His dad makes me sick and Downey not getting any kind of apology in the documentary Sr made me so angry. Iām so glad Downey got through this. It wasnāt his fault. Wish this video mentioned Susan but other than that pretty good info!

This is why RDJ love Johnny Depp they were close friends and Johnny was aways there for him as he was during that Amber Turd witch hunt. I hope to see them in a movies together someday. They are getting really old after all.

Robert Downey, Jr has a net worth of $300 million. Nice guy, but really? There are people that can't afford $500 to save their beloved pet, or buy food.
