If I had to give Robert Downey Jr. a Hollywood nickname it would be "enigma" because he has been a puzzling and contradictory force. By now everyone knows the story of his professional ascent (nominated for Oscars and such) and descent (arrests, a lot of booze, drugs, etc.). And while his talent has never been disputed, his personal antics have left many wondering if he would ever truly fulfill his enormous potential, or if his self-destructive tendencies would sabotage his work.
And then came Summer 2008. Iron Man was a huge hit and he's earning good reviews for his comedic, slightly controversial role in Tropic Thunder, out this week. So, in honor of RDJ's return to grace, I challenge you to a quiz!

Love RDJ, although I did, in fact, watch Two Girls and A Guy...and I want my two hours back.
1The first movie I watched him in was Less Than Zero. A friend of mine in high school was obsessed with that movie. Such a depressing movie. To this day, I still can't watch it.
2Love this guy... he is true to himself, even if that´s not always good.
3Haha obviously I don't know anything about Robert Downey Jr.... Fail! hehehe.
40/9! Beat it! I obviously know NOTHING about Robert Downey Jr other than the fact that "Chaplin" was filmed in my hometown and RDJ was in it.
5Love this guy! And I find him undeniably sexy too haha
65/9. I loved RDJ's album, the song "Broken" is my favorite track. He is a wonderful singer/songwriter; mellow yet meaningful songs.
7I love this man!!!
8I have RDJ's album too leeluvfashion, and "Broken" is also my favorite track!
99/9! I think he's absolutely amazing and am a tad obsessive about following his career but even I was surprised I knew that last one!
Thanks so much for devoting a quiz to RDJ...he's fascinating and your description of him as an enigma is bang on.
Also...I think his role in the music video for "I Want Love" is one of the most amazing 4 minutes (or so) of just raw acting I've ever seen.
10shoot, 6/9 , missed last 3
115 outta 9..eh...not bad.
129/9 - YEAH!!
139/9.
14I love him so much... Chaplin, Soapdish, etc.
15Woohoo! 9/9! Love that guy!
16One of my faves. Bringing up SJP-- hmmm-- wonder who she'll date when she is over her divorce? Not RDJ, obviously since he is taken. It's odd to think they used to be together -- and for so many years.
179/9 Love him...absolutely one of the most talented actors around even despite all his personal battles. Ridiculously good-looking too! ;o)
