Robert Downey Jr is one of the most sought after and highest paid actors in Hollywood. He is known by the whole world, especially for such a role as Iron Man from the film of the same name, shot based on the Marvel comics. In this article, we will not disclose the entire background of the famous and brutal actor, but only about his family and children.
Who is Robert Downey Jr?
First of all, this is the adopted son of the famous independent director Robert Downey Sr. Thanks to his father, although not hard-earned, the boy was able to go on a creative path and already in five years starred in his first film.
Stepfather raised Robert from early childhood, and therefore was able to instill in him a love of art. Moreover, the boy really had potential and talent, which only needed to be developed. Robert Downey Jr is an actor with a capital letter, who was not afraid to leave behind high school and began an acting career, which subsequently made him the richest and most sought-after actor in the film industry. Now it remains to be wondered whether all the children of Robert Downey Jr. can choose the path that their father mastered?
The family and wives of a brilliant actor
Robert Downey Jr. has been married twice in his entire life, not counting the fleeting novels that are so popular among Hollywood actors. The first marriage was made with Deborah Falconer, from whom the son of Indio Falconer Downey was born to the actor. Despite their strong marriage and a fairly long relationship, Robert and Deborah officially divorced in 2001.
Two years later, the actor met another no less remarkable actress, who later became his new wife and mother of two children. Susan Downey became the wife of the actor in 2005 and gave birth to an Exton boy, Elias Downey, and a girl, Aivry Roel Downey.
Indio Falconer: hobbies, problems with the law
The children of Robert Downey Jr. stand out from the crowd from early childhood. Indio Falconer was endowed with the charisma of his father and inherited the same acting talent. Being a 12-year-old boy, Indio first starred in the 2005 film “A Kiss Through”.
Later, the child found his way and joined the band The Jack Bambies. Despite his pretty appearance, Indio, in his 20s, has already been in a prison cell. The yellow press qualifies the act of the "golden" child, only as a predisposition to adventure and problems with the law, which he inherited from his father.
Until 2015, the name Indio Falconer was discussed with great intensity, because the eldest son of Robert Downey Jr. was repeatedly arrested by law enforcement officers for the possession and use of cocaine.
Born Indio in 1993 (September 7). Despite the fact that the marriage of Robert and Deborah broke up at the beginning of the XXI century, the star son was never deprived of attention from his father. Paparazzi repeatedly recorded a joint pastime of Robert and Indio.
Exton Elias: the child who saved the marriage
The second son of Robert Downey Jr. was born in 2012 (February 7). Despite the fact that the marriage was concluded in 2005, all this time Robert was undergoing treatment, and then rehabilitation from alcohol and drug addiction. All fans know that the actor has always been an eccentric person who loves adventure, which is why he often had problems with law enforcement agencies.
Thanks to his second wife and the birth of his son, Robert was able to pacify his ardor and become an almost ordinary family man who still continues to delight his fans with confident and vivid roles.
Aivry Roel: the long-awaited girl in the Downey family
If Robert Downey Jr. spoke about each son in various interviews, then after the birth of his daughter in 2014 (November 4), the actor independently posted dozens of posts on all social networks to share the happy news. Now on the Internet you can find only brief information about the youngest children of the Downey family, but the true fans of the Hollywood actor are sure that in the future they will have the same charisma as their father.
Facts from the life of an actor
The yellow press still wonders how the life of an actor could have turned if he had succumbed to female charms in his youth. For example, from 1984 to 1991, Robert openly flirted with Sarah Jessica Parker. Their romance lasted three years, but even at that time, all the friends of the actor were sure that sooner or later their relationship could develop into something more. However, everyone was surprised when the first wife of the restless Robert was Deborah Falconer.
Now it remains only to speculate how the second son of Robert Downey Jr., Exton, will behave and whether they and Aivry will inherit those character traits of his father that repeatedly brought him to court and into custody. But all fans of Robert are sure that thanks to the new wave of popularity, which, perhaps, saved the actor from harmful and harmful habits, younger children will not face the fate of their father. This does not apply to the oldest son Indio, who still does not deny that his lifestyle was completely copied and taken from Robert Downey Jr.
