the Phoenix rising from the ashes, a powerful actor-magnate who has re-formulated an entire genre and, as a result, has seriously lined his pockets. The third incarnation is starting now: producer, co-founder of the production company Team Downey, which just debuted "The Judge."
Robert plays the son of the Chief Justice (Robert Duvall), a one-size-fits-all parent disillusioned with the life trajectory of the offspring on whom he placed so much hope.
- How fast is he?
- Who?
— “Corvette.”
“See for yourself,” Downey answers and presses on the gas. There is a second of rumbling, then the car shoots out at incredible speed - Duval would call it a bomb horse. In the sense that if a bomb explodes nearby, this horse won’t even move. The brake is the only problem. If someone cuts us off, we can go to heaven holding hands.
The actor slows down, turns sharply and drives out onto the road leading to the house. Gate, camera, wave of the hand. We rustle through the gravel past a giant letter R that looks like real pop art. This Malibu home was built by Iron Man: Robert and Susan bought it shortly after the film's profits began to trickle into their account. Spread over seven acres overlooking the ocean, this 1950s-inspired manorial estate. Downey lives there with his wife and son Exton, two and a half years old, plus cats and a coffee machine. There are two cats, and they are incredibly fluffy. The personal staff consists of a chef and several assistants; One of them, Jimmy Rich, the security guard who runs errands, has an Iron Man tattooed on his ankle (try and fire him now). Downey also has tattoos; one of them on the shoulder - Suzie Q - in honor of his wife.

Robert leads me inside, sits me down in the kitchen and makes me a cup of strong coffee. Meeting a movie star in person is a strange experience. The one whom you are used to seeing in two dimensions, as in a dream, appears in the flesh, like a giant R on the lawn. Often the real person doesn't live up to his on-screen image, and you feel sad. The star notices this, and she also becomes sad. With Downey it’s the other way around - his screen aura is always with him: in reality you get exactly the same as in the movies. Of course, you know what he looks like: a compact, thin man, olive skin, big eyes, elegantly handsome, but not overly elegant and not exactly handsome. If I were tasked with drawing a cartoon of Downey, I would wrap his silhouette in broken lines, symbolizing the energy he spreads around. You need to look at it like an eclipse - through darkened glass.
I ask about life, childhood, parental responsibilities, and bad habits. Each answer results in a ten-minute monologue about deep things and eternal meanings. When asked about his artistic influences, Downey responds:
“I was raised by a black and white TV show, it seemed to me that I was born right in front of him.” Rod Serling, Bill Shatner, Hogan's Heroes, Gilligan's Island, Antonio Fargas in Starsky and Hutch and Putney Swope. Allan Arbace and Hervé Villechaize in "Griser's Palace" and "The Magic Island".
There is something both manic and soothing about the way he speaks; in the ease with which he jumps from one topic to another. Everything reminds him of everything.
— I remember walking with my father around New York wearing a Superman T-shirt. They just started printing. We also had a prop throne, my father sat on it.
— Was your father Superman, and did he rule your world?
- Yes, he was a tall, handsome brunette, a real good guy.
— You had an interesting childhood.
“Interesting is the right word,” Downey says. “I listened many times to people talking about their terrible childhoods. I prefer the word “interesting.” Often it is people with “interesting things” who move art forward. It's amazing how many world leaders and famous people have been psychopaths.
Robert Downey Sr. made arthouse films, and his career peaked in the 1970s. Downey Jr. was old enough by then to wander around curiously among his dad's drunken friends. The actor's mother Elsie Downey was a screenwriter and actress. His parents quickly divorced, so Robert happened to live in a variety of places: Queens, London, Santa Monica, the Lower East Side and Greenwich Village. Downey compares himself to “the son of a regiment,” only his father went to war with producers. Bobby had to attend the coolest parties in New York and Los Angeles in the 1970s. When he was six or seven, his father smoked a joint with him; Downey was introduced to show business as the children of mafiosi were to theft-in-law. Acting was almost no different from ordinary life; At the age of five, Bobby made his debut with his father in the film “Animal Shelter”, playing a puppy. At the age of seven he starred in the cult classic Griser's Palace.
Then Hollywood roles began: with John Hughes in “Rugrats,” with his then-girlfriend Sarah Jessica Parker in “Newborn” and “Girls Who Want to Party.” During the 1985 season, Downey worked as a member of the troupe of Saturday Night Live - the same one with Randy Quaid and Joan Cusack, which is considered the most disastrous in the history of the show. His breakthrough came in 1987, when the actor starred in James Toback's The Removal Specialist and in the Bret Easton Ellis film adaptation of Less Than Zero. At some point, the story of Julian, a perpetually stoned reveler from the West Coast, smoothly flows into the life story of Downey himself - a Hollywood child who grew up in a world of cinema and drugs. This role defined the actor's early career; the openness with which the guy was ready to put himself on public display was fascinating. Mel Gibson, with whom Downey starred in the comedy Air America, still recalls with a shudder the manic energy of the young actor:
“He sat in the dressing room chair with a newspaper in his hands and recounted in verse the contents of articles about politics. His brain is a miracle; It's surprising that he didn't destroy it to the ground.
