Robert Downey Jr. had some revelations during an interview for Oppenheimer. The actor is one of the leading cast members of the Christopher Nolan movie, although, for many, he is still known and loved as Iron Man. His role may be a serious one, but the real him likes to extend his work into his personal life in a fun way.

The American actor may have moved on to playing different roles, but the Marvel superhero remains his most known identity. Perhaps why he and fellow reel world saviors made sure to leave a permanent mark on it, everyone but Mark Ruffalo. Downey Jr. revealed what this mark was and how the Hulk actor refused to be a part.
