    Biggest and longest applause for anyone I've ever seen. Well-deserved.
  • @AA-qb7ni
    He's coming for that long awaited Oscar next!! About time too!! 🙌🏼
  • @ladymire
    That standing ovation he got was deserved! He’s such a brilliant actor.
  • @metime4325
    During interviews he always seems he is having a conversation with the whole audience. So interactive.
  • @Bjork4s
    This man is almost 60 years old and his energy in interviews is absolutely wonderful to watch. We must protect this man at all cost! I can't help but always smile whenever he goes, such a likeable guy 🤗
  • Whoever picked him for Iron Man is probably still working in Hollywood. Perfect casting. It probably helped Marvel propel itself to where it is now.💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
  • @SS4Luxray
    Proud to say I lived during the reign of RDJ. One of the last true Hollywood movie stars. Hopefully he wins the Oscar.
  • @liminal6823
    RD, Jr. is proof that there is always hope no matter how low you go or bad things get.
  • The fact that he is nearly 60 but still has such energy, confidence, charisma and wit is so commendable. Truly an icon!
  • He deserves the Oscar more than anyone else! That character was so important in Oppenheimer, shaped the entire movie differently and he was absolutely phenomenal in portraying all kinds of emotions.

    I love Robert Downey Jr. I watched him suffer from his addictions for so long. So young, so talented, so much to live for.He gave me so much hope that my son could make it too. Unfortunately, my son passed away from an overdose over Thanksgiving weekend at the age of forty after fighting for twenty years. I think the world of you and wish you much more success. You shine a light, you really do. Love you, live well.
  • At 64, I absolutely agree with him that "youth is wasted on the young." I know he's not the first person to say that but it's so very true...and you don't fully appreciate the truth of it until you're old. ❤❤❤
  • @Bjork4s
    I remember reading an article back in 2020, RDJ said that Christopher Nolan was in his bucket list for filmmakers that he wants to work with someday. Now he's dream came true and gave one of the best performance of his entire career, i'm so proud of him ❤
  • I love how he gives so much respect to actors like Cilian Murphy and Paul McCartney inspite of being as big of a star as them. Great to see how he can identify and acknowledge greatness!
  • one of the only actors who interviews I can watch. just authentic and actually funny. doesn't try to hard
  • @ck-zg9ll
    “Youth is wasted on the young”- what a great line!
  • @luciferlal9755
    Every time I see Robert Downey Jr I go crazy, love and respect this amazing man so much
  • @hii9918
    I was rooting for RDJ to win ever since he signed up for the oppenheimer at the helm of Nolan . Finally, after long time, he won what he deserved for a long time.
  • @janelleortiz9046
    It’s been so nice watching his career grow especially after he was struggling with addiction in the old days. He’s like fine wine.
  • Does anybody else automatically like a guest on Jimmy's show just a little more when they acknowledge Guillermo?
