The crisis
Downey Jr. was at the peak of his career, it would seem that everything in his life is possible, you just need to. But then the actor’s popularity doubled not because of a good movie play. Fame played a cruel joke with a Hollywood star. Robert was addicted to drugs and alcohol, for drunken brawls, penetration into other people's homes, was in prison and was subjected to compulsory treatment. Due to problems with the law, he was fired, one after another, the doors of the film studios were closed, and Downey himself changed his priorities, focusing on a wild life. For drug possession, the court sentenced Robert to imprisonment for 16 months. Due to the problems that arose, the marriage of the actor with Deborah Falconer in 2005, which could no longer tolerate her husband's behavior, fell apart.
Sons of Robert Downey Jr
Despite the fact that the father of Downey Jr. got his son into illegal entertainment, this did not stop Robert himself when his own child was born.
Literally immediately after the dizzying success, Robert gives birth to a son from Deborah's first wife, Indio Falconer. However, his birth did not stop his father from the dependence in which he had been for almost 10 years. The situation was saved by acquaintance with the second wife - Susan Levin, on the set of the film "Gothic". For her sake, he recovered from drug addiction, put himself in order and again began acting in films, restoring his own career from the ashes. In their marriage, the second son of Downey Jr. was born - Exton Elias.
Family life
After rehabilitation, the actor with great zeal began to correct the mistakes of the past. To begin with, he took up the education of his oldest son Indio. He began to spend more time with him, began to be interested in his hobbies, trying to support any direction. In 2005, the son and father even co-starred in the film “Kiss on the Fly”. Since his recovery, there is only one goal for him: the sons of Robert Downey Jr. should not follow in the footsteps of his father. Indio succeeded, he participated in several music groups, and currently plays in the band The Dose. Robert is happy in marriage with his second wife, with whom they are practically inseparable and together raise two children: the son of Exton and not so long ago, the daughter of Aivory. Today, the actor enjoys a family idyll and tries not to remember the dark past.
The oldest son of Robert Downey
Children from their second marriage are still quite crumbs, the eldest barely knocked 3 years, and the youngest daughter is not even two years old.
The sons of Robert Downey Jr. have a rather large age difference, but this does not affect family relationships. Indio's first son is about to turn 23 years old. He bears the
double surname Falconer Downey, lives his own life and tries not to use the fame that he got from his parents. However, the mistakes of his father's youth could not be ignored. Indio, like Robert, was around the same years caught by police with heroin, for which he was arrested. To get his son out of prison, Downey Jr. had to pay a deposit of 10 thousand dollars. But his participation did not end there.
Bitterly recalling his wild life, Robert is desperate to ensure that nothing like this happens to his child. Having been in the shoes of a drug addict, the father knows how to help his son. Now Indio is surrounded by even greater support and care of relatives, and Robert himself is trying to do everything in his power to help his son get out of a difficult situation.
