  • I do agree that it was so sad that he went through that phase but i am SO happy for him now.. He's doing brilliantly and i love his movies.. Sherlock Holmes, Iron Man, etc.

    Well done.

  • I don't have a care what this mans past was, because before I knew about it, I saw he was a terrific actor and father. I wish to one day meet him

  • I NO FOR A FUCKING FACT I HAVE BIPOLAR BUT NO DAFT CUNT WILL LISTEN LOL

  • He looks like Mike Patton

  • robert is a great and talented actor, dancer, comedian-i am so glad he straightened up!!!!! thanks for posting!!!

  • I don't really care he still rocks!!!

  • I think is really messed up of her to talk to the media about Robert asking her for help that only shows how much of a jerk she really is no working ethic whatsover

  • So what if he took drugs and went to jail ... I still adore him :)

  • im watching this video after trying for about an hour to try to make my hair look like his... lol

  • HELLZ YEAH PERSIAN DOCTOR!!!!!

  • If only Charlie Sheen could make a giant robot in a middle eastern cave...

  • now THIS is WINNING!!!!!!!

  • he was not an addict he was framed look at his acting. look at his attitude and look at his pupils.

  • I dont get it. People are dying everywhere, wars are being fought, and the media focusses on celebrity drug addiction. Props to RDJ though, I freakin LOVE him and think he is amazing. Way to go!!

  • That drug docter women or watever is annoying to me

  • no jail can hold Iron Man

  • i'm so glad he's clean now :)

  • I agree people use drugs to self medicate ... Most of the time.

  • when was this? 2005?

  • Bi Polar is not a disorder. Every human brain has 2 poles. Hence Bi Polar. The connector of the 2 poles is Love. One pole is positive and the other negative. It is essentially good and evil. Love is supposed to balance these 2 poles out but the government decided that Love is not acceptable in society. If you have people that Love each other you can not control them. So the gov't has destroyed our brains by using chemicals to suppress the Love area of the brain.True story. Check it out yourself.

  • @HitlerWasRight2010

    been ready up on the new age crap haven't you?

  • Iron Man Rules!!!!!!!!

  • everybody and I mean everybody has done wrong weather u got caught or u didn't, I would never judge, and everybody learns from there mistakes..I still love RDJ does anybody know how tall he is, cause he seems to get shorter and shorter but God he's still sooooo HOTTTTT!!!!

  • Dr. Nikakhtar is a world renowned psychiatrist and an acknowledged leader in the field of addiction treatment. She is also a published author and runs a medical center in LA. I don't believe she is some quack as some have posted. Look her up on Google if you don't believe it.

  • i'm sure when she told him he had bipolar disorder, and he answered 'yes, i do have bipolar disorder' he didn't really mean it

    i mean look at her , she looks so incompetent. he was probably laughing his ass off when talking to her

    she's a retard

  • @snqg1984 yes:))) he was probably laughing his ass

  • oh god he spent almost 1 year in prison? i thought he always get caught for something easy...

  • I know he's earned a lot of new fans for the Iron Man role, but if you really want to see how deep his range goes, rent " Less Than Zero ". If you can get through it without reaching for a tissue I commend you.

  • was he married already? because I heard his wife supported him so much

  • THE BIG TONY STAR!!!!

  • yeah, I'm a victim of drugs too!

  • how can you diagnose someone without treating them? stupid slag.

  • he's not a criminal, HES a VICTIM!! :)

  • Oh poor guy... HES A VICTIM!!! when he gets aggitated he wastes money on drugs and shopping oh so sad.... meanwhile some other guy same offences gets life. yeah lovely... Dont get me wrong he is a good actor... I mean a real good actor. XD

  • @BlackMambakins Who the hell get's a life in prison just for doing drugs? Anyway i don't wanna really go there as that's a another argument entirely.

    Really though, you can't really know where his problems stem from so i suggest you give the guy a benefit of the doubt.

