One of the best silver screen matches of the 21st Century is, without a doubt, Robert Downey, Jr. and Tony Stark/Iron Man. Now luck may have struck twice for the two-time Oscar nominee, who only recently joined Twitter but it’s proving to be a perfect fit, as he’s quickly becoming one of the most popular celebs on the social media giant. Here’s 5 reasons why @robertdowneyjr is a must follow:
1) The Bio: “You know who I am.” – Classically sarcastic
2) The Photo: Proudly holding his 2014 Kids Choice Awards blimp for Favorite Male Buttkicker
3) Those other photos: Downey, Jr. has shared some exclusive, incredible images from the set of “Avengers: Age of Ultron”. Sure, they’re not of him or the others in costume (quite yet), but seeing the entire cast and crew, including director Joss Whedon, having lunch is pretty cool.
4) The promotional plugs: On opening day of his new comedy “Chef”, co-starring and directed by buddy Jon Favreau, Downey wrote, “Speaking of awesome movies that open today…”
5) Appreciating his fans: A mother asked RDJ if he would help her daughter, who was being made fun of at school for believing in superheroes. He replied, “Don’t worry, Keira, I believe in them too!” Now that’s a true superhero!
Downey, Jr. “only” has 1.64 million Twitter followers (as of this writing). Expect that number to grow a little between now and “Ultron”s release next May.
