    I just wanna tackle him in the worst (best?) way.

    • mabooski says:

      right? he looks good for his age but that’s it. If anyone has found the fountain of youth its gotta be Pharell Williams! now HE looks the same as he did 10 years ago!

  2. Samigirl says:

    He is so handsome! And I love the Captain Americaesque hair style. I so would.

  3. Tiff says:

    Yes, rdj is very handsome

  4. Tiffany27 says:

    He takes like this lunch box full of vitamins. I think that’s what it is. I’m not judging, I would ride that man until the hands of god pulled me off.

    • V4Real says:

      No it would be me pulling you off; you’re just going to wish God was there. 🙂

      • truthSF says:

        Oh V4Real, you are a hot mess about your RDJ possession, hahaha.

        I have loved him as an actor ever since I first saw him in “Heart & Soul” WHEN I was a kid. And he proved his talent in “One Night Stand” as the gay best friend of Wesley Snipe’s character, and also in “Kiss Kiss Bang Bang”.

      • V4Real says:

        Yes I’m a hot mess over my owership of Robert and I own it. He was awesome in One Night Stand but I found myself being strangely turned on by his character in Fur and I mean before Diane shaved the hair off. Maybe because I knew what was waiting underneath.

    • lrm says:

      yea, he takes chinese herbs, rather than vitamins, per se. he’s a huge proponent of chinese medicine as a whole. He received a ‘TCM Advocacy award: http://www.acupuncturetoday.com/mpacms/at/article.php?id=32574
      He’s also a fan of tai chi and martial arts.
      He recently answered Jay Leno, when asked about which route he takes, western or chinese, and he said ‘oh chinese medicine all the way’ [paraphrasing but it was an emphatic phrasing].

      Here is an excerpt of his acceptance ‘speech’:
      “I confess, that I am as close to being a Chinese-American as any Caucasian ever could be in his life. I awoke to my Qi Gong practice this morning, Guarding the Eight Treasures, I did some Mook Jong wooden dummy drills in preparation for my black belt grading at the LA Wing Chung Kung Fu Academy, and I then took my, get ready, my herbal formula, and then ate a seasonally appropriate meal. And all before 1:30 PM.”

      Jokes aside, Downey went on to speak highly of Traditional Chinese Medicine and the difference it made in his life.

      Truth be told, every discipline that I have employed that has its roots in the Chinese tradition has worked, and that’s what I’m really drawn to, it’s the way is the way is the way, and when things work, they are really worth putting your time and energy behind,” Downey said.

      “It’s contributed to making me a more tolerable father, and son, husband, co-worker, and according to the title of this award, visionary. ”

      sigh. I don’t know if he really looks that much younger than his age, but he does look vibrant, healthy and happy, which translates to youthful. Plus, he’s so charismatic and an intelligent conversationalist. Makes him that much more attractive. and some of us love his outside the box perspective.

  5. V4Real says:

    I was just talking about my hubby yesterday and how much younger he looks without facial hair. Clean and sober living can do that for you. This man is all kinds of sexy and he will be a forever dong in my life. He just looks like he would be so much fun in bed.

    His appeal and charisma even makes me forgive his friendship with Goop.

    • marie says:

      now, who were you trying to get a peek at when you met him? that was you right?

      and yes RDJ has, he’s looks fantastic (I have been over-using that word like crazy lately, but I mean it here)

      • misstressofsylar says:

        that’s why I can never hate Goop. if she’s good enough for RDJ (he insisted on her for Avengers), then she’s good enough for me.

      • V4Real says:

        @Marie Yep it was me. It was years ago before he got clean and sober. He just happened to walk into a bar in Manhattan that my friends and I were in. He was so much fun but I’m really happy that he got it together. I found out later that Keanu was in another bar/resturant about two blocks from where we were. I was like damn b/c Keanu was my favorite at that time. Now I always tell myself that I can’t believe I was willing to choose Neo over Iron Man. I am now happy that it turned out the way it did.
        I saw Robert this year at a NY Private Screening of IM3 but I didn’t get close to him since I wasn’t supposed to be in there in the first place.

        @mistress RDJ and Goop have known each other for over 20 years. He even said he tried to sleep with her when he first met her at a film festival in Canada. Something almost happened but it didn’t go that far. This came directly from his mouth. They got out of touch when he started going through his shit but became close again after he sobered up. When he first approached her about starring in IM with him she said no but he told her don’t you want to be in a movie that people will actually go see. I laughed so hard at that. Was he saying that Goop’s movies sucked but in a subtle way.

  6. HappyJoyJoy says:

    He’s discovered the fountain of hot. The things I would let this man do to me…

  7. Reece says:

    Attitude is everything. Love him so much.

    And CAN WE TALK ABOUT THE COLIN FIRTH PHOTOS in the links??? I’ve been staring at their amazingness all morning!

  8. Linda says:

    You’re right, what is it with that guy?

  9. Meaghan says:

    He is SOOOOOOOO sexy. Wow. He is the ONLY reason I watched and loved the Avengers and Iron man movies.

  10. Ann says:

    He looks fine but clearly looks his age.

    • cos says:

      Definitely looks his age and the 30 gazillion he makes per movie probably keeps him stocked in age-defying products and procedures.

    • FLORC says:

      He’s handsome and the personality or at least what we see of it, is stellar. Does he look 10 years younger though? He looks his age. We’re all just getting fooled by our libidos.

      His hotness also stems from his devotion to his wife and his marriage. Sweet man.

  11. Toot says:

    He looks decent, but he looks his age.

  12. Erinn says:

    Love RDJ!

    And Khloe is looking AMAZING. I would LOVE to have her body in those photos at the link. And I would not say no to the houndstooth dress and sweater either, if I had that body.

