A REAL MAN

吸毒一→坐牢一 In April 1996, Downey was arrested(逮捕) for possession(藏有) of heroin, cocaine(古柯鹼) and an unloaded.357 Magnum handgun(.357馬格南手槍) while he was speeding down Sunset Boulevard(日落大道). A month later, while on parole(假釋), he trespassed(擅自闖入) into a neighbor's home while under the influence of a controlled substance and fell asleep in one of the beds. He was sentenced to(判處) three years of probation(緩刑) and required to undergo compulsory drug testing(經過強制毒品測試). In 1997, he missed one of the court-ordered(法院判決的) drug tests and had to spend four months in the Los Angeles County jail.

 吸毒二→坐牢二After Downey missed another required drug test(藥物檢察) in 1999, he was arrested once more. Despite Downey's lawyer, John Stewart Holden, assembling for his client's 1999 defense the same team of lawyers that successfully defended O.J. Simpson during his criminal trial for murder(對於刑事審判中的謀殺罪), Downey was sentenced to(判處) a three-year prison term at the California Substance Abuse Treatment Facility and State Prison in Corcoran, California (a.k.a. "Corcoran II"). At the time of the 1999 arrest, all of Downey's film projects had wrapped and were close to release, with the exception of In Dreams(超異能夢魘), which he was allowed to complete filming(他被允許完成拍攝). He had also been hired for voicing "The Devil" on the NBC animated television series God, the Devil and Bob, but was fired when he failed to show up for rehearsals(當在彩排時他並未出現).

 復出After five years of substance abuse(藥物濫用), arrests(逮捕), rehab(康復/戒毒), and relapse(舊疾復發), Robert Downey Jr. was finally ready to work toward a full recovery from drugs and a return to his career. In discussing his failed attempts to control his own addictive behavior(成癮行為) in the past, Downey told Oprah Winfrey in November 2004 that "when someone says, 'I really wonder if maybe I should go to rehab?' Well, uh, you're a wreck(變得極瘦弱的人), you just lost your job, and your wife left you. Uh, you might want to give it a shot." He added that after his last arrest in April 2001, when he knew he would likely be facing another stint(限制) in prison or another form of incarceration(監禁) such as court-ordered rehab, "I said, 'You know what? I don't think I can continue doing this.' And I reached out for help(我設法尋求協助), and I ran with it. You can reach out for help in kind of a half-assed way and you'll get it and you won't take advantage of it. It's not that difficult to overcome these seemingly ghastly problems(這些看似可怕的問題)...what's hard is to decide(下定決心) to do it."

 鋼鐵人圖片那頁With all of the critical success Downey had experienced throughout his career, he had never appeared in a "blockbuster" film. That changed in the middle of 2008 when Downey starred in two critically and commercially successful films, Iron Manand Tropic Thunder.

Iron Man(簡單介紹)

In 2007, Downey was cast as the title character in the film Iron Man, with director Jon Favreau explaining the choice by stating: "Downey wasn't the most obvious choice, but he understood what makes the character tick. He found a lot of his own life experience in 'Tony Stark'." Favreau insisted on having Downey as he repeatedly claimed that Downey would be to Iron Man what Johnny Depp is to the Pirates of the Caribbean series, a lead actor that could both elevate(提升) the quality of the film and increase the public's interest in it. For the role Downey had to gain more than 20 pounds of muscle in five months to look like he "had the power to forge iron."
