Robert Downey Jr's movie miracle
Monday, 3 August 2009
Robert Downey Jr. says 'Iron Man 2' is a "miraculous" movie.
The Hollywood actor said working on Jon Favreau's movie was "mind-blowing" because of the way the franchise has changed perceptions of him , even if he is the only person to think so.
He explained: "Am I surprised it's changed people's perceptions of my acting? It's pretty miraculous. But, in the realm of miracles, I think it's probably a two or three because it's a movie industry thing. Nonetheless, it's mind-blowing to me because I'd always felt like I wanted to and could do something like this. It's wild."
The 44-year-old star - who plays inventor Tony Stark and his title character alter ego in the comic book film franchise and co-wrote the script - found the sequel "trying" because of the pressure to match the success of the first.
He explained: "The confidence was higher, but fun was not necessarily the word I would use to describe it. We felt more responsible to spend more time, and we had broadened our cast and horizons, and the story is actually significantly more complex and subtle - while you can still follow it. I don't want to say that it was as fun. It flew by, which was also odd, because we felt every punch, moment, laugh and everything last time. It was a really, really, really trying process to get this done to the best of our ability."
