The article says that a lot of people are offended by this. I'm not surprised, but I'm not offended at all.
Besides, that's some good makeup! He coulda fooled me!

But... he's ever more white than me, and that's saying something! Mind you, that's some pretty impressive makeup... What can he do with the voice though?

In my opinion, Downey is one of the finest actors alive today, so if any white actor can pull it off, I would think that he could.

if any white actor can pull it off,he could.

Pull what off?

Are we sure this isn't some kind of prank by Stiller and co.?

[Twisted.Mellow]

Pull what off?:clap::clap:

[Wheeljak]

Pull what off?
That spider.

[wendyful04]

Wow. If that's him that's a better makeup job than Eddie Murphy.

That's one of the nicest things you've ever said 'bout me, Doc. Yul Brynner is part of my Pantheon of Cool:

Yul Brynner
Billy Dee Williams
Cary Grant
Richard Roundtree
Blair Underwood
Tony Bennett
Jimmy "J.J." Walker*
If I were one-tenth as cool as any one of these guys, my week planner would look like this:

Monday - the nasty
Tuesday - the nasty
Wednesday - the nasty
Thursday - the nasty
Friday - the nasty
Saturday - the nasty
Sunday - rest up for the coming nasty week.


BUT DON'T BE FOOLED BY THE ROBERT DOWNEY JR, HE'S STILL A FUCKING CRACKHEAD , STILL THE SAME JACKASS WHO FUCKED UP ALLY MCBEAL,
The year changing to 1998 is what effed up Ally McBeal.

*psyche.

Yeah, the make-up looks good... but his eyes look weird.

How is he whiter than you? I really hope he doesn't try to do much with the voice.

I do agree that he's a very good actor.

haha Doc

HAHA DJ, you're a dork! Aww. =) Hugs?

[dreamrib]

damn, good makeup work. hmmm, i'm a downey fan, and still think one of his BEST roles ever (ya'll know i'm an 80s nut) Less than Zero!!!!

makes me think, ya'll remember that 80s movie where the guy painted himself black to get a scholarship at college and a date??

[Mistress M]