  • Bo polar, that answers a lot of questions - for many addicts.

  • This is the first ever sensible thing I've heard about drug use. As a former user, I can scream YES! It is not "getting high", it is getting away from something, to change a depressed mood, to for some few hours, to feel normal

  • he should write a book and hand it too every new star that comes out

  • Ever since I saw him in zodiac I loved him.

    He's an amazing actor and he's quite handsome!

  • i have never seen these vids of him in this situation...i know about hes past, but my god what a talented man...i saw due date last night and it was absolutely hilarious...he was wonderful in it and every movie he has done so far is amazing RDJ is a wonderful actor and also very very handsome :D

    no one has this much talent in the industry anymore

    well done! :)

  • @slanova omg scarying...it's exactly the same with me!

    I saw Due Date, thought like omg what an attractive man, than I watched only sherlock holmes and a few interviews and...omg, I have a crush on him ;)

    but to see this vids is shocking...but makes me feel even happier for him.

  • @lovez2eat im just happy that he got out of that dark place in his life and came back to make wonderful movies.... i love every movie he has made so far, going back to Chaplin, that was a stunning performance!

    i have a huge crush on him as well :) he is just adorable and a very funny guy :D

  • @slanova yes, but what actually impressed me the most were his funny and friendly performances in every interview, he's so likeable....oh, and than I saw...emm, heard him singing, he has such a beautiful voice.

    I love his way of singing "every breath you take" on Ally McBeal :)

  • @lovez2eat oh yes absolutely. i even have his album :) his songs are great.

    he is indeed hilarious in his interviews, its actually interesting to watch :)

    what i love most about him is how he is with his wife, i think they are the perfect couple in hollywood, he is sooo in love with her its great :D

  • @slanova okay, I'm really scared right now, cause you're last passage is exactly what I wanted to write, I just decided to write about his singing first :D

    i guess he provokes the same emotions to young, intelligent girls ;D

    i actually even got a bit obsessed with watching his interviews:)

    but i still have one great quality: when he's interviewed together with someone else he likes, he always puts his arm around the person, leans on him etc...

    soo cute ;)

  • @lovez2eat hahaha he is just that special :P he is so perfect i hate it lol i have probably just like u watched every interview of him that i could find :P he is such a funny and genuinely nice guy...lol i did notice the putting his arm around people he likes its cute... my favorite interviews of him are probably the once where he talks about or is with susan they are just perfect and he is always so sweet....

    lol u and i think alike :P RDJ=amazing lol

  • @slanova okay, two maniacs but at least we know it ;D

    yeah, they're probably like the cutest couple ever, i love rdj teasing her a bit and then kissing her as an excuse :)

    i am actually also a big johnny depp fan, but somehow i feel like he's a bit...umm, unapproachable, i mean not in a bad way....but somehow he's just too perfect maybe.

    by the way, is rdj's album good? cause i thought about buying it too

  • @lovez2eat haha yeah...his the only actor that i like this much, other than gerard butler who is absolutely amazing :P and gorgeous. johnny is great, but i do agree he is a bit unapproachable, his kinda out there lol everyone knows that :P but thats wants so special about him

    rdj's album is great, i like it...he has a unique voice...u should get it :D

  • @slanova "kinda out there" yeah thanks that's exactly what i wanted to say :D i mean, i still really like johnny, he's like incredibly handsome and has a great character, but robert is more the guy i could imagine to meet and laugh with.

    gerard butler...well, i don't know, i've never been that interested in him, but if you say it i'm shure he's a nice guy ;)

    um i think i gonna buy the album, i also love his voice :)

  • all of the coke and heroin and pills and alcohol and other random bad shit he was into aside...wouldn't it be great to smoke a joint with this dude?!!

  • why didnt he turn to iron man and flee the scene???????????????

  • @thoj2009 he probably did, and that gave him out :)

  • Dr. Manijeh Nikakhtarrrrr...or what eva ur name is! He was a victim of being privileged! He was insecure because Hollywood did not come knocking on his door in the 90's and he couldn't take it...if anything he was very narcissistic! and the drugs helped him out! Weak as water!

