Robert Downey Jr. On 'Thunder'

Fresh off the success of 'Ironman,' Robert Downey, Jr. drops by the Early Show to discuss his new comedy 'Tropic Thunder' in which his character dons blackface. Harry Smith reports.

[@exnomer5002]

Well goddamn. Robert Downey Jr risked his entire Career... ... for the Birth of a Meme.. Beautiful... :'}

[@enemytortoise1520]

Exnomer Well, he had a contract which guaranteed him at least 3 more movies with Marvel, Iron Man 2, Iron Man 3 and The Avengers. He didn't risk too much in that sense, but he did risk his reputation I suppose.

[@adfggffffffddffd]

You don't think Marvel could have backed out of their contract with RDJ if he became too controversial?

[@benlanders5723]

ItsOk ToBeWhite - MarvelDisney could have backed out of the contact at anytime if they wanted to, Movie contracts are in complete favour of the studio, not the actor. The actor has to stick to a contract but the studio doesn't.

[@ozwunder69]

Thank god he didn't play trump lol

[@rajendranadarajan8931]

I havent met a single black man or woman who thought RDJ's performance was racist. It's one of his greatest roles and he got an oscar nomination for it.

[@d0cn0tes]

totally agree...

[@roddyboethius1722]

Nobody said it was racist. Just whites wishing people said that

Only white hipster women were offended by this honestly

[@gabrielpasqualini8413]

what has he done for the nation?

[@AlyJiselle]

I'm Black and Tropic Thunder is one of my all-time favorite movies-- and that's largely because of RDJ's character and how well he played it. I'm still praying for a sequel!

[@Wetsloppytomatoes]

Never will happen. The world has gone too far killing off comedy because everyone has taken the victim mentality and you’re hurting my emotions.

[@robert2624]

being able to so convincingly pull off playing a white dude who plays a black dude after ironman just made RDJ go up another level as an actor in my book

[@phapnui]

And in the intro to the movie he played a gay priest

[@consumerjtc5835]

then he became an asian poppy farmer whilst playing a black man.

[@cv4809]

Jerome Talor He became an Asian poppy farmer while being a white Australian actor playing as a white australian actor who was playing an afro-American veteran

[@kemocali6504]

RDJ was the best thing about Tropic Thunder.

[@lwwells]

KEMO Cali he’s great. But the best thing is Les Grossman.

[@brucekirk5386]

Him and Tom

[@BullRadu]

i hate tom cruise and i can't watch movies with him, but i was so happy that i didn't knew anything about tropic thunder and didn't even recognise him. i must say, tom cruise had one of the best performances :))

[@iAiannn]

Les Grossman was!

[@ericdebord]

Tom cruz was good too

[@adolpholiverbush2]

Gotta say I'm happy to see that the black community sees this for the comedy gold it is, and most don't have any issues with RDJ's portrayal. We have far too thin skins these days.

[@nicknametoolong]

blackface was about insulting black people, making them look like fools for a white audience, basically playing into the stereotypes of black people. this was the complete opposite. funny as hell

[@bigfan1041]

not entirely historically accurate but ok, thats the modern perception atleast

[@Blodia1990]

It is extremely flattering that he played this part...I thought he was AMAZING in the role, so good

[@tinadias1370]

He is amazing

[@kloggmonkey]

yeah i recall jamie foxx saying something like "he's our guy, i did his birthday and my first joke was 'how dare you take these roles from black people?'"

Idgaf tropic thunder is hilarious an Robert Downey Jr's character made da movie I'm black an wasn't offended at all.. an nobody said shit to the wayans wen they dressed up as white girls.. people need 2 relax its comedy..all that matters in the end is WAS IT FUNNY

[@Kazwell96]

+kobey valentine, so wait, a white man dresses up as a black CHARACTER in a way that isn't insulting, nor making fun of the race, and its still racist. typical. y'all and the race card. get over your self, stop being a bitch. it's the 21st century, they only way we are going to move past racism is to stop playing into the medias plans to keep us divided. if we stand together, the media loses. national news channels are bullshit. dig deep, do your research behind the story and find out the truth, don't be a sheep man

[@technomage6736]

Kobey Valentine Wahhh wahhhh. Keep crying ya little fuckin snowflake. Talkin about "stickin up for massa"... You a baby back bitch.

[@DubsUp-pf9xz]

Im an african american. Ive been a fan of RDJ since he started constantly being arrested for drugs while pulling off great performances. I also realized he was in weird science (classic), and had played various roles i didnt recognize him in. When i first saw tropic thunder, i knew the role he would be playing. But his performance was phenomenal. I loved every scene he was in. I felt proud. my people could not stop laughing because his decisions would have been our decisions. But his charachter's opinion of the movie biz was what helped us understand that he was just an actor playing an actor in one of the most hilarious movies ever. RDJ became one of my top 5 actors of all time with tropic thunder and i just needed to show some love and share my opinion.

[@Ericwvb2]

Not everyone caught this but there is a line in the movie where RDJ says something like "I don't break character until after the DVD commentary." If you listen to the Tropic Thunder DVD commentary, RDJ does the commentary as Lincoln Osiris!

[@nishantsharma7436]

Thanks bro... U really get it

[@joshuabapp2402]

Dubs Up that's cool you're not offended but what does it say about your moral compass that you liked him because of drugs? I remember blacks loved bill Clinton because he got head. I hear about race everyday from blacks, this country is saturated from it.

