Robert Downey Jr facts: Age, wife, children and net worth—
Robert Downey Jr is an American actor, producer and singer. Downey is probably most widely recognized today for his role as Iron Man in the Marvel franchise of the same name. The role made him one of the highest-paid actors in the history of Hollywood.
Robert Downey Jr. has had some incredible ups and downs in both his personal and professional lives. Always recognized as a brilliant actor, he also had a penchant for partying too hard, and a nasty habit of drinking and/or drugging himself into a stupor.

The last ten years have seen him shoot to the top of the A-list in Hollywood, appearing in such hit projects as the “Sherlock Holmes” franchise, the “Iron Man” franchise, “The Soloist”, “Tropic Thunder”, the surprise independent hit, “A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints”, and “Kiss Kiss Bang,Bang”, among many others.
Downey has been recognized for his contribution to cinema with awards like Golden Globe, BAFTA and Emmy. He is also the co-owner of the production company ‘Team Downey’, with his wife.

The pair first got together when Robert was starring in Gothika alongside Halle Berry. Susan (then Susan Levin) was producing the film through her job with production company Silver Pictures.
At first, Susan wasn’t too sure about Robert, in part because she didn’t want to date the star of one of the movies she was working on, but also because — as she told The Hollywood Reporter in 2014 — she found him “interesting but weird.”
But soon enough, the producer agreed to a date with the actor, and things took off from there. Within a few months, the pair were engaged and two years later, they said, ‘I do.’
