Downey!

Eric showed me a pic he took of RDJ in Indo's Esquire magazine. Of course, the next thing I did was to Google "Downey Esquire" in the hopes that I would find an article that they translated. From the pic it seems like they're saying that someone is actually a better actor than Mr. Downey. I just want to know who it is and what the article says about him.

[Esquire March 2007]

The first link Google gave me was from 2007, before he started filming Iron Man. It was a great article to read. Very honest and extensive. He talks about everything and anything that comes to his mind. He talks about Susan, as he always does, and it just shows that he's just hopelessly in love with her. Throughout the interview, which spans over 2 days if I read it correctly, he showed his quick wit and charm, and also why I can't get over how adorable he is.

The first time I spoke with Downey was on the phone a couple days before I flew to L. A. "This is little Bobby Downey," he said by way of introduction, ...

And apparently, there are a bunch of Downey quotations that had to be left out of the article.

[Esquire December 2009]

The same author goes back to Downey for another cover story for the magazine, this time after the unbelievable couple years he's had, with the success of Iron Man and Tropic Thunder, for which Robert was nominated for an Academy Award. His second cover, in December 2009, Downey has worked on Iron Man 2 and Sherlock Holmes, and was in a meeting to talk about the possibility of a sequel to Holmes.

Again, the interview was very candid and interesting. He talks about his successes and how life has been going on for him. He's always said in other interviews, too, that "contrary to popular belief, [he's] almost always broke." He reflected back on those days, and how much has changed now with the commercial success of Iron Man. The article stated how RDJ had just moved into a new house, with the money he earned from the comic book flick. The author described how nice the house is, and wondered if Downey is now set for life, money-wise.

The article ended with how Robert wants children with his wife, Susan. But with his schedule in the next few years with the Iron Man and Sherlock Holmes franchises, and Mrs. Downey is also doing her thing producing movies, it might be a while before they actually have kids.
