I know you’ve been all around the world promoting ‘Iron Man 3,’ how has that been?
Robert Downey Jr: I’m still kind of reeling from this ‘Iron Man 3’ world tour, going to Korea, China, Russia, Germnay, France, England. The fans are what’s driving the success of these movies, and it’s amazing to see how stoked people are, all around the world. There’d be a massive amount of people turning up to these events and I’ve being seeing all of these faces, kind of connecting in this odd way with all these other human beings where I’m kind of participating in their enjoyment of this spectacle, you know? It was awesome. We were travelling a lot and doing quick turnarounds, getting ready to do the next thing. So it can be stressful, but it’s a part of the job. But I also got to do stuff I hadn’t done before. I got to go to Moscow, go to this cool Museum, we went to the Forbidden City… and I got to wear some lederhosen in Munich (laughs). I got to kind of connect with my own lineage and aspects of my own DNA. Its been wild.
