Robert Downey Jr. was not first choice to star in ‘Iron Man’.

 


Robert Downey Jr. was not first choice to star in ‘Iron Man’.

The 43-year-old actor had to beg the film’s director Jon Favreau to give him
the lead role of billionaire weapons developer Tony Stark in the Hollywood
blockbuster.
He said: “I thought I would be perfect for the part. But they weren’t
necessarily thinking of me right away.
“Jon Favreau said, ‘Look, it’s probably not going to happen.’ And I said,
‘Well listen, I’m not going to give up.’ Which is quite unlike me. Usually
I’d be like, ‘I don’t want to embarrass myself.’ ”
The superhero film, which also stars Jeff Bridges, Terrence Howard and
Gwyneth Paltrow, has taken a massive $214 million at the box office since
its worldwide release on April 30, prompting Marvel Studios to announce a
sequel for 2010.
