While we’ve had fantasies about how we would interact with the affably handsome Robert Downey Jr. were we ever to run into him, one lucky Crushable reader actually did meet the Iron Man, and was very pleased to report how surprisingly nice of a guy he was.
On her blog, reader Katie reveals that RDJ visited her work, “to hang out with kids who have cancer” while he was promoting Iron Man 2, and she was surprised with how it all went down. She penned a letter to him of sorts:
“Surprisingly, you stayed for over an hour and made sure each kid got a pic, signature, and personal interaction with the real Iron Man…The staff wouldn’t admit it, but we were hanging around hoping we might get a chance to chat with you as well. Your handler lady said, ‘Let’s get one group staff picture.’ You weren’t having that. You said in your most authoritative Tony Stark voice, ‘Now let me tell you how this is going to go. I want an individual picture with each and every one of you. Let’s start a line and I’m going to begin with you (me!).’ You asked me my name and I managed to say it and you said, ‘It’s nice to meet you, Katie.’”
