Weekend Question

(I'll get back to the either/or questions next week. But I've been pondering this one for a while and I've just gotta know)

What is the enduring appeal of Robert Downey, Jr.?

Is this a trick question?

No, it's not a trick question. Think about it--he's had so many problems with drugs, been in jail and rehab multiple times, and yet his career hasn't suffered, and fans still like him. Other actors have had their careers killed for much less, so why not him?

Not that I'm suggesting that his career should be over (just the opposite actually--I'm one of those people who absolutely adore him); I'm just wondering how he managed to escape it.

Is there an appeal to him?

Because he looks soooo sweet and innocent, and you just wanna run your fingers through his hair.... And then he smiles that cheeky grin of his, and you just know he's one naughty boy in the sack.

Not that I'd know personally. Unfortunately, I've never had that joy. That's just what I think of him every time I see him.

Yup Soo, that's pretty much what I thought. (And is it just me, or does Charlie Sheen fall into that category too?)

I don't think Robert Downey Jr. has ever achieved a level of success to make his fall all that appealing to the masses. He just seems to be a nice guy who keeps messing up and when he does he picks himself back up and keeps plugging away. He's kind of a hero figure in that regard.