It was this passion for gushing improvisation that came in handy when Downey played Chaplin. Of course, he wasn't the most obvious choice to play cinema's greatest comedian. The grotesque fart from the movie "Back to School" - and Chaplin?! Robert had to show Charlie's life over half a century, and he dove headfirst into the character. During the tests it became clear that further search was useless. Having cast Downey in the role of the sacred monster of the film pantheon, director Richard Attenborough introduced him by the hand into the inner sanctum of the acting elite.
It was with this role that Robert earned all the second and third chances that he was later given in Hollywood. For “Chaplin,” the actor was nominated for an Oscar, but lost to Pacino and his blind man from “Scent of a Woman.” In addition, “Chaplin” did not bring much profit, like other films with Downey’s participation. Well, the existence of an actor who is adored by intellectuals but ignored by audiences always balances on the brink.
The sun sets like a red ball into its kennel somewhere beyond the horizon. The letter R casts a three-meter shadow.
“Let’s go for a walk,” the actor suggests. “I’ll show you my possessions before it gets completely dark.”
We stop at a wooden barn a hundred meters from the house.
- What is this?
- Our zoo.
Downey opens the door to reveal a couple of goats. Hidden in the depths is a quartet of alpacas, the strangest looking animals in the world.
“This is Fuzzy,” Downey says. - The only one who likes people.
- Why do you need alpacas? — I clarify.
The actor hesitates for a minute, thoughtfully, then answers:
- No idea.
I mention that I read somewhere that Downey is a Jewish Buddhist. The actor seems confused.
— JewBu? - he says ironically. — My friend likes to call himself and his wife that way. I may have called myself that once, but it’s not true. Nothing I say can be trusted unless I have given you my word. And if I gave you my word, nothing else matters.
We approach the parking lot; With two dozen cars hiding under a tarp, I'm able to guess most of them by their silhouettes.
— “Porsche”?
- Great!
— “Corvette”?
- Back to the point. And this is a Ford 150. Bentley gave it to me as part of the fee for the third Iron Man. There's a Volvo, and that's a Woody. This is a 1970 Boss 302 Mustang. Mercedes-Benz Pagoda, also from 1970. This is my good friend Audi, with whom I became friends during the first episode. A8. Here comes the Audi R7, one of the greatest cars ever designed. This is a Mercedes-Benz van. There's a 2011 Volkswagen GTI there.
— So the entire collection was collected after “Iron Man”?
-Are you kidding? Before this, I didn't even have a GTI.
While we were walking, the moon hung over Malibu. I tune in to the appropriate mood and make an attempt to find out new details of the actor’s prison and drug past. How does he fight his demons?

“It's usually just a function of age,” Downey replies. “It’s completely normal to abuse something when you’re young.” But what causes your midbrain to give your forebrain the order to reformat a temporary obsession into a malignant addiction is a mystery. It's amazing what humans are capable of, especially considering how evolutionarily underdeveloped we are.
Downey claims that he most likely inherited his addictions. Which brings us to the situation with Indio Downey, the actor's son with first wife Deborah Falconer, who was recently charged with illegal drug possession after "a California police officer allegedly witnessed the accused blowing maliciously in broad daylight," according to a New York newspaper. Daily News.
“He is my son and his mother’s son, and he managed to try everything much earlier than we did.” Well, child of the information age, they are all accelerators. Is it possible to help someone get out of the dark forest? Yes, only if you don’t get lost in it yourself,” the actor hesitates for a couple of seconds and summarizes: “Choose any family dysfunction and you will stumble upon the problem of our family.”
Downey knows what he's talking about: he started taking drugs as a kid. Then, on a wave of recognition and adoration, it turned into a problem. In June 1996, the actor was stopped for speeding. The cops searched the car: heroin, cocaine, crack, an unloaded .357 Magnum. Everything else developed according to the scenario of a bad dream: a drug treatment clinic, an escape in pajamas and a Hawaiian shirt, a new clinic, a new escape. In 1999, a man appeared before a judge, begging not to be sent to prison: “I feel like I have a gun in my mouth, my finger on the trigger and the taste of metal on my tongue.” He was sentenced to three years, of which the actor served almost a year. Immediately after his release, Fox signed him to a recurring role on the series Ally McBeal. Downey earned a Golden Globe for it; endless stories about magical returns filled the pages of newspapers and magazines. Late that year, police responded to an anonymous call and searched the actor's Palm Springs hotel room. They found cocaine and methamphetamines. Despite this, Fox renewed the contract for the next season.
