Hopefully, as the cast of Iron Man 2 promotes the hell out their film over the next two weeks, we get millions of interview from Robert Downey Jr, and only a few gems from Gwyneth Paltrow. Because even though Gwyneth annoys the hell out of me, she’s very quotable. So is RDJ – only I love it when he speaks. It’s like he’s flirting with me, and only me. Sigh… I love him. Anyway, during the first part of their promotion, RDJ and Gwyneth talked about their (SPOILER) love scene in the film. RDJ “jokes” that Goopy was all over him:
As Iron Man, Robert Downey Jr. battles some ferocious enemies, but he may have met his match in Gwyneth Paltrow, who returns as his character’s love interest in the highly anticipated sequel.
“I couldn’t get her off of me. It was embarrassing,” he said, recounting the pair’s onscreen love scene while at a press conference Friday.
Paltrow remembers things a little differently. “It was great because both my husband [Coldplay’s Chris Martin] and his wife [Iron Man 2 executive producer Susan Downey] were right there.”
Downey, however, had more to reveal about his costar’s reaction to his onscreen romantic prowess….
“She said to me that I didn’t know what I was doing, like it didn’t feel good,” he said. “I’m like, you know what? First of all, we’re all friends, so what would be creepy would be if I was coming off all sexy to you—which by the way, I’ve done that in movies and it creeps them out. So what am I going to creep you out for?”
Paltrow laughed off Downey’s contention that he needed to tone down his iron-clad allure, but the erstwhile Tony Stark had the last laugh.
“Despite what she said on set, she still thinks about it.”
[From E! News]
Ha, I know he’s joking and everything, but don’t you imagine that Gwyneth probably loved it? I mean, she went from making out with Chris Martin (blech) to RDJ (yay!). She was probably like, “Go left, bitch, and make it good.”
Meanwhile, people are still overanalyzing the optics of Friday’s photo call. The Daily Mail wasn’t all that kind to Gwyneth, reminding everyone that Gwyneth was not included in any of the marketing materials for the film, and making it sound like Gwyneth was trying to out-sexy ScarJo. I still find it odd that ScarJo and Goopy were both wearing grey, although their dresses came from different designers. ScarJo’s was Roland Mouret, while Dame Goopy’s was… wait for it… Victoria Beckham! Can you believe it? I can’t.
Goop ass!
say what… thats a beckham dress no way
I love G’s dress, even if is by Victoria Beckham, lol
Gwynnie looks pretty hot here.
I wish that ScarJo would learn to walk and stand without pointing her toes in. It is not that dramatic in the photo above but in some of the others I just want to yell at her to go to a podiatrist!
I don’t see anything wrong with the way Scarlett Johansen walks. She’s just pigeon toed and I find it kind of cute.
LOL RDJ is funny. . .”she still thinks about it.” Duh, her hubs looks about as exciting as kissing a mackerel. . .
At a quick glance I thought it said GP couldnt get him off. LOL.
Didn’t Victoria Beckham work with Roland Mouret on refining her designs though? I seem to recall something about that, and if true that would explain why they look so similar.
I bet when her husband was there he was jealous. Like, of her. I’m not saying Chris Martin is gay. RDJ is just THAT good.
scarlett is, of course, gorgeous, but I hate the hair. It’s too heavy.she looks like a dog.
Love that dress on Weinnie, EXECPT for the arm pit sweat! Ewwww!!!
Lilred, I thought the same thing!
Goop is annoying, but she does look good here.
Did Scarlett do something to her face??? She looks a little different. Maybe it’s the hair, I don’t know.
actually Victoria just rips off mouret designs
I like Gwyneth Paltrow; she looks very nice in most things and this dress is lovely. I’m impressed, Posh.
Their dresses are so similar I think it was planned. I don’t think it’s that unusual for costars to coordinate their outfits for press calls/premiers.
Lilred & Lucy2 – me too! And I was laughing, until I reread it. I like our version better.
What a poor choice for Pepper. She’s supposed to be a hot, shapely redhead, not some skinny, bleached snob.
I think Gwyneth looks amazing here.
i love/lust over GP’s shoes — I want them so bad…
Robert Downey Jr – Yum
shut up, Victoria Beckham’s dress looks just like a Roland Mouret dress? that never happens, lol.
i also thought it read ‘she wouldn’t get me off’. haha… and coming from RDJ that wouldn’t be too surprising. he’s the best.
wow, so gwyneth sweats, huh? i had no idea she was human like the rest of us.
I also love her shoes.
I don’t hate Gwyneth, she’s snobby yes but whatever, so am I.
The “she still thinks about it” line is funny.
ScarJo looks quite funny here! I didn’t think I would say it, but I actually prefer Gwyneth look!
suz said it!
Everything is just a Mouret ripoff. Also, hasn’t Gwynnie worn VB before?
Lots of stars are wearing VB. Not that I want to give her any credit but she’s finally pried her way into the design world, however she ripped her way in.
I have to give her credit though, for downsizing the plast-o-tits, cutting off the weave and washed off the orange goo. Thanks a heap for starting the wag look, though, Veeb. Love ya, mean it.
Dear Lord he is so hot and never looked better. What a crack up, he’s so funny too. Gwenyth is absolutely stunning herself.
ScaeJo looks like a linebacker in that dress.
Ms Johansson looks like she’s still half asleep in her closeup
Love love love RDJ!!
Scar Jo needs to earn to stand up straight with feet forward. She looks like a duck the way she stands with toes inward.
Great blog, I’m going to spend more time reading about this subject
