Because you can really feel how much they value each other’s contribution to the relationship they share in the second movie they’re starring in together, “Sherlock Holmes 2: A Game of Shadows” that premieres in theaters in a few weeks…

“Last time around, there was, for some reason or other, that wave of ‘bromance’ in the air. I don’t think when you see this, you’ll feel that we’ve restrained ourselves at all,”

Oscar-nominee Downey, Jr. admits.

“Truth be told, the bottom line with these stories, it’s about this one man’s observation of this other man who tells him that he is the only true friend he has and him realising that he is the only person that he is actually very, very close to besides his wife. I think that that’s just a great theme. The bottom line is that we are in this love together.”

His co-star and bromance partner, English actor Jude Law who plays Watson,  agrees.

“The brother theme is really strong in this one actually. That’s when [Noomi Rapace] gets involved, too. There is a theme or a demand later on in this film where it questions one’s reliance on someone else and can you really trust someone?”

But what really piques our interest is something that Downey, Jr. says about his very physical encounters with Law in this “Sherlock Holmes” sequel that’s due out December 16:

“Oh, you are going to love this – we like getting sweaty together. I mean, we like working our a**** off. We like to work.”

And we’re getting sweaty just thinking about it. Take a look at the trailer and see what we mean…

Burdened by accusations of anti-Semitism, drunken and disorderly conduct, DUI charges, racial slurs, as well as domestic abuse, Mel isn’t Hollywood’s…or anyone’s…favorite person these days. The Oscar winning actor’s been branded an industry pariah, with his recent film “The Beaver” bombing at the box office. He’s been dropped from a lot of film projects, including “The Hangover 2″, as well.

“I urge you to forgive my friend his trespasses,”

Downey Jr. said to the audience, followed by loud applause.

“Allow him to pursue this art without shame.”

The “Iron Man” star has had his own long bout with drugs and alcoholism, and after his stint in prison on drug charges which made him uninsurable to work in films, Mel Gibson paid for a broke Downey‘s insurance bond to ensure he got aboard on the  2003 film, “The Singing Detective”.  Downey has come to pay back the favor.

“He kept a roof over my head and put food on my table,”

Downey told star news, recalling that all the “Passion of the Christ” director asked was for him to pay it forward.

“It is reasonable to assume he didn’t know the next guy would be him,”

Downey joked.

So now that Mel has been backed up by his friends, Jodie Foster and Robert Downey, Jr., will it be enough to carry him up from this lowest point in his life?

Balu is a cone-head, he somewhat got injured during the movie and had to go to the hospital for treatment!

Robert Downey Jr is somewhat a douchebag in the movie who’s flying back to his pregnant wife who’s due date is only days away; and Zach, believe it or not is an aspiring actor ha who’s the master of Balu. Somehow their paths crossed and they had to do a cross country road trip together! I tell you anything with Robert Downey Jr has to be good.

Isn’t Balu ever-so cute? I have a Westie and in real life, he has a cone over his head because he just got fixed.. oops! These cone-heads are soooo cute!

More pictures of Terrence and Robert after the tiff…

Don Cheadle got the role for Iron Man 2, which isn’t getting as many rave reviews. Coincidence? E! Online caught up with Howard after the premier two weeks ago.

“Despite the customary idea or thought that there’s some controversy, it was a wonderful split and I know that they’ve done well,” Howard claimed. “Robert Downey Jr. was born to play that part and it was wonderful that that part has given him the stature that he was supposed to hold before.”

Howard then went on to take credit for helping Downey land the comic book hero.

“For me to have recommended him, it means all the more so that I helped someone get to where they are supposed to go,” the Crash star continued. “Marvel and I are now talking about doing some other things. And Don Cheadle wanted to play that part before I wanted to play it, so everything is very well.”

Well, Robert has sure turned himself around, don’t ya think? And he won’t comment on the switch, meaning he is taking the high road. But Terrence seemed to take all the credit, didn’t he?

more Robert Downey Jr.’s drug history after the jump…

When one comes to hear his story, it’s really sad. Downey Jr. said his father Robert Downey Sr. has given him drug since he was 8 years old and didn’t stop there. Tell me, can you really blame him for having been addicted to drugs? What kind of a father would give drugs to his own kid or even someone else’s kids? Sad.

Downey Jr says ”When the door clicks shut, then you are safe,” “There is nothing aside from a rogue correctional officer that can do you harm if you have the right cellie. You are actually in the safest place on Earth. Safe from the intruders.”

For Downey, his intruders were his drug addictions.

He told Rolling Stone in a recent interview:”Smoking dope and smoking coke, you are rendered defenseless. The only way out of that hopeless state is intervention.”

Robert, who’s recovered from drug addictions is looking forward to the future which includes growing old with his wife, Susan Downey.

Bravo Robert, you’ve come a long way.

Isn’t it so easy to point finger but the truth usually tells a whole lot more?

more Downey Jr. Before and After shots after the jump…

Downey Jr. is 45 and heck, he really doesn’t look that young to me, does he look super young to you? We all know that Robert has suffered a serious drug addiction in the past and serious drug use would make you age big time, wouldn’t it?

It doesn’t look like Downey Jr. has gone under the knife to me.

I’ve uploaded a few pictures of Downey Jr. back in 2003, he looks like he’s going through the cycle of getting a bit older, he doesn’t look to have had plastic surgery to me, does he to you?

more Downey and his tell-all after the jump…

Downey Jr. says he felt the safest he’s ever been when behind bars. Robert spent time in jail between 1996 and 2001 for drug use and drug possession.

Denver Post reports, Downey Jr says ”When the door clicks shut, then you are safe,”  “There is nothing aside from a rogue correctional officer that can do you harm if you have the right cellie. You are actually in the safest place on Earth. Safe from the intruders.”

For Downey,his intruders were his drug addictions; which unbelievably started when his father, Robert Downey Sr., reportedly started giving him drugs when he was just 8 years old, and didn’t stop.

In the new Rolling Stone interview, Downey Jr., 45, talks about everything from doing cocaine with his dad and even with Jack Nicholson, to his eventual downfall into heroin addiction. That is really sad.

Downey says when he was low, he was feeling very low.

He told Rolling Stone:”Smoking dope and smoking coke, you are rendered defenseless. The only way out of that hopeless state is intervention.”

Robert, who’s recovered from drug addictions is looking forward to the future  namely “Iron Man 2″ and growing old with his wife, Susan Downey.

Bravo, Robert! And seriously what sick dad/parent would give their kids or anyone’s kids drugs? At the age of 8?

More details after the hop…

The incident with Robert occurred when another co-star, who happens to be a 7 foot tall wrestler named Robert Maillet, caught him accidentally on the chin.

The Sun says:

Downey Jr — who plays the famous detective — was “out cold” for six seconds and “drooling blood” before medics could bring him round.

There has also been a tanker explosion and another injury incident with an extra.  What next?
