Reason no. 215 to like Robert Downey, Jr.

Robert Downey Jr is Iron Man

Robert Downey, Jr. might be one of Hollywood’s best spoken celebrities. It’s not a tough contest, true, but he seems to be saying all the right things lately.

Case in point: his response to protesters picketing his new film, “Tropic Thunder,” for insulting people with disabilities. (source: imdb.com)

“That’s the great thing, you know, if I want to protest something because it offends me that’s my right as an American and it’s also any artist’s right to say and do whatever they want to do.”

Please stay sober … and keep on making movies.
