While Russian viewers are preparing to look at Robert Downey Jr. in the "Amazing Travel of Dr. Dulittla", the actor visited the Joe Rogan Experience subcaster and discussed with the lead one of his brightest and at the same time controversial roles. We are talking about "Soldiers of Failure", a film in which Downey Jr. played a black character.
Robert said that he initially treated the author of the author of Ben Stillar's tape, as it was found that he had found what to participate in such a project after the Iron Man - a terrible idea. But then the actor realized that he had to listen to his heart, which suggested him that the idea of Stiller was actually exactly what you need.
By the way, as Dauni Jr. stated, 90% of his black friends reacted to the role of "Soldiers of failure" approvingly, and when the leading podcast clarified, what was the reaction of the remaining 10%, the actor answered:
You know, I can't disagree with them, but I knew what my soul was lying. For me, it was like a marital wick.
To the question of whether he would be filmed in our days in a similar film, Robert replied that now in the world there are moral questions in the world, therefore, in the first place it is necessary to show moral sensitivity.
Sometimes you just need to say: Yes, I was screwed
He said. Also, the actor added that, in his opinion, "Soldiers of Failure" showed how much the use of BlackFile was wrong. And yet, according to Robert, most critics that fell on the film was directed to Stillar and his "Diebila Jack."
But you never know when you can raise the forks. I am familiar with both sides of the medal,
- I noticed the actor.
For the role in the "Soldiers of the Failure", Downey Jr. was nominated in the "Actor of the Second Plan" at the Oscar Award, the Golden Globe, Bafta and Sag Awards, however, as a result, he gave way to the Hit Ledger.
