Robert Downey Jr. and Susan Downey met on a film set
Robert Downey Jr. and Susan first crossed each other’s paths back in 2003 while shooting for the film Gothika, which was produced by the latter and directed by Joel Silver.
Susan served as the vice president at Silver Pictures and Gothika, which also starred Halle Berry, was a huge deal for her.
In an interview with Harper’s Bazaar, the producer said she was “not even a little bit” interested in the Iron Man star but thought he was “strange.”
Recalling one incident after meeting Robert, Susan said:
The duo started dating and soon fell in love. They tied the knot in 2005 in Amagansett, New York.
Additionally, Robert Downey Jr. has credited Susan with helping him fight his drug addiction. The Sherlock Homes producer apparently gave the star a choice between herself and drugs. While talking to Harper’s Bazaar in 2009, she said:
After Susan’s ultimatum, Robert stopped at a restaurant near the Pacific Coast Highway and threw the drugs he had into the sea.
While talking about his experience, via news outlet The Things, Robert Downey Jr. revealed that his wife helped put his dark past to rest.
After getting married in 2005, Robert Downey Jr. and Susan welcomed their son, Exton Elias, in February 2012. Two years later, in November 2014, the duo again became parents to a daughter named Avri Roel.
However, this was not the first time that Robert Downey Jr. had tied the knot. He was previously married to singer Deborah Falconer from 1992 to 2004. The former duo share a son named Indio Falconer Downey.
