Considering actor
Robert Downey, Jr. (RDJ) has two Academy Award nominations under his belt, his recent comments about
Iron Man 2 should be thought of as highly complimentary to comic book movie fans:
"It's mind-blowing to me because I'd always felt like I wanted to - and could - do something like this. I have probably taken Iron Man 2
more seriously than any other movie I've ever done, which is appropriately ridiculous for Hollywood."
RDJ admitted that he helped himself to a bit of coolness from the set of his superhero flicks:
"I have an Iron Man head at home and various other bits downstairs but my home isn't a shrine to Iron Man
. But I think it's cool."
RDJ went on to say that he's still waiting for his request for a full suit of armor to be granted:
"The producers keep telling me that they're going to give me a suit with all the bells and whistles but I still don't have it. I don't know, maybe I should get it in my contract. It would be great to have one at home - a talking point."
