If you ever wondered what Iron Man looks like a high on cocaine, here it is

[jupap]

Bruh HIGH ASF talking bout dropalineeee”😂

[jackfrost]

“Tom drop a line” great double entendre 😂😂😂

[stevepd]

So glad this man sobered up. So much talent. Sober, he's brought so much joy to many people.

[EST]

Young RDJ looks like he could’ve been a *rlly* good joker

[matthewbecker]

If anyone is familiar with the actual Iron Man comic, especially from the eighties, you also know how fitting his casting was. Literally typecast. A beautiful redemption arc irl.

[TattyDarling]

He beat his addiction. He’s a very strong man and I’m so proud of him.

[MsRadar]

Gives “drop a line” another meaning lol

[damorblake]

Damn bro was trying so hard not to chew that invisible gum

[frankwithrow]

Yes, he is high. Let's all congratulate the man for surviving his addictions since most don't

[TestTackle]

He’s one of the few people I find a lot more entertaining once they became sober lol

[KilJoy]

I can totally see Tom cruise taking his ping pong matches way too seriously

[Djm]

Downey is one of the greatest Hollywood success stories about overcoming addiction.

[sharonlopez]

I’m so grateful he’s still with us and is free of his addiction. He had me worried back then!

[bmak]

I’m glad he finally got sober and realized his full potential. He came so close to losing everything.

[DoooBeeDoooBeeDooo]

Back in the day, he didn't need a suit to fly.

[chrishedley]

His cocaine jaw didn’t let him say “pong”

[nethinduwarapitiya]

Y'all saying he's high and I'm here thinking "man I wish I looked this charismatic in public"

[wellington]

no wonder tom never called back. ironically tom refusing the iron man role gave rdjr his most iconic character.

[DannyRedCheeks]

His jaw is going nonstop He is geeked up beyond belief
