Superheroes Get Hungry Too
Have you ever heard the term, “Lean into it?” Well, that’s exactly what director Jon Favreau did in the Iron Man film when Robert Downey, Jr. refused to stop hiding and eating food on set. He leaned into it and made it a running gag.
Sources say that Robert Downey, Jr. was always eating – he would even hide food and randomly start eating between takes. Resulting in the production staff finding wrappers and uneaten food in all kinds of weird places. So, they literally worked it into his character description and it’s the best thing since sliced bread. *tips imaginary hat for the sweet pun.*
