Burger King Saved Robert Downey Jr.'s Life

In 2003, Robert Downey Jr. was driving down PCH in California with a ton of "fucking dope" in the car when he suddenly decided to stop at Burger King for a meal. He said eating one of their burgers made him turn his life around.

He said, "I have to thank Burger King. It was such a disgusting burger I ordered. I had that, and this big soda, and I thought something really bad was going to happen."

He immediately dumped all his drugs into the ocean and decided to clean up his act. Somewhere in the Pacific Ocean, there's a bunch of cracked out sea creatures looking for their next fix.

Robert said he used the experience for a scene in "Iron Man" when his character asks for a burger after escaping the terrorists.

Something bad usually does happen after eating Burger King. Just ask my bowels.

He can In-N-Out my burger, anyday.

In heaven, everything is fine. You've got your good things, and I've got mine.

He may have just got through the line at In-N-Out burger, but at least the help there speaks English.

If he had pulled into the drive-thru at "In-N-Out" in 2003, he'd be getting up to the window right about now.

they try to make me eat at BK's but I say NO, NO, NO....

RDJ is the hottest man on the fucking planet

BK is the grossest! (well, actually, it's been about 15 years since I've eaten any of that crap, so I might not be the most objective...)

@ Stock: how right you are! Even the smell makes me HEAVE any more!

@ everybody who thinks RDJ is panty-pudding-making: TOTALLY AGREE! SQUEEEEE!

This would either explain that gross product placement moment in Iron Man or it's a brilliant little "Fuck You" to BK for having to shill so obviously in the middle of an otherwise good movie.

I have to admit the whooper is my occasional guilty pleasure. On the other hand I can't stand big macs. McDonalds sucks.

All that Burger King goodness probably flushed the drugs out of his body. It always flushes anything out of mine.

Maybe I should send my cracked out ex-boyfriend to Burger King to straighten out his life. If it worked for RDJr. why not my skank?

I wish Burger King would save my life, too. They were talking about Robert Downey Jr at celebrityprayerlist.com too.

I went to BK the other night, I was craving a cheeseburger. Must've been b/c I saw Iron Man a few times. J/K! I actually had the most disgusting burger. It was some sort of baked potatoe and bacon on top of a weak unidentifiyable burger. I had to throw it out and up! I'm a sucker for onion rings though

WonkEye's picture

It's lunchtime and I'd cut a bitch for a whopper.
But those onion rings hang around for days.

Burger King is the new rehab?

It's funny how no matter what drug you're on, when you're picking up a nasty fast food combo for the 15th consecutive meal, there's something in the human brain that just kicks in and gives you that "What the fuck am I doing with my life?" feeling. Lesson learned: drugs and fast food can motivate you to reach for the stars!

LOL true!! or when you doin so MUCH of the drug [aka high tollerance] when you smoke, smoke, smoke just to maintain the high.

I've had those thoughts, but not in the BK drive-thru LOL

PS: I recently found out that BK sells TACOS [yes!] but I never tried them.

Malibu is probably the safest place to surf because of the cracked out shark creatures, and the steady supply of drugs from rich celebrities contemplating a life change...

Now what do we do about the rest of these ravenous angry at man creatures? Hmmm

Everyone..dump your drugs in the ocean..now.

Of course, high in the frozen glaciers of the Hinterland, we do not worry about the shark creatures. We do have our own version of the forest Sasquatch/Abominable Snowman though .....

Only a near death experience such as eating at BK could save his life. I'm waiting to hear for the announcement for the musical.

RDJ kicks ass!!!

SweetPollyPurebred's picture

Funny how you can put all manner of illegal poisons in your body, but it's the nasty fast food that finally makes you say no mas. RDJ is the very hotness. I need a cold shower now.

Love RDJ but I saw Iron Man yesterday and didn't love it.

I hate you all, your mom's a whore.

Shaniquanaynay's picture

I loved Iron Man. I have such a huge crush on RDJ again. That man is just the hotness.

DeeDee's picture

Good to know BK is good for something. I'm so glad RDJ cleaned himself up.

Blech, I hate Burger King now. One time when I was stoned, my brother, boyfriend, and I went to a drive in movie and gorged ourselves on Whoppers. After that, no more BK. The movie we watched, Last Action Hero. Shitty movie, crappy toliet times.

Ironman fucking rules...or at least until Dark Knight comes out in July, then will see the battle of the hotness, I suggest oil ring match.

OT: glad that Downey Jr. got his shit together, it's a continuing struggle, a confusing and hard one to booth, but many of his fans (including myself) will always applaud whatever effort he makes to stay out of drugs.

RDJ Keep up the good work, your looking good.

THINLY VEILED PROMOTION FOR BK. It was all over his fcuking movie (of course they paid big bucks for it) and now he's talking about it in reference to Iron Man?? (Yes, I know he is talking crap about BK, but any publicity is good publicity...)
BK? no. BS.

Well, uhmmmmmm....when I got bailed out of jail, I made my friend take me to BK at 1:30am for a whopper, fries and a milk shake.

I had been up for 3 days and refused to eat anything other than an orange in the slammer.

I WAS HUNGRY!!!!!!!

Oh, and when starving like that, that was the BEST GD burger!

"...Something bad usually does happen after eating Burger King. Just ask my bowels..."

I'll second (or third, or fourth) that - blech!
But thank you BK, for saving the scary-talented ass of RD, Jr.

I know exactly what he means. I had a very similar recovery many years ago. I was at Mickey D's tho.
