The actor doesn't want what happened to him, happen to his son!

Robert Downey Jr. is "proud" of his son for deciding to voluntarily check himself into rehab last June.

The 'Iron Man 3' star - who has also battled with substance abuse in the past - is pleased Indio, 20, decided to seek help on his own accord to help kick his drug addiction.

According to People magazine, " clearly understands the struggle, and while of course this relapse was very upsetting to him, he is very proud of his son. truly wants to stay clean. And no matter what, his dad will be right there with him."

Indio - whose mother is Robert's ex-wife Deborah Falconer - has reportedly been in and out of rehab for many years, but has managed to stay clean until recently.

We earlier reported that the by fell off the straight and narrow last month when he was arrested for possession of cocaine in West Hollywood after police caught him smoking something out of a pipe in a car.

We hope he stays clean this time.
