Robert Downey Jr. learnt 'smartness' from THIS razor-sharp guy in Hollywood

Robert Downey Jr. have got covered when it comes to acting smartly in career.

For an actor’s rise in showbiz, one needs to have several traits synchronizing together, it does not only need intelligence.

The Iron Man actor has always been inspired by one razor-sharp guy existing in the Hollywood entertainment industry.

According to Robert, if there is an actor who acts differently in public or just seem like idiots, that doesn't necessarily mean he is not intelligent or smart.

In conversation to Emanuel Levy, the Marvel star stated: “I don’t buy for a second that this guy could tie their shoes unattended.”

He found that quality in Keanu Reeves. According to the 59-year-old actor, the Matrix has evolved from being just a pretty boy to becoming a veteran.

Downey Jr. said: “I just looked at Keanu and said, ‘Neo, teach me the secrets of seeing behind the mask of reality.”

The Avengers actor believes that the Sonic 3 actor is a lot smarter and canny, than the credits he repeatedly receives.

“When you talk to him,” Downey Jr continued. “You can tell he’s the most well-read and self-educated of all of us”, told Robert, 59.

Downey Jr. and Reeves have worked together in 2006 sci-fi thriller titled A Scanner Darkly.
