Robert Downey Jr. was on the UK's Channel 4 News recently when the Marvel's Avengers: Age of Ultron star was taken aback by interviewer Krishnan Guru-Murthy's uncomfortable line of questioning.
The trouble starts when Krishnan asks the 50-year-old actor about a quote he gave The New York Times regarding his political beliefs after going to prison.
"You can't go from a $2,000-a-night suite at La Mirage to a penitentiary and really understand it and come out a liberal," Downey Jr. told The Times, of which Krishnan referenced.
After the actor politely answers that he is unable to speak to a quote he gave years ago, he asks, "Are we promoting a movie?"
That's when Krishnan and Robert dance around for awhile longer before Krishnan finally asks Downy Jr. about his father, and the "dark period" in his life
