Blame him for what? He just walked out, kept a smile, wasn't rude at any point. The journalist on the other hand kept twisting the question like it was a huge deal.

The old guys face at the end says everything

"Oh I'm just asking questions" No, you are being highly intrusive and you can't take an easily identifiable hint. Your interviewee has the right to say or not say whatever they want to, you are on their time, not the other way around. Now in general, people can say or not say whatever they want, but in this specific scenario, it'd be in your best interest to be sociable and open, given that this is your job, mate.

Also this interview was 8 years ago. It’s not been pointed out in the comments that RDJ got sober in 2003. And the interviewer asks him if he’s really done with all of that? He’s been sober for 13 years at that point, what a dumbass question. First he shouldn’t have asked that question because the interview was not about his past personal life struggles but a movie promo. Second of all, you don’t ask that question and I don’t know if he meant to frame it how he did - but it seems clear from his body language and language that he didn’t know what he was talking about and just wanted to get some sensationalism out of the interview. Pathetic journalistic integrity.

6:17...You can see how his mood changed when he started to talk about his father. His face went straight and his breathing went heavy. I applaud the fact that RDJ didn't start a fight or get nasty with him. He just left and removed himself from the situation.

C'mon man, you KNEW you were crossing a line. Thumbs down to interviewer and thumbs up to RDJ for walking out!

He is a class act. The interviewer was clearly trying to act like a douche, and rdj wasnt having it. There is a right way to ask questions, and a wrong way. He took a demeaning tone and looked down his nose at him, and as a former alcoholic, you don't demean them after they have changed. It isnt wrong to ask about the past and lessons learned but you dont do it the way he did. Downey had every right to be upset, but he kept his composure.

He was completely right to walk out. This questions were absolutely rude and definetely not what the interview was meant for. No one should get treated with such disrespect.

RDj is pure class, he exudes so much tolerance and grace, even when some berk is dredging up his ancient past history that no-one touches anymore. Robert is way beyond it now and has proven he is a stable, successful and classy individual ;a sheer lack of professionalism & pure rudeness on behalf of Guru Murthy and a complete lack of tact and good taste too. Robert behaves like a true gent with an open and honest heart, isn't it about time that this level of intrusive and hurtful " journalism " was consigned to the past ? I certainly think so, Robert will always be a Bright Shining Star !

He was promoting a movie. And classic media tries to sabotage it, not for the movie or roberts sake but for their own personal gain and views 🤦‍♂️.

The worst thing about this is that Robert Downey jr tried to save this interview a couple of times by diverting the attention away from his private life and back to his new movie. He also tried to play it off as a joke. He gave this interviewer so many outs and opportunities to read the room and change his course, it’s ridiculous. When he realised that that wouldn’t happen he set his boundaries. Good for him!

It was impressive how RDJ stayed gracious and poised, when the interviewer tried to pry about Downey's personal life. Too bad that the interviewer did not stop that line of questioning.

4:00 you can tell this is the moment the interviewer went into questions that Downey wasn't privy to, Robert is just like "wtf is going on here, this isn't what I signed up for"

You can see that he was trying to explain that his views changed&how they dont apply to what he thinks. He handled it quite politely. Im surprised how that guy just over steps the interview&asks inappropriate questions.

He handled it so well, I felt terrible for him though. You could see how uncomfortable he was but he gave the guy some humor instead of lashing out. RDJ is such a classy man!

"and you're kind of a Shmuck..."

One tip, never mention a person past

The interviewer is in the same team with the lady who interviews jordan peterson, no wonder it’s a joke. You can see how much Robert was holding back by his puffing his chest

I love how Robert Downey Jr. knew where the interviewer was going and was hoping the interviewer wasn’t going there. He’s just so smart about people!

RDJ has so much emotional intelligence. I applaud him for knowing his own limit and standing up well before it was over. Good for him. Much respect.

RDJ handled that like a true gentleman and professional.

Why do people insist on bringing up his past. Look at the accomplishments he's done now. He is a good man and I have deep respect for him. Love you RDJ and always will. Live your best life. Good for you for walking out gracefully. ❤❤❤❤❤

3:50 Laughs, slightly nervously 4:03 Smile vanishes, looks at publicist for reassurance, publicist says keep rolling, nothing too weird right now. Smiles again, more nervously, just for the camera. 4:18 Starts to breathe faster. Gives a close-ended answer and hints the interviewer to move on. 4:58 "Are we promoting a movie?" Looks at publicist silently: "Where is he going with this?" Agent's like yeah RDJ, this guy's going off tangent. 5:37 Coughs nervously, fidgets in his seat, looks around the room. "You have as much time as anyone else." Tight closed smile. Eyes staring hard. (At this point interviewer should have apologised gracefully and continued to talk about the movie instead of dwelling on RDJ'S personal past, which is ancient history to the rest of the world.) 5:50 Looks around the room again. It's obvious RDJ doesn't want to be there anymore. 5:57 "Your foot's starting to jump a little bit", you better get to your next question." Stares harder. Smile all but gone. Point of no return for the interviewer - there's no graceful way out of this. 6:15 Obviously hyperventilating now. Belligerent face that says "Dude you're this close to getting punched in the nose if I had my way. We're done here." 6:30 "I'm sorry, I really don't...w-what are we doing?" Looks at publicist, "let's end this". "Right...bye!" 6:40 Interviewer looks at him like a complete lemon as he gets up. 6:48 "You seem okay, it's just getting a little Diane Sawyer in here." Awesome repartée insult. In short: Krishnan has no clue how to read body language. The man has the interviewing skills of a peanut. I'm surprised he still has a job in the broadcasting industry as at 2022.

This would make a good video showing text around those points of the interview.

The question isn't exactly offensive, but it's very personal, and just because someone is a celebrity doesn't mean they have to be an open book to everyone. Everyones past is there past, the only people who need to remember it are the ones who lived though it!

Some people will never let you live down your past. 🤷‍♂️. They will re-hash it forever.

Best advice I can give this interviewer. Read the room

This is why the celebrities are put with real comic book/movie fans for interviews

The interviewer was getting disrespectful. It was very clear he was aware he was crossing a line, when he started to hesitate and stutter with his questions but he went through with it anyway.

6:56 I love how the cameraman looks at him like: "You blew it, man!"

I think this was the whole point of the interview, it's what that 'journalist' does. They get far more views from treating their guests appallingly.

He handled it the right way.

As the years go by I've noticed that people often begin to look like on the outside what they are inside. Master class by RDJ!

In spite of how rude this interviewer was, Robert handled this very well. He had every right to get angry at him about his demeanour but he kept cool and professional all of the way through and left respectfully, hats off to him.

He didn’t even get angry. He just left the situation. He didn’t want to talk publicly about those topics. Which is his choice to make.

He kept control of his anger, one thing I myself wouldn't be able to do if I was in that situation... Kudos to RDJ!

Always remembered him from his first film from 1984 with James Spader in Tuff Turf,in real life he went through a period like the character he played in the 1987 film Less than Zero,which also starred James Spader.Marvel movies revived his career,made him almost as wealthy as the most successful young actor from the 80s,Tom Cruise.