    Damn these short legs of mine!

  13. Mew says:

    The key to “eternal youth” – happiness and peace of mind. He has it.

  14. Sirsnarksalot says:

    I’m seeing a handsome but very much 48 year old man. No fountain of youth there but still aging in a very hot way. Now not aging in a hot way….Portia. Which makes me so sad.

  15. smee says:

    I’m pretty sure Rob Lowe found the Fountain of Youth, but he might let RDJ have a sip now and then……

  16. Jenna says:

    I love that last picture of him so much! lol V4real, go get him girl! Protect your territory! Or at least one of them. 😛

  17. yolo112 says:

    Omg… I love him so bad. He kinda tuned me off for a minute because he was playing up the Tony Stark part a *little* too much, but goodness… I fell in love with him when I saw ‘Chances Are’ with Cybil Shepherd..love that movie! I once found a guy that I thought was ‘the one’ that could have passed for RDJ’s brother, but that guy was straight crazy and I had to pass.. anyway, RDJ is quite glorious, indeed…

    Khloe is looking great! She’s the ONLY Kardashian that I won’t talk shit about because a- I kinda like her and b- I say enough about Kim to make up for it.

    BTW, can’t you just see Will Smith being **SHOCKED** that his movie wasn’t well received?? Guess his “midas touch” is taking a vacay..??

  18. Bijlee says:

    Okay so i saw the come and get it music video. its an awesome song, but a really stupid video. I saw the getaway trailer and omg gomez cannot act. The movie looks horrendous. It’ll be a redbox movie or dollar movie when I want to watch something dumb, just because I do like hawke.

  19. K-rock says:

    I don’t know what fountain it is. Maybe the fountain of hotness lol but DAYUM! I would hit that six ways to Sunday.

  20. insomniac says:

    I think he’s really attractive, especially given everything he’s put his body through over the years, but I think he looks his age.

  21. JenD says:

    I like Khloe. She seems like the only relatable of the K clan.

    Now that Will Smith’s movie bombed, he’s decided he’s no longer doing big budget movies. With all his weird press, I think he’s turned many off from watching him.

  22. DorothyZbornak says:

    “How does Robert Downey Jr. manage to look so ageless?!”
    It’s called being a multi-millionaire.

    That said, he looks so hot, especially for someone who spent years as a drug addict.

  23. Mabs says:

    See? Cocaine’s not that bad.

  24. Crumpets and Crotchshots says:

    This is what 48 looks like if you are happy, healthy, and take. Are of yourself.

    • Meaghan says:

      You don’t remember him hitting rock bottom and the drugs and booze and abuse he did to himself in earlier years? hahaha. He may take care of himself now, but he used to be QUITE the partier!

      • V4Real says:

        That’s pretty much what @Mabs and @Crumpets are saying. They know about his drug past but now he is off the narcotics and alcohol and looks great because he is taking care of himself. He traded drugs, jail and strippers for martial arts, herbal vitamins, and a stable relationship for almost 10 years.

  25. mercyme says:

    Let’s start with 48 is not that old. He has puppy eyes, is very fit, and has the money to invest in subtle procedures that keep his skin looking fresh and taut. He’s smart not to overdo it, but if it were an actress with a furrowed brow like his, I kind of doubt we’d be talking about her youthful appearance.

    • V4Real says:

      I still find Meryl Streep beautiful and she’s 63. Raquel Welch and Sofia Loren are permanent beauties in my eyes and maintain a much youthful appearance even way into their primes.

      Also there are plenty of women around Robert’s age that are beautiful furrowed brow and all. There have been older women on C/B that we have said are beautiful and youthful looking. Halle Berry may be cray cray but she does not look 46.

      • mercyme says:

        I agree they’re beautiful at any age , but that wasn’t my point. My point was we don’t often see women with wrinkles similar to RDJr’s furrow celebrated for their youthful looks. Beautiful, yes. Youthful, not so much. Unless they are relatively line-free, like Halle, or like Sophia and Raquel were well into their 50-60’s (they probably still don’t that much of a furrow lol.)

        Men are allowed to have lines and still be considered youthful.

  26. Virgilia Coriolanus says:

    I don’t know where else to put this, so….I was watching clips from The Face, and that model that’s bangin’ Vlad on the side better watch her back and sleep with one eye open. Just from watching a few clips, Naomi is fierce! She will defend the girls on her team with everything she’s got! Which of course makes it worse…what was that girl thinking?

    Check out the marvelous shade! “Check your lipstick before you come and talk to me.”

    • V4Real says:

      That bitch go hard. Coco was smart to give her response away from Naomi.

      • Nev says:

        Hahahahhahaahahahahaha

        OMI forever.

      • Virgilia Coriolanus says:

        The sad thing is, the model that she was defending in the video, was the model that’s with Vlad now! Dang, is she an idiot.

    • Virgilia Coriolanus says:

      I just looked at Luo Zilin’s twitter….she hasn’t tweeted anything since May 24th….one of the last people that she tweeted was to Naomi for her birth day….you in danger girl.

  27. Jane says:

    Um, RDJ looked a lot younger 10 years ago (cue….DUH). Why must hotness always be equated with youth? He looked dreamy 20 years ago and he does now still.

  28. Joanna says:

    HOT HOT HOT

  29. lucy2 says:

    Poor Goop – she probably ate nothing but organic grass clippings and holy water in preparation for IM3, and RDJ still looks better than her.

    Will Smith cracks me up – his movie is a major flop, and suddenly he’s too much of an artist for big budget movies. Yeah, OK.

  30. missiecoco says:

    Cocaine’s a helluva drug

  31. Evie says:

    He looks great but by no means could he pass for 38 years old lol.

  32. Jazz says:

    RDJ… le sigh…
