15 Best Acted Scenes In MCU Movies

As anyone who has had a breakdown in a public place can tell you, it’s basically all your worst nightmares condensed into one. Everything’s made much, much worse by the fact that nobody really wants an audience for their panic attack, making the whole thing feel even bleaker as you try to contain the uncontainable.

This is exactly what makes RDJ’s anxiety attack acting so damn good. The normally tall and proud Tony Stark isn’t the first person you’d expect to suddenly break into cold sweats and panic – yet his immediate fight-or-flight reaction makes it such a believable moment.

The genuine bewilderment on his face when he’s told it was an anxiety attack makes it feel all the more real, as an awful realisation hits both hero and viewers that Iron Man is just as susceptible to fear and neurosis as the rest of us.
