Damn computer triple post sorry everyone

Actors need to stop moaning, wish i could live the sweet life!

If Sherlock Holmes is as retarded as it looks this might not be such a bad idea for awhile.

as much as I like Robert Downey Jr. I get what he says, movie making is more hard than it looks and the guy has a busy scheduale (Spelling?) anyway he wants to just be with his wife, live his life instead of working, I'd be extremely happy to see him in more movies...I guess if he quits in 10 years I'd understand, at least he is not quiting right now he just saying that he wants to quiet down a little.

oh sure.........he is on top of his game right now and what could be a better time to quit than this????
just dont do this and keep making gr8 movies

till the money run's out

just make more 'iron man' sequels...you can rest between...and stay away from the white powder

WP i really hate these articles. "(Actor's Name) To Quit Acting? enough already

fuck, I undestand what he's saying but fuck, what about iron man, avengers and sherlock.


PEACE!

Quitting acting is not being busy for the next 10 years

you bet your sweet ass it aint

In other words, he's got all this money and he wants to go out and enjoy spending it.
Can't blame him.

He's one of the new school old best if that makes sense. Ya know? The Arnold, Willis, Stalone of this century. haha

Outside of playing Ironman he wouldn't be missed.

I really like him, but to be honest I like most of his movies before the became the star in blockbusters better than ones like Ironman. I do like Ironman, but I like some of his older stuff.

he's not going to quit, just like all the others aren't going to quit. Take a break sure, but never act again? ha!
I saw an interview with Mortensen a week or so ago and he addressed the rumors about him quitting and he laughed it off saying it's not true, that he just has other interests he wants to pursue, but he will continue to act in movies.

@johndillinger - exactly... this isn't news of any sort.

RDJ will quit acting... some day. No shit!

They do this to jack up their price (Shatner did this piss n' moan story after EVERY Trek film).

RDJ sounds like a typical depression case. Was on drugs in the past because 'his future was uncertain' - same thing he says here. Now his future is guaranteed... he still bitches.

Go read your fucking book Bob, go fucking paint something. He wants out because he's been under a microscope since Iron Man, actually had a word schedule for the past few years and his nose is missing the blow.

@warlord - exactly... 'til the money runs out.

LOL it's the joke of the year!

I understand where RDJr is coming from, Im sure he wants to quit on a high note, but he is kickin ass as an actor again and I'd hate to see him retire...but that's on him

I like how quickly people interpret what he said as he's going to quit acting. Come on people. He's got at least 2 more Iron Man movies to do, at least one sequel to Sherlock Holmes is imminent, the Avengers which won't even be around till (best case scenario) 2012, and whatever sequels that spawns. RDJ isn't going anywhere for a long time, unless he falls off the wagon.

I'll bet he WANTS to fall off the wagon. This is the most 'responsible' he's been with his career ever... and I'll bet the pressure is getting to him (understandably). But people can't turn down the kinds of $'s they get offered (understandably).

And you're right... I too think he's around 'til he falls off the wagon.

he better not fucking bail now, we still got iron man 3, the avengers, and possibly a iron man 4 on the way, it will suck if we get a new tony stark

just like he quit smack.

Why? He's on a roll.....

Good actor and talks alot of sense. Would prefer him to stick around.

For me, he dragged Tropic Thunder to the finish. I would not have watched that film if it was not for his awesome part.

Yes, cause making millions to read out loud for 6 months is such a tough job. I enjoy his acting but if he quits it isn't the end of the world.

Whatever works RDJ, you've earned it. But I've got to tell you, the powder usually comes calling when you've got a lot of time on your hands. Stay off the slopes Sherlock!!!

Best said SAC.

Those other actors, I couldve cared less about, but Robert Downey Jr. is my favorite actor so now this is serious. He better not quit, the man is a legend, go back to his earlier movies, he is unbelievable in Chaplin and Natural Born Killers, and now he is a finally a leading man and he is just as amazing. Hes gotta stay acting for at least another 10 years before even considering retiring

They don't quit these jobs... they can't afford to (spending habits). The only way someone leaves Hollywood is you're washed-up (and RDJ is at his peak... so that's not a concern) or via death (which is with RDJ considering his past).

Hopefully he's smarter these days.

Is he taking drugs again?

I doubt he ever stopped Rich.