  • Robert Downey Jr. got over his addiction in a cave! With a box of scraps!!

  • @megadeath45 As i read that. Jeff bridges was yelling it... added to my lols.

  • this is old btw

  • Iron man was awesome, but its not that i didn't know who downey was, its that he was on Alley McBeal when i was a kid, so i didnt care about him at all! that show was bad and my parents loved it! BUT... my favorite Downey role was in Natural Born Killers!

  • this guy has the best acting skills

  • @RobertHolik AMEN.

  • He hasn't done a single bad film after getting clean. The best actor working today.

  • @RobertHolik Agreed. Not to mention the outstanding increase in his levels of sexy. (;

  • @RobertHolik How can you say that? Fucking due date doesn't nearly compare to less than zero or Chaplin you fucker.

  • @RobertHolik also fuck you

  • Most of you shit heads DIDN'T EVEN KNOW who Robert Downey Jr. was before Ironman. Yet you dumbfucks are "such huge fans" now.

    LMFAO idiots.

  • @Deltacide1 I happened to be very young when he had his early acting career; in fact, he was in movies before I was born. So how the hell would you have expected me to be a huge fan of him until I had a chance to notice him in something popular? Think before you type, please. You can admire someone and their past/the things they overcame even if you weren't there to witness their past journeys.

  • it shows real strength of character to get through some thing like this

  • I share your pain bro...RDJ you'll always have my heart

  • look at him now he's making big budget movies and clean he's iron man, sherlock holmes and a academy award nominee

  • @ahceda09 Most of you shit heads DIDN'T EVEN KNOW who Robert Downey Jr. was before Ironman. Yet you dumbfucks are "such huge fans" now.

    LMFAO idiots.

  • Also I think if someone has bi-polar disorder, they should control it for their personal success like robert has.

  • @VegasSkateCulture  It is very hard to control. you must not know anyone who has it.

  • @VegasSkateCulture It is very hard to control. you must not know anyone who has it.

  • @bonanza0688

    my dad has it.

    hes a lawyer, and an alcoholic. you should see him when he can't find the remote.

  • @VegasSkateCulture my fiance has it. If he skips his meds just one night... that next day or so is a living nightmare. I cant deal with it sometimes. VERY manic. But most people don't know That everyone is bipolar. You just arent severe

  • Comment removed

  • I am glad he got married and had a kid, great motivation to stay clean!!

  • Great man. Very smexy. Even though I'm in love with him

  • @google1979 you have no idea how stupid you sound when you judge someone like that. Are you his mother?

  • @VegasSkateCulture

    OF COURSE I'M NOT, BUT I BET YOU'RE HIS STUPID BITCH. YOU NEED TO GET A LIFE BY BEING HIS FAN. YOU'RE THE ONE'S WHO DOESN'T HAVE ANY IDEA HOW STUPID YOU ARE BY BEING A FAN OF ANOTHER STUPID PERSON.

  • @google1979 we all haave our downs . so stop sucking off someones past and go have a shity life : )

  • @shaba95 shut your pinnhole! i'm not asking for your opinion, let go of robert downey's dick you queer and eat my shit!

  • iron mannnnnnnnn

  • @Jullianaissobipolar

    You're an idiot. I'm not going to sugar coat it. This happened over ten years ago, and he didn't get into martial arts until several months after he was clean. Robert Downey Jr is ten times the person you'll ever be, and he deserves respect, not your bitchy whining about how you're bipolar and he's not. He was on drugs since he was seven, until he was thirty seven. How dare you call a problem that almost killed him a lie. You should be ashamed of yourself.

  • He is soooooooooo hot.

  • if he's bipolar then why doesn't he go out and get medication? Martial Arts doesn't cure Bipolar does this man know this or did he make it up for sympathy cause I'm sick of celebrities faking disorders as an excuse when there are real people (like me) with a disorder such as bipolar that don't fake it.

