      @@underratedunity1528 I'm referring to the drug use. Sr started sharing drugs with RDJ when Jr was only 6 or 8 years old. RDJ has described it as the only way his dad knew how to bond with him. And it wasn't limited to marijuana. RDJ spent over 2 years of his life serving time in jail and prison because of the addiction, not to mention time spent in rehab. That info comes from interviews that RDJ has done over the years, so it's not too hard to verify.

    RDJ has played Tony Stark as a resentful son who didn't get to spend a lot of time with his father. As that same character, he was also a loving father who had to leave his daughter to save the world. RDJ has also portrayed a complex father-son relationship in The Judge, and he also played Chaplin, who was abandoned by his father at a very young age. When I see this series, I think I'm gonna be reminded of all these past roles and it's gonna be very emotional

      Probably the reason I'm in my early 40s and still have no family nor children, because I think I'm much like him and don't want to do the same to others.

    Robert Downey, Jr. I have been watching you for years. Hands down. This documentary speaks volumes of your heart and soul. The love of your parents, upbringing and love for your foundation and roots in life. I lost my mother in March 4, 2021. Two months later, lost dad, May 4, 2021. Four months later I lost my brother, Sept, 2021. Unexpectedly broken in two, I retired May 2022 after teaching for almost 4 decades. Time slips by. Kudos and Bravo to you, dear man. I love how you have made lemonade out of the lemons in your life. Being grateful turns it all around . Your father and mother are delightful, and honest. I adore and love your work and devotion. Warm wishes for staying the course...

Then 2 weeks later his back hurt, turned out after radiation there were 12 more different places the day before Father's Day, they gave him 12-18 months. He died 4 days later, not 12-18 months.

    After a decade of living on the other side of the country to my dad, we built up a really good relationship during covid. I ended up moving home to be closer to him in March 2021, uprooted my career and made the journey back. Our relationship was really good. At the end of July 2021 he passed very suddenly. It absolutely broke me, but in my grief I discovered from his wife that he and I had been so similar, in personality and behaviour, but I never knew. I keep a box of his things to remind me that I was never alone, there was one more like me. Really looking forward to this movie.
