Robert Downey Jr is pretty awesome. The critically acclaimed actor screened “Winter Soldier” for a bunch of kids.
Robert Downey Jr has been doing a lot of charitable events lately and this one seems to top the list of cool things RDJ has done. On Robert Downey Jr’s 49th birthday he screened ‘Captain America: The Winter Soldier’ for 50 lucky kids. He posted the following photo to his Facebook page with the message, “Let the partaaay begin!!!’
But, here is the full story. According to Geekosystem Jamie Foxx needed Tony Stark’s help.
[Jamie] Foxx’s five-year-old daughter insisted on an Iron Man theme for her birthday party, and told all of her friends that she knew the real Tony Stark – and that he’d be there. As a total shot in the dark, Foxx texted Downey Jr. about the awkward predicament, with low expectations (as if Iron Man has time to show up to a kid’s birthday party, you know?) But, being an actual superhero, RDJ totally came to the party with a bucket full of Iron Man toys, and hung out for the day. For real.