  • @Juliannaissobipolar You should get a life and get help if it bothers you so much to be Bi-polar.

  • LOL. Robert looks sexy even in his mug shots.!!! XD

  • @azraelromance haha. seriously!! when that's true, you KNOW the person is good looking. :)

  • @azraelromance

    lmao ya he is!

  • I know them orange jumpsuits. Just gotta do the time and turn it around.

  • Does someone know which drugs he used in particular? Not just alcohol I assume??

  • Aw, poor boy. :(

    Well at least now he turned his life around, got better, and is now happier than ever.

  • Comment removed

  • oh my gosh!i have ALWAYS avoid this vid but now i've decided 2 watch it n oh my goodness!i've seen his amazin comeback movies but didnt no about this drug addcitiont hign since the beginning of this yr!

  • I love him. Jail saved his life--I'm so glad he came out of everything in one piece, because I too thought he would be dead before 30. I'm so sorry about all he's been through. I feel his own father is responsible for all of it by giving him drugs at the age of 7--he thought it was funny to see Robert stoned on pot. ASSHOLE! How SICK is that? RDJ didn't have a chance. God bless him--he's truly beautiful and I'm so proud of him for getting sober. I'm so glad he's finally found real happiness. :)

  • @LizzieSparrow2 aww that made me cry

  • hottest mugshot ever

  • The Woman say the word 'Drugs' very often `? She get on my nervs with that -.-*

  • 我们的大叔

  • robert downey jr and joaquin phoenix is my favorite actors of all time :)

  • hes soo much better now and im proud

  • Baby that's a blessing that he is out of those times. I love him as a man he took the step, and got help. I am very proud of him for being him.

  • I believe that he really was a victim...Now i want to believe that he is clean, he is like a clean person, he say that he is clean and really i believe him...Everybody deserve a second chance and they need help...I love robert downey junior i want to tell him that: Don't waste your life again you deserve something better and many people around the world ''love you''...

  • aww, robert. poor robert. i love you even more now<33333.

  • This shows he's a good man.

  • course he doesnt wanna go to a drug test hes robert downey jr he doesnt wanna pee in a cup! and that cup doesnt deserve his pee.. haha :D Love RDJ! <3

    but happy cause he had the determination to stop, and reverse it :)

  • TONY STARKS!!!!!

  • [bird singing] cuckoo, cuckoo

  • He's fucking Robert Downey Jr...He can do whatever the hell he wants. ! Lol

  • the bad times :(, but he took the correct way !! and we can see him again doing a great job!!!

  • Im soooo glad he got himself sorted out! He is soooo talented!!!!! One of the best actors going

  • IRON MAN!

  • @HogwartsCastle I think it's like, a bitter kind of smile.

    Mind, in the mugshots he was arrested for having drugs with him, so it's a good wager that he was high when it was taken.

  • RDJ is LEGIT! He seems really content and happy these days and he's more successful in his career than ever. Just goes to show you, it's never too late to turn it all around. Respect!

  • an inspiration what else is there to say!!

  • i love him so much.

  • me too

  • he's the best

  • I'm so glad that he's clean now because I really enjoy watching his movies he's one of the best actors in the world!!!

    <3 RDJ

  • Pobre.. :(

    Lo amo♥

  • Words cannot explain how much I respect this man. Can't even come close.

  • hardly any actors these days have his acting skills and willpower to get over this issue of drugs and alcohol, you have to feel happy for him

  • @TheAimmzy didnt he also get arressted for a gun charge

  • honestly, u can't help but be proud of him for not only getting over his own personal demons, but also for showing everyone no matter how far you've gone you can always turn around

  • He's gone above and beyond this now. :) GOOD FOR HIM!

  • it's so sad watching this shit, thank god he's been clean for so long now.

  • It's good how he's managed to get away from this stuff now. I hope he managed to keep clean.

