Genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist... american actor, producer and musician. An extraordinary, charismatic and eccentric personality in life. "Bad Hollywood Boy" managed to survive more than one turn in his life, which made him a frequent hero of the yellow press.

Can you trust your inner voice if in the morning, when you need to go to work, it says that you need to sleep?

Robert Downey Jr.

Another person is like hugging a cactus. We all have to hug cacti. It is important to believe that it is necessary, to learn to find pleasure in it, and one day, when you really need it, someone will hug you.
