Robert Downey J has one of the most amazing comeback stories in Hollywood. Just when everybody thought Downey Jr was history after a series of drug, alcohol and legal issues, he had a massive turnaround thanks to his performance as Tony Stark or Iron Man in MCU.

By the time he retired from the role after Avengers: Endgame, he had become one of the best-known faces in the world — this time for good reason.
