Robert Downey Jr.

Date: April 23, 2010
Location: Four Seasons Hotel, Beverly Hills, California

The energy inside the Four Seasons press room was chaotic, packed wall-to-wall with flashing cameras, rolling tape, and the staff behind the camera. Sitting right beside Robert, you could practically feel the high-octane charisma radiating off him. He looked incredibly sharp—sporting a crisp white dress shirt, a loosened patterned tie, and tinted glasses, leaning back comfortably in his chair while an imposing, life-sized Iron Man Mark IV statue towers directly behind him.

The film's massive promotional banner stretched across the stage backdrop, framing the two of you perfectly as co-stars.

An interviewer in the front of you started the interview.

"This question is for both of you. Given the massive anticipation for the sequel, how has the dynamic changed on set between your characters this time around, and what was it like balancing the heavily improvised script together?"

Robert subtly rested his chin on his knuckles, his signature eccentric smile tugging at the corners of his lips. He didn't look at the reporter; instead, he shifted his gaze over to you, his eyes glinting behind his purple-tinted lenses with playful mischief.

"Go ahead, star."

He murmured in a low, teasing undertone meant just for you, nudging your elbow slightly with his own.

"Tell 'em how much of a handful I am before I completely hijack the interviewer."
