18-month-old Jaxson Denno burst into tears when he met Robert Downey Jr. while he was filming in Massachusetts. Not from the pure ecstasy of meeting RDJ, but from the bitter disappointment when he found out Robert Downey Jr. is not really Iron Man and Iron Man does not exist in real life. Further proof that RDJ is a monster, a crusher of souls!
What a jerk! Probably stole the kid’s candy, too.
Yea and he spat it out immediately because he hated it. Hence the expression.
That’s because they’re connected.
I think the kid was more scared of the paparazzo. RDJ looks annoyed with the photographer while trying to comfort the kid.
I think the paparazzi in this case was his mom.
This article is bullcrap pure and simple. There’s no way in hell you’re going to make me believe an 18-month-old kid can make the connection between a costumed character like Iron Man (or Spiderman, or Batman, or Super Duper Man) and the actor who plays him. It’s more likely a case of a strange man in this kid’s face, and the kid reacts in the normal manner.
