After more than a decade in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Tony Stark/Iron Man, filming “Oppenheimer” was definitely an adjustment for Robert Downey Jr. In fact, the actor joked Wednesday that the experience was actually “a wonderfully rude awakening.”
Following his Oscar nomination for his lead role in “Oppenheimer” — his third Oscar nomination ever — Downey stopped by “The View” to discuss his time on the film, as well as his new book “Cool Food.” While there, the actor praised the fact that “movies are back” and “things are kind of something like normal” after the strike, and he regaled the ladies with stories of his time on set.
