The veteran actor was known for his performances in hits like, To Live and Die in LA, Magnolia, Boogie Nights and more.
His son, Downey Jr., 56, turned to his Instagram to pay homage to him.
“RIP Bob D. Sr. 1936-2021…Last night, dad passed peacefully in his sleep after years of enduring the ravages of Parkinson’s. He was a true maverick filmmaker, and remained remarkably optimistic throughout. According to my stepmoms calculations, they were happily married for just over 2000 years. Rosemary Rogers-Downey, you are a saint, and our thoughts and prayers are with you,” wrote the Iron Man actor.
