Robert Downey Jr is walking proof that you CAN turn your life around. He went from hitchhiking in his pajamas in Marina Del Rey after escaping from rehab in the 90’s, to being the Highest Paid Actor in Hollywood for two years in a row according to Forbes magazine. From 1996 to 2002, Downey was arrested and rehabbed numerous times for drug offenses, and also spent a year in prison. So it’s pretty amazing that he earned 75 million dollars between June 2013, and June 2014, thanks to his Iron Man and Avengers movies. It helps that he’s an extremely likeable guy. When Jimmy Kimmel heard about the Forbes report, he remarked ”He’s come a long way – I remember when he was just the highest actor in Hollywood.”

Yes indeed, because money and lots of it is all that’s important in life.
If you are Jewish and can earn, Hollywood wants you.
LOVE RDJ
thanks to the (future) ladies in his life he won’t need a shrink any longer.
Shows what the love of a good woman can do for a man.
I’ve read on other sites that he is still smoking weed or is that a drug anymore?
His wife deserves all the credit. She has an endless job on her hands.
