10. Robert Downey Jr. Bails on BBC Interview
Krishnan Guru-Murthy, the man whose interview Robert Downey Jr. bailed on, has a history of difficult chats. Quentin Tarantino told him he was “shutting [his] butt down” when asked about the relationship between movie and real violence. When Robert Downey Jr. walked out, the interviewer had been asking him about his past. He spit the actor’s past statement: “You can’t go from a $2,000 a night hotel suite to a penitentiary and understand it and come out a liberal,” essentially asking if he was a liberal. Downey Jr. uncomfortably evaded the question. The interviewer then asked if his tumultuous relationship with his father had affected his dark periods of drug addiction. Downey Jr. glanced to and from his publicist and then walked off.
