His work as Iron Man is already quite legendary and people are eagerly waiting for him to be back inAvengers: Secret Warsin some capacity. It is known that RDJ has had a troublesome background growing up, and his long-acting career didn’t really take off until he was cast in and asIron Man. But even when he was cast for the role, it was considered a risky move. From being a questionable casting choice to becoming synonymous with Tony Stark, Downey did something that’s totally commendable. But there are certain facts about him that all his die-hard fans should know.
It is known that he wasn’t the first choice forIron Manas Tom Cruise was in contention. But even Tom Cruise agreed that Downey Jr. was born to be Tony Stark. Besides that, you’d probably even know that Downey practices martial arts to lead a healthy lifestyle.

Here, watch her old interview during the press tour ofIron Man 3:
Downey Jr. comes off as kinda insecure over here, but you’d understand his sentiment as he obviously isn’t the tallest in the room. He wasn’t trying to put Gwyneth Paltrow down, but he was trying to elevate his own character. Robert Downey Jr. stands 5′ 8″ tall. But we’ve picked several instances where Tony Stark was shown to be as tall as Steve Rogers and sometimes as tall as Thor too. This made sense because even in the animated space, Tony Stark has been shown to be a relatively tall guy.
