Sonny Corinthos! LMAO.
Toback lost me there too. From what I have read, it sounds like Susan set her boundaries early on. It was RDJ's choice to get on board and eventually marry her. And we all know that if Susan "let" him get back on drugs people would attack her for that too. God forbid that the nearest woman in the vicinity go un-blamed for a man's choices.
I think there is some merit to the "coasting on Iron Man" criticism, but unlike Johnny Depp and the Pirates franchise, the fact that RDJ turned down any further solo Iron Man movies suggests he has some concept of when to stop.
I'll just take this moment to say that I liked his Inside the Actors Studio. He came across as surprisingly down-to-earth, at least to me. There was an answer near the end that I liked, where he mentioned that a film set is a place to do your job, not work out your daddy/mommy issues.
But at the same time, Toback was basically bitching about how Downey's wife controls everything, and that's where he lost me. Downey strikes me as someone who needs to be kept on a very short leash or else he'll find a way to get in trouble. That's why he had (and maybe still has) a sober living partner/babysitter who followed (or follows) him around everywhere. Basically, you couldn't leave him alone or else he's waking up drunk/high in a kid's bedroom wearing a Wonder Woman costume. And yet his wife is a total bitch for trying to keep her husband/father of her child from going off the rails.
