He may be Iron Man, but he prefers Bob...

Joe Rogan Experience

Joe Rogan has had some simply stellar names grace his podcast over the years and there's something for everybody in his outstanding back catalogue of unfiltered conversations.

Whether he's smoking weed with Elon Musk, unpacking the mysteries of the universe with Neil deGrasse Tyson or creating greater awareness for mental health issues with Tyson Fury, Rogan has been able to extract countless gems from some of the biggest celebrities on the planet.

But, even he must have pinched himself when he found out that none other than Iron Man himself, Robert Downey Jr., would be making an appearance on his uber popular podcast.

With Rogan's relaxed snowball approach to these recorded conversations, the pair could literally spend hours digging into the film industry, MMA, their backgrounds and the upsides of growing old.

Luckily for us, they still managed to do all that, but they did it in just over an hour of unfiltered goodness.

Is Downey going blind?

Will he ever return as Iron Man?

Does he think that anyone will ever get the chance to play a dude, playing a dude, disguised as another dude, again?

Well, there's only one way to find out...

10. His Eyesight Is Going

Literally as soon as Joe Rogan kicked off the whole thing, the pair were discussing how RDJ's eyesight was starting to dwindle.

After admitting that he tried the first pair just to see what the difference would be, RDJ confessed that he kept upping his lenses to the point that he now has more spectacles than he can count.

This may genuinely come as a surprise to fans who thought that RDJ simply wore his eclectic specs as a bit of a fashion statement.

Despite the obvious impedance, he has managed to see the lighter side of his diminishing sense and poked fun at having to make the most obscure faces imaginable in order to read everyday trivial things such as labels and prescriptions.

He may still boast the looks of a man ten years his junior, but time sadly waits for no man...not even Iron Man...sorry.
