Robert Downey Jr is the enfante terrible of Hollywood. The extremely talented actor is also one of the most controversial actors in Hollywood due to his frequent arrests on drug-related charges. But he exhibits none of the quirkiness associated with him and is surprisingly pro Bollywood’s naach-gaana.

The Iron Man star says he’s seen “quite a few” Bollywoood movies and all of them are fantastic. “Bollywood films are fantastic.  The kind of diversity and vibrancy they bring to the screen is phenomenal!” he says excitedly. We inform him that a lot of Hollywood actors have previously referred to Bollywood masala flicks as ‘unrealistic’ due to their song and dance routines.

Downey refuses to agree and says that’s the USP of Bollywood.
“Not at all, I love musicals and Bollywood films are about catchy and vibrant dance numbers which I believe is the prime USP!” Then comes the revelation that Downey wants to do a jig to one of those Bollywood numbers. “I would love to do one (a Bollywood film) since I could get to shake my leg in one of those catchy dance numbers!” Though Downey has managed to stay clean for a long time now,  he admits that he still loves to break rules.

“I start every day thinking here’s what will happen if you do it by the book and here’s what can happen if you bend yourself over backwards and forwards again and try to invite the unimagined into the situation.”  Talking about his latest screen character Peter in an upcoming ‘bromance’, Downey says that he is a lot like him — edgy, controlling, a judgmental guy with some anger-management issues.

“Peter is high-strung as he is normally. He is facing the birth of his first child and is thrown into this nightmare, so it’s all amped up. If there really was somebody like Ethan (his on-screen pal) around, he’d have been strangled in his sleep long ago. I’m sure a lot of people know someone like this, someone who is perfectly wired to activate all of their irritation buttons,” Downey ends.