In the spring of 2001, Downey walked barefoot through Culver City, California, was arrested and sent to a drug treatment clinic. Fox terminated the contract, the actor's career was hanging by a thread, insurance companies refused to issue insurance to the actor, which deprived him of the opportunity to act in studio films. Mel Gibson helped, involving Robert in the small film “The Singing Detective” and personally vouching for him. Downey was again invited to big films: “Gothika”, “Kiss Bang Bang”, “Good Night and Good Luck” by George Clooney.
“He was almost written off as scrap, it was hard to watch, because he is incredibly talented,” Gibson recalls. “He is his own worst enemy, but we are all not without sin.” I'm much worse than him! You must be able to see and accept the shortcomings of others. He managed to return to normal life so confidently that it is admirable.
The great comeback began with Gothic, on the set of which Downey met Susan Levine, vice president of production at Joel Silver's Silver Pictures. Downey fell in love with Levin, a Chicago native who managed to channel his frantic energy in the right direction.
“We met on the set in Montreal,” says Susan. “Trying to maintain a professional approach, I tried to think of him solely as an actor and a nice guy. There was something mundanely normal about him. Only towards the end of filming did I begin to suspect that the acquaintance might drag on. But even then I told myself: don’t even think about it, he’s an actor, and I have a normal job. Then, already in Los Angeles, everything happened quite quickly.” They married in 2005 and founded their own company a few years later. Son Exton was born in 2012. He is blond and charming. So far he has no idea that his dad is very different from other dads.
We had dinner and are finishing our conversation. Downey leans back, espresso in hand, the window wide open behind him. The artist looks tired, but this is good fatigue - tired from a successful day at work. I'm wondering what Team Downey's plans are.
— We have television and film projects. Working on stories for future films is something of an aphrodisiac for Susan and me. I love watching her brain work. And now I’ll show you something that I’m really looking forward to,” Downey breaks into a smile, jumps up and rushes into the next room. A minute later he returns with a photo.
“We’ll have to put on glasses,” jokes the actor, holding out a three-dimensional sonogram in which an unborn child resembles an astronaut flying in a capsule in outer space. “It’s a girl,” explains the happy father. Beautiful, her fist clenched in a salute. “There’s something else,” the actor takes me out into the street, where another vehicle stands, covered with a tarpaulin. Huge, like a mammoth. Hummer, I think, or Range Rover. Downey laughs and rips off the tarp: a Honda Odyssey minivan. Great, I think, in the course of one evening I have followed this man's odyssey from a Hollywood star in a race car to one of us in the family minivan, a coffin on wheels that creaks like a ship and rocks you to sleep until you fall asleep in the sweet sleep of a man in his prime middle-aged.
“If I have to take the girls somewhere,” Downey explains, “I have to be ready.”

Biography
Indio Falconer Downey was born on September 7, 1993. His mother, model and singer Deborah Falconer, is Robert's first official wife.
As a child, the son was very close to his father and spent all his free time with him. Robert took Indio Downey to filming and tried to teach the boy to act from childhood. However, the star father did not realize that he was showing his son not only all the delights of Hollywood, but also his lifestyle. Just 12 years ago, Robert suffered from a terrible drug addiction and was a frequent guest in rehabilitation centers. However, every time he left the clinic, the brawler returned to his old ways.

After Downey Jr. was fired from the studio, he was jailed for 16 months for possession of hard drugs and weapons. Then little Indio was only 3 years old. After 8 years, Deborah could not stand her husband’s constant antics and filed for divorce. The eldest son was very upset by his parents’ breakup, but the boy was still constantly with his father.
Wife of Robert Downey Jr. - Susan Nicole Downey
The wife of Robert Downey (Jr.), Susan Nicole Downey, is one of the most sought-after producers in the film industry. At the beginning of the 2000s, the woman met her future husband and became his agent. She still represents the interests of the star.
At first, the lovers' relationship was friendly. They did not at all think that they would become an officially married couple. The stars have repeatedly stated this. Then they began to do business together, opening their own production center.
In 2012, the official wedding ceremony took place. Only relatives and friends attended the event. The family was replenished with a son and daughter. Despite being incredibly busy in various projects, the woman is actively involved in raising her son and daughter.
Facts from the life of an actor
The tabloid press is still wondering how the actor’s life could have turned out if he had succumbed to female charms in his youth. For example, between 1984 and 1991, Robert openly flirted with Sarah Jessica Parker. Their romance lasted three years, but even at that time, all the actor’s acquaintances were sure that sooner or later their relationship could develop into something more. However, everyone was surprised when Deborah Falconer became the first wife of the restless Robert.
