Robert Downey Jr. storms out of interview

Robert Downey Jr. stormed out of a sitdown interview with the UK Channel 4. He was doing a round of interviews to promote the new "Avengers" movie when on reporter asked him a question he didn't want to answer.

Not just that, but he’s also answered all of these questions many times before like 10 years ago.

[@Richbund]

You're wrong, he did not "storm out" of the interview. He did not react to the inappropriate, insensitive, tasteless questions with any aggression, he didn't say anything mean or nasty. He was very calm and cordial, and even said to the douche-bag reporter that he was a good guy, just a little to much Diane Sawyer and walked out. Who ever wrote the title for this video does not grasp or understand the use of the english language, and appears to only be interested in sensationalizing it. Best to describe what it really is, don't you agree?

[@jetlorider]

It wasn't a walk out. You clearly hear Robert says BYE! He end it....so get over it!

[@thedeepweb2578]

Rich Bund thanks i couldnt catch the last audio

[@boofstain1508]

Storming out of an interview is a bit of an over exaggeration but lets be honest, he was pretty quick to leave the interview. Albeit in a calm manner but in the middle of a bit of an sensitive question most likely written by someone else and not the interviewer himself rather probably an outsource from the company he works for. Downy knew this, thats why he said "you seem like a good guy" meaning that it wasnt the interviewer that made him upset but rather the question itself. He doesnt seem to be the type to blame others for how he feels, he seems to just take responsibility for how he feels and try to either resolve it, or in this case, leave.

[@japan32japan]

boof stain this interviewer always asks personal questions di he was not put up to doing it by someone else I think

[@vibeking1862]

This literally had nothing to do with The Avengers, I'm glad he left

[@Spckeck]

He sits down for a promo interview, gets flat out ambushed by a question that belongs on 60 minutes THEN the sleazy putz has the guts to laugh as he's walking out... Rob, I applaud your ability to avoid kicking his teeth down his smug throat.

[@Spckeck]

JudgmentDay78​ while I respect your opinion, I don't think he's worth that much energy and given Mr. Downey Jrs taste I'd hate to see him wreck his shoes on this pos. 

[@BrookNBones]

Spckeck Good point. All I know is the man has worked hard over the years to overcome that reputation he gained as a young man. Young people do stupid things, we all have at some point done something we're not proud of later in life. He's been interviewed lord knows how many times about it. Let the man get on with his life and look at him for who he is now, not who he was 20 years ago.

[@gnil2000]

I really respect how even when walking out of an interview, Robert Downey Jr. does so calmly and maturely. The interview should have been about the Avengers. There's a time and a place for everything, and Downey has answered questions about his past in previous interviews. But when this is clearly an interview about the Avengers, those questions had no place.