  • haa he is badass love him

  • Dobrze, że udało mu się wyjść z tego cholernego nałogu

  • though it sounds hard i think jail for a year helped him to wake up, Im happy to see that he took his many chances and actually turned it around alot of ppl cant

  • it is cool seeing how this guy has turned everything around to become one of the best actors in movies right now.

  • I don't know who to thank for helping RDJ. Probably himself. But the world is a better place because he's in it.

  • robert is da man, just leave it all behind and don't look back

  • Poor guy. I'm so glad this is behind him, and he seems to be doing so much better.

  • I am crying as I am watching this.

    Honestly, I am SO glad he is back on his feet again.

    He is a wonderful actor and a very sweet human being.

  • dont be a pussy

  • Wow, really?

    I just have strong feelings for the guy. He went through hell.

    and you, my friend are a dick

    grow the fuck up.

  • Everyone should watch the documentary: American Drug War: The Last White Hope. You will see how the CIA, FBI and US Military and your local police SHIP IN the drugs from outside the country.

    Yes, our government is IMPORTING street drugs. Why? Because just like Robert Downey Jr, they want you HOOKED and IN JAIL so they can make money off of you through the court system and jail system. That way they can continue this "War on Drugs" which gets BILLIONS of dollars. Its all about MONEY and CONTROL

  • bi-polar.

  • <3 robbert

  • Even Though He Went thorugh a hard time in his life, he is still the best man ever!! Me, personally, I like the bad boys better1

  • This lady RULES!!!!!!

  • Welcome back Robert! :)

  • Yeah no doubt thats the past he looks great now and doing well. cheers man! i grew up watching guy... be well stay strong RDJ.

  • I find it' really sad to see a so good actor and person (in his feelings and interviews , cause I don't know his "real personnality") but it's sad to see him with this horrible orange uniform and handcuff... hopefully now it's past!

  • bipolar disorder.

  • he shoula got paris hilton's lawyer

  • why does he need to wear cuffs?

    I mean... it's not like he's gonna stab anybody

  • Unfortunately the field of Medicine/psychiatry is not doing the job in the right way. We see almost every week a celebrity dies of drug use or abuse of pain killers. It doesn't matter if the person is a celebrity or not, but since people are familiar with them, they may get more awareness of the danger of self medicating.

  • I totally agree with you, it's also a social/moral problem that needs to be addressed as a pyschological problem, but because of the view our society takes on self medication it is addressed by the legal system and therefore people (celebrities and those not in the limelight alike) do not get the pychiatric help they need and many lives are destroyed & even ended because of this.

  • A lot of these creative "creatures" turn to drugs because of their natural ability to disseminate. They can't help it, and thus, we label - manic depressive, etc. I believe that an artist has a VERY wide "scope" of human qualities, mostly those of emotion that reach too deep that the average "one" cannot relate; but does respect, whence seen, and then opinions. There are those that are artists, and those that are not. EIther you "get it" or you don't. I live with one, and have learned to so.

  • Yeah, these creative types tend to be SUPER sensitive/emotional and what really impacts them might not faze the average person... So the "ordinary" public finds it weird and judges them.

  • why do people feel they have to keep bringing up his past...move on he has

  • well im glad hes better now =D

  • me too, I luv him so much

  • robert was never a criminal and

    i'm glad dat he's alive

    and i'm very very glad dat he stopped taking drugs he's not a bad guy.

    he has a wife,susan and he has a son indio

    he can't live without them he luvs them both so much,

    and by da way he does kung fu which its good.

  • at least he can console himself knowing that he made more off iron man then you probably will in your entire life

  • Yeah... he did go to prison. He did his time. Now he's clean and I love him for that. He's a success story to getting off of drugs.

    I think his wife has like 75% to do with that too.

  • I think it's amazing how he has managed to overcome his past like that, and now he can laugh at himself during interviews and stuff.

    He's such a talented actor and a genuinley funny guy - he's an inspiration.
