8:42 mentioning dr. Doom to rdj during the first iron man release is crazy.

8:42 now we see why Downey wanted to play Doom. So he can rub his new helmet at Ross

6:43 "That's wildly inappropriate". You're not wrong, Robert!

"Have you ever smoked a pipe?" - the thoughts that ran though RDJ head were visible in his eyes! You could see him thinking, "Have I been set up here?" - fortunately JR was just being honest, and meant an old fashioned mans smoking pipe.

John talking about Iron Man and Dr. Doom lol. As an actor, I’m grateful for my career, but damn, 43 years old and he’s Iron Man. You can’t look at other people’s careers, I know, but that’s incredible. A lot of people didn’t know who RDJ was, but if you grew up in the ’80s and ’90s, you knew who he was. I was a nerd like that. 😂 There are no more movie stars these days. Everything is different. The whole game has changed. It’s crazy.

Now we know what MCU Tony Stark would say about Batman if he ever was in a crossover with the DC Universe: 2:20

The funny thing is, when Robert tries on the mask at the end he STILL looks like iron man, Ross couldn't pull it off LOL

This was a great interview. No stress, just a jovial conversation.

I was unable to tell whether he was joking around or if he hated the interviewer and felt that the questions were humiliating

We need more entertainment like this… Just two people having a genuine conversation… This was a great video

Almost 20 years ago Ross mentioned Dr. Doom to RDJ and now we are here RDJ playing it 💚🧿.

Excellent. I’m watching this some 18 years ish after the first iron man movie. Robert was born to be Iron Man. No one else could pull that off. Awesome
