Downey Jr. Follows Johnny's Lead
Bradenton.com offers an article about the recent Comic-Con convention, which includes a quote from Robert Downey Jr. on why he chose to don the "Iron Man" superhero costume for an upcoming film.
For Downey, the choice to take flight in hero-franchise came as a result of a bit of peer envy.
"I came up with Johnny Depp, right, we were right there and there was always respect, and I watched him and his choices, which have been wonderful. And then I see Johnny Depp do 'Pirates (of the Caribbean)' and then suddenly Depp is on a Slurpee cup. And the movies are good. And he's great in them. And I think: If Depp is on a Slurpee, I want to be on a Slurpee."

Dont try to be Johnny Depp be yourself, Johnny Depp dont say will if Orlando Bloom is on a cup for PotC that he as to be, so just be yourself.
I think that's cute.
But "Ironman"? I'm not too sure.
WOW! Robert is a great actor... I think it's cool that he is humble enough to admit that his motivation for choosing a role was due to another great actor. Neat! I don't think JD meant to be on a cup, though.
