After making his acting debut within the 1970 comedy film Pound, Hollywood actor Robert Downey Jr. went on to star in several movies within the Eighties, followed by Richard Attenborough’s 1992 biographical comedy-drama Chaplin. That film earned him the Best Actor BAFTA Award. But he became a household name globally after he was offered the role of the genius billionaire turned superhero, Tony Stark, in the primary MCU film, Iron Man (2008).
The Jon Favreau-directed film was a critically and commercially successful enterprise. Since then, there was no looking back for him. After Iron Man’s success, he starred in multiple blockbusters and later won an Oscar for his impactful performance in Christopher Nolan’s 2023 film Oppenheimer.
