Robert Downey Jr. sat down for this month’s issue of Esquire to chat about family and success.
Robert shares about wanting to have children:
“The big unspoken thing here is that we intend to have a family… Hell, yeah. Speaking of artifacts. The ultimate artifact of our love. In a onesie.
He enjoys making a lot of money for other people but fears he might wear out his welcome. I highly doubt that. 
“I love being a part of something that makes other people a bunch of dough. And I don’t need to make nothing but big movies. In fact, if anything I’m probably in danger of wearing out my welcome.”
He shared a little about getting a new start in the business.
“I hit my stride later than most folks. A couple years ago, it really was a big old hip-hip-hooray and let’s get somethin’ shakin’ here. Then pfffffff – it reorganized at this higher level, and now there’s more to manage, and more opportunity. And then there’s nothing except the question of pacing – because I can go fast like this for a little while or I can start pacing it down and get where I’m actually supposed to be heading – and it’s really, really elusive.”
He certainly knows how to put a positive spin on things. Robert has 2 huge movies coming up: Sherlock Holmes and Iron Man 2. Are you a fan? Do you plan to see either movie?

i’ll probably watch iron man 2 :p
I love, love, love this man!
He’s always been a good actor, but the last few years, he’s been exceptional! And he’s so likable
He’s the posterboy for comeback kids! And I loooooove the quote about the onesie! awww!
i loved the onesie comment too Awwww
I’m so happy he got his life back together.
I haven’t seen much of his newer stuff, just the soloist, but i had such an obsession with him as a kid that it doesn’t matter what he does, he’ll never do anything wrong in my eyes
Maybe it’s better i don’t watch the new films so he can stay as my childhood semi-god in my memories, lol. Ironman wouldn’t prolly be my kind of movie anyways.
I have always loved Robert. So I would go see him in any movie he makes. He is just an exceptional actor with rare talents and gifts. He never disappoints me. I can’t wait to see Sherlock Holmes or Iron Man 2. ( I definently can’t wait to see pictures of his and Susans’ artifact of love in a onesie! Now that is going to be one beautiful baby! I hope they have a few together not just one. I believe he would be a great dad).
Same here!
I adore Robert Downey Jr and I’ll see anything he’s in!!