[@chug20]

Hawaipandat He didn’t say he was a fan BECAUSE he was arrested for drugs. Just that he’s been a fan since that time period, you racist piece of shit.

[@joshuabapp2402]

chug20 Nah only racist are you and people like you

[@Rattrap007]

It wasn't mocking blacks. It was mocking actors who go super method or wild extremes for a role. What makes it funnier is RDJr doing commentary in character.

[@antwonanderson2562]

Robert Downey Jr is a terrific actor hands down. He was so good I didn't know that Lincoln wasn't really black and I'm black. I think every actor was great in the movie and there should be a sequel.

[@keithsimmons9555]

+antwon anderson i totally agree

hm, I could argue that. When Sharlie Hebdo satirized dead body of refugee kid on Italian beach or Russian airplane crash I felt what jihadists felt when they attacked those sons of a bitches while being Christian myself. Death of real innocent people is a topic that should never be satirized.

[@Uyuzefe]

Well, its always sunny also did blackface without going racist

[@dkg_gdk]

It was not really black face, its satire, precisely because of what Alpa Chino said to him about not getting the only african american role.

Tropic thunder is just... pure great acting from R.Downey Jr. For me it's his best acting performance.

[@ElCapitanJones]

Some of the best acting in the modern era. This is a textbook example of perfect satire.

[@cleide97]

He was very very funny in that Tropic thunder movie, almost unrecognizable. Also, can't still get over Tom Cruise dance moves at the end of the movie. Hilarious! Great stuff.

[@kobibashale5452]

the interviewer said I didn't understand anything you said during the movie. that was the most racist thing about the entire movie and interview. RDJ was phenomenal in this role.

[@knut761]

+Kobi Bashale You don't know what racism is. Racism = to believe your specific race (and ethnicity within that race) to be superior to that of other races (and ethnicities within those races) If you want to be taken serious make sure you know wtf you are talking about. The interviewer not understanding most of what was said makes perfect sense simply because he is a *yankee* and yankees don't understand accents let alone dialects. Why? Because they have none they all sound like monotone automatons. In fact, often times they have to fucking add text for Yankee audiences to help them understand. This concludes your _education_ for today. Oh and lastly; you made yourself out to look like the complete ignorant SJW ( www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=SJW) muppet you are.

why does it matter if ur black????

[@jermainekngdom3154]

Because many white people are racist and are full of hate for another grpup pf human beings that's why. They do this to make themselves feel superior when they are not.

[@jermainekngdom3154]

satti80 you know this statement is a oxymoron. its a racist statement calling a group of people racist. and this does not speak for how all black people feel. it just those who are holding on to a fight thats long gone. you fuel fire and breed animosity where it originally was none. making hate where none was before. some of the greatest people I met are white people who do not account for race. they don't ignore...it just doesn't matter. i never had one white person have a issue with my race. not near one. not one that try to aviod me. more white people give money to those exploiting ass fake homeless people on the train who rather be supported than to keep husling. their is more white people fighting for black causes than black people. million man march was a mixed crowd. futb

I didn't find his role offensive because I understand the point being conveyed. For one, that Black people are rarely portrayed or played by actual Blacks but when they are there characters are stereotypes of what Black is. Many ppl rarely got that smh. Great movie and it's portrayal of Hollywood and it's characters.

[@lucasazx5474]

+sweetbabyboo5 lmfao black people rarely get portrayed by actual black people? Are you joking? Do you have any idea how many white characters have been changed into a black character for no reason?

[@sweetbabyboo5]

+Lucas A No I'm not joking. Even movies like Cleopatra are white washed. And there was that movie where Angelina Jolie played a Black women in a based on a true story movie. I'm not talking about fictional characters.

[@lucasazx5474]

sweetbabyboo5 ok Cleopatra was most likely from Greek heritage so she would mostly likely not have been black, and not talking about fictional characters makes no sense, since there are TONS of white fictional characters that get changed to black, how many black fictional characters get changed to white? You cant have your cake, make shit up and eat it too, you either make your point and stand by it or shut the fuck up. just for fun id love to hear another "real" black character that was changed to white, maybe do a little research this time.

[@sweetbabyboo5]

+Lucas A Cleopatra was an Eygptian Pharoah and in that regard we clearly can't have a discussion because we are on two different pages. Good Day.

[@lucasazx5474]

sweetbabyboo5 Yeah but she was most likely of Macedonian heritage, meaning she would have been of Greek descent and would not have been black. And you're right we are on two different pages, im on the page of knowing what im talking about, you're on the other one.

[@SunyiSideUp]

White Chicks is a beloved movie, kid. Movies don't have to be high brow to be "good". Sometimes dumb, bad movies are "good" in the sense that they're funny and people love them. Like, a lot of the black comedies from the 90s and early 00s, like Rush Hour and Blue Streak. They aren't technically "good" movies, like, nobody is going to look at them academically and be like "ah, yes, a wonderful comedic film." But they're "good" movies, as in people like them, laugh at them, and they're somewhat beloved. Like the House Party films, or Don't Be A Menace, or whatever. They're not at all "good" in the way Tropic Thunder was. But they are good. I know very few Millennials who don't like White Chicks.

[@unstoppableExodia]
