Robert Downey Jr. is one of the most sought-after and highly paid actors in Hollywood. The whole world knows him, especially for such a role as Iron Man from the film of the same name, based on Marvel comics. In this article, we will not reveal all the ins and outs of the famous and brutal actor, but will only tell about his family and children.

Who is Robert Downey Jr?

First of all, this is the adopted son of the famous independent director Robert Downey Sr. Thanks to his father, although not by blood, the boy was able to follow a creative path and starred in his first film at the age of five.

The stepfather raised Robert from early childhood, and therefore was able to instill in him a love of art. Moreover, the boy really had the potential and talent that needed only to be developed. Robert Downey Jr is an actor with a capital letter who was not afraidleft high school behind and embarked on an acting career that would make him the richest and most sought-after actor in the film industry. It remains now to guess whether all the children of Robert Downey Jr. can choose the path that their father mastered?

The family and wives of a brilliant actor

Robert Downey Jr. has been married twice in his entire life, apart from the fleeting romances that are so popular among Hollywood actors. The first marriage was with Deborah Falconer, from whom the actor had a son, Indio Falconer Downey. Despite their strong marriage and fairly long relationship, Robert and Deborah officially divorced in 2001.

Two years later, the actor met another equally wonderful actress, who later became his new wife and mother of two children. Susan Downey became the actor's wife in 2005 and gave birth to a boy, Axton Elias Downey, and a girl, Avri Roel Downey.

Indio Falconer: hobbies, legal troubles

The children of Robert Downey Jr. stand out from the crowd from early childhood. Indio Falconer was endowed with his father's charisma and inherited the same acting talent. As a 12-year-old boy, Indio made his first film appearance in Kiss Bang Bang in 2005.

Later the child found his way and joined the musical group The Jack Bambies. Despite his good-looking appearance, Indio, in his 20s, has already been in a prison cell. The yellow press qualifies the act of the "golden" child, nothing more than a predisposition to adventure and problems with the law, which he inherited from his father.

Until 2015 the name IndioFalconer was discussed with great intensity, because the eldest son of Robert Downey Jr. was repeatedly arrested by law enforcement officers for possession and use of cocaine.

Indio was born in 1993 (September 7). Despite the fact that the marriage of Robert and Deborah broke up at the beginning of the 21st century, the star son was never deprived of attention from his father. The paparazzi have repeatedly recorded the joint pastime of Robert and Indio.

Exton Elias: the baby who saved the marriage

The second son of Robert Downey Jr. was born in 2012 (February 7). Despite the fact that the marriage was concluded in 2005, all this time Robert was undergoing treatment, and then rehabilitation from alcohol and drug addiction. All fans know that the actor has always been an eccentric and adventurous person, which is why he often had problems with law enforcement.

Thanks to his second wife and the birth of his son, Robert was able to subdue his ardor and become almost an ordinary family man who still continues to delight his fans with confident and bright roles.

Avri Roel: the long-awaited girl in the Downey family

If Robert Downey Jr. talked about each son in all sorts of interviews, then after the birth of his daughter in 2014 (November 4), the actor independently posted dozens of posts on all social networks to share the happy news. Now on the Internet you can find only brief information about the youngest children of the Downey family, but true fans of Hollywoodactors are sure that in the future they will have the same charisma as their father.

Facts from the life of the actor

The yellow press is still wondering how the actor's life could have turned if he had succumbed to female charms in his youth. For example, between 1984 and 1991, Robert openly flirted with Sarah Jessica Parker. Their romance lasted three years, but even at that time all the acquaintances of the actor were sure that sooner or later their relationship could develop into something more. However, everyone was surprised when Deborah Falconer became the first wife of the restless Robert.

Now it only remains to be seen how the second son of Robert Downey Jr. Exton will behave and whether he and Avery will inherit those traits of his father's character that have repeatedly brought him to court and custody. But all Robert's fans are sure that thanks to a new wave of popularity, which may have saved the actor from bad and harmful habits, the younger children will not face the fate of their father. This does not apply to eldest son Indio, who still does not deny that his lifestyle was completely copied and taken from Robert Downey Jr.
