NEW YORK, May 5 (UPI) -- Robert Downey Jr. said that even as he battled drug addiction several years ago he could see himself one day starring in a big Hollywood film like "Iron Man."
Asked if he could imagine himself playing a superhero seven or eight years ago, the "Iron Man" star told UPI before the film's release: "Sure. I could always picture myself in the best possible position. Also, sometimes, these things are like, you know, astronomy. Some things just don't line up until they line up."
