There's just something about him that's so hot... I think it's the way he seems so confident to be who he is. And that's sexy. I've had a big crush on him since I saw him in Only You. Anyone see that? Actually, the first movie I saw him in was Heart and Souls. But I didn't really notice him in a very special way until Only You.

For years, it seemed like the only person not rooting for Downey was himself. But with ''Iron Man'' and ''Tropic Thunder,'' he engineered one of the coolest comebacks ever. Join us as Hollywood's most exciting new superhero tries to make sense of it all
There are enough organic potions and natural remedies on Robert Downey Jr.'s coffee table to stock an aisle at Whole Foods. Shriveled, rooty-looking things in Ziploc bags. Jars filled with herbal pills as big as bullets. He's sitting cross-legged on the floor next to all of these unusual items in the living room of the London townhouse he's been renting while shooting his latest movie, an elementary detective story called Sherlock Holmes. It's 2 o'clock in the afternoon, but with his hair in full bedhead bloom, Downey looks like he could use a pick-me-up. He reaches for a bottle and shakes a dozen gelcaps into his palm, then stuffs them into his mouth. ''Brain formula,'' he mumbles as he gulps them down.
They must be working. This year, thanks to a series of clever choices, Downey has pulled off one of the smartest second acts in recent showbiz history. After doing just about everything humanly possible to destroy a once-promising career — including spending the better part of a decade in courtrooms and even jail cells — he's finally fulfilling his potential. He's become a movie star. At 43. For starters, he's at the red-hot center of a humongous new action franchise, Iron Man, which has grossed more than half a billion dollars worldwide since opening last May. He followed that in August by doing something few actors have dared since Jolson — blackface — in the Ben Stiller comedy Tropic Thunder, which grossed $110 million. Next spring, he'll be costarring with Jamie Foxx in The Soloist, Atonement director Joe Wright's drama about a journalist who befriends a homeless musical genius he finds pushing a shopping cart around L.A. (Downey's performance was starting to generate Oscar buzz — the most since his nomination for Chaplin in 1993 — but then The Soloist was moved from its November release date to next April.) And now, here in London, there's Warner Bros.' latest franchise launch Sherlock Holmes — directed by that Guy getting divorced from Madonna — which Downey just started shooting two weeks ago.
Robert Downey Jr's Masturbation Obsessionhttp://www.entertainmentwise.com/news/45075/robert-downey-jrs-masturbation-obsession (http://www.entertainmentwise.com/news/45075/robert-downey-jrs-masturbation-obsession)
'Hello, my name's Robert and I'm a compulsive w*nker'.
Robert Downey Jr has revealed that drugs and alcohol are not the only addictions he's battled in the past – he used to abuse his penis too. The actor – who has been married to movie producer Susan Levin since 2005 – admits that he used to be a “compulsive masturbator.” "I was a compulsive, serial masturbator,’ he tells The Sunday Times. "But it was the best thing I could have been. I utilised that organ and rode it for everything it was worth." Luckily for RDJ and film fans, he has since outgrown the habit. But he still reckons all men are driven by sex. "It’s no longer a motivating factor for me. My union with Susan is sacred," he says. "Almost always, guys want to get laid. They have a girlfriend, they want to f*** her friend. But I’m not that guy."
Have some RDJ singing. HOT STUFF.RDJ singing not enough for you?
