7. Robert Downey Jr Bails On A Channel 4 Interview
Again, this is an issue that is likely to illicit some very distinct (and quite passionate) responses from different people, so first let's look at the facts. During a 2015 interview with Channel 4 news presenter Krishnan Guru-Murthy, Robert Downey Jr became irritated by the line of questioning and left the interview early. Guru-Murthy who had a similar encounter with Quentin Tarantino when discussing the link between movie violence and real life violence was asking Downey Jr about the relationship between Tony Stark's portrayal and Downey Jr's own troubled past. Things went downhill, and Downey Jr began asking whether or not they were there to promote Avengers: Age Of Ultron. He subsequently left a couple minutes before Guru-Murthy's time was up. Whether it was a case of Downey Jr's promoters not doing adequate research (Guru-Murthy has never purported to be solely an entertainment journalist), Downey Jr having a rough day or him simply not wanting to discuss the past, we'll likely never know, but the moment sparked a furious amount of discussion on and offline, and prompted a number of passionate defences on both sides. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALBwaO-rAsE
