Robert Downey Jr. Was Once Arrested for Smoking Weed at Disneyland

"Heres a bit of trivia for you," he said. "The very first time I went to Disneyland I was transported to another place within moments of being arrested. I was brought to a surprisingly friendly processing center, given a strict warning, and returned to, if memory serves, one very disappointed group chaperone. Ive been sitting on that shame for a while and Im just going to release it here tonight."

"I would like to make amends to whoever had to detain me for smoking pot in a gondola without a license," he continued. "And I dont wanna further confuse the issue by insinuating that pot smoking licenses for the gondola are in any way obtainable."

One of the many reasons Downey Jr.'s Tony Stark held such appeal was because his history as a wealthy, misbehaving playboy mirrored that of the man playing him. And Downey Jr. is grateful to have been given the opportunity to evolve the role from a single movie in 2009 to this year's epic ensemble Avengers: Endgame.

"I'm delighted to be among such a rich and diverse group of humans, all seeking to reflect the many challenges of life through the lens of creative expression, he said. "For my part, playing Tony over many years, the thematic idea that technology can guide our species towards enlightenment or destruction, its been a really worthwhile and ongoing meditation. Honestly, its been a great gift."
