dead right too, he's only there promoting his new movie

[Scarlett.]

Don't blame him, C4 has fallen so far, they only live off shock pieces now. Unlike ITV and BBC, Channel 4 doesn't really have any heavy hitters to keep it going, so it depends on crap and shockumentaries.

Yes Kristen was out of order
He is in Top Kids and young people film
not going back to junkie in the gutter time
when he was not getting roles.

This presenter has form
when a American Top Director
told him No - Butt Out 2013

It's not what he was there to do, he was there to promote his new film. I would have walked out as well if I were him.

Anyway Age of Ultron doesn't need that much promotion, I'm going to see it tonight, can't wait

Merely pointing out that you called Evan Davis a 'try hard', 'disgrace to the BBC' during his interview with a man who want to lead the country but you have no problem with an actor getting grilled about his past.

Yes he does need questions
on Dope etc

[Firewire]

I don't know why those questions were asked... It was completely irrelevant. I do think Robert came across as extremely arrogant though, even before the personal questions.

[Crimson Dynamo]

yes he dealt with it like a big spoiled twat

[Kazanne]

He could have used it to his advantage and told people it is possible to turn your life around and hasn't he made all his drug problems etc public anyway? Probably wasn't the best question to ask him,but to walk out was a tad childish.

He's probably fed up to the back teeth of talking about it all the time, he probably wants to move on and forward now. Avengers is a fun, family movie, as should these interviews promoting the film

ungrateful dick

Is Robert Downey Jnr lucky to get an Interview or is C4 lucky to get a an interview with him?

[Ammi]

..he goes to talk about a movie and Krishnan starts to ask him about depression/dark periods/his dad and drug past..I don't think he came across as arrogant at all but just stunned by the questioning...Krishnan is an idiot...

[Kizzy]

I'm surprised at that, springing those kinds of questions during a film promo? Ashamed of you Kristian

[Crimson Dynamo]

wotsit is a journo, its his job

if he had said to his pr, i want to do an interview where we talk about his past what do you think he would have said?

[Lostie!]

As much as I agree that it was inappropriate to ask these questions when he's there to simply promote a movie, I think he could have just said "I don't want to talk about that" instead of the whole walk-out thing. Krishnan did say just before "You can answer them if you want to or not if you don't".

I also get the impression that he didn't really want to ask him about that, he was really hesitant and seemed nervous. I get the feeling he was told to do it tbh.

..maybe because he's done it before and got the same response, so he would be apprehensive about that happening again, which it did because it wasn't the appropriate time...it's not something that should have been done without Robert being asked and agreeing to it...
