5 things of Robert Downey Jr
1. Robert Downey Jr was born in New York City on April 4, 1965.
2. Downey made his earliest feature film appearances in such films as Baby, It's You (1983), Firstborn (1984), Weird Science (1985) and Back to School (1986). From 1985 to '86, he was a regular cast member of Saturday Night Live, NBC's popular sketch-comedy program.
3. Downey's personal life had expanded, too. In May 1992, he married actress Deborah Falconer. Two years later, the couple had a son, Indio, naming friend and actor, Anthony Michael Hall, as the boy's godfather.
4. Since then, Downey's life has significantly turned around. He became a husband again in 2005, when he married actress Susan Levin, whom he'd med two years before on the set of the thriller, Gothika.

5. More recently, Downey co-starred with Jamie Foxx in The Soloist (2009), which tells the story about the friendship between a Los Angeles journalist (Downey) and a homeless Juilliard-trained musician (Foxx). The film registered a respectable showing at the box-office and earned the praise from critics, who lauded Downey and Foxx for their performances.
