at 57 years, Robert Downey Jr. revolutionizes social networks, not because of a new character far removed from Iron Man, but because of his slim build that makes him look older.
The Sherlock Holmes actor uploaded three photos to his account Instagram where he shows his toned muscles, but the sharp face that gives the feeling that the glasses are too big for him.
Under the hat he wears his gray hair is visible and when he smiles his facial muscles are extremely developed.
“It’s hard to see you age,” wrote user Latifaafh.
The actor’s fans were quick to explain that Downey’s current condition stems from filming Oppenheimer, a film that will follow the story of a scientist developing the atomic bomb.
In the project, directed by Christopher Nolan (Batman), the actor has to play Lewis Strauss, the former US Secretary of Commerce.
In leaked photos from the shoot, Downey can be seen with thinning hair and gray shaved on his forehead to simulate a certain baldness.
Others have expressed that his natural hair color is gray, but he dyed it in red and gold armor for the Avenger.
The photos uploaded by the actor are said to be promoting a range of t-shirts and a special edition nod to Earth Day.
The two-time Oscar nominee and BAFTA winner for his work on Chaplin is in post-production on All-Star Weekend, directed by Jamie Foxx.
