Even though Robert Downey Jr. welcomed a baby girl this week, the Iron Man icon has recently been expressing some views that are likely to make even the most forgiving of feminists cringe.
The first incident occurred while RDJ was discussing the possibility of Scarlett Johansson appearing in her own Avengers spinoff film during a panel discussion at Cambridge University.
Asked if he "believe[s] in feminism," Downey replied, "You bastard. Yeah, that's all make believe, son."
Tough to read that response. Downey's a sarcastic chap and he could've just been having fun with the college kid crowd.
The other incident, however, leaves little room for interpretation:
British television personality Lorraine Kelly claims that prior to a recent interview with Downey, the actor "blurted out, 'Nice tits.'"
Kelly says she was shocked at first, but she proceeded with the interview and took the comment in stride:
"It could have been worse," she said in a recent interview. "He could have said, 'Oh, I don't like them!' It's a difficult thing to respond to."
Yes, whether Downey is photobombing fans or complimenting the breasts of a revered British journalist, he's got a Tony Stark-like ability to say things that would get most men smacked and get a smile in response instead.
Whether or not he should say things like that, well...that's a different story.
Hopefully he doesn't try that crap with Gwyneth Paltrow on the Iron Man set. She seems like the type who would cut him with a handcrafted, fair trade Burmese switchblade without a second thought.
The former Marky Mark earned $32 million in the past year, thanks to roles in films like Lone Survivor and Pain & Gain.
