Everybody loves Robert Downey Jr., right?

Well, everyone except for actress Halle Berry, maybe, who has a legitimate reason for holding a lifetime grudge against everyone's favourite Marvel superhero, on account of the fact that he once broke her arm.

On the set of 2003 psychological horror flick Gothika, Downey Jr. went a bit too far and legitimately snapped his co-star's bone when they were shooting a scene together involving a struggle between their characters. This resulted in the set being shut down for eight weeks whilst Berry recovered.

No, he obviously didn't do it on purpose, but you've got to wonder why he was being quite so aggressive in the first place. Maybe he realised how bad a movie Gothika was going to be and thought this might have gotten him out of it?

Anyway, Berry is still reported to be peeved about the whole thing. Understandably.
