Actually as a former opiate addict of 10 years, and a fentanyl addict of 2: I am quite proud when I git reminded of my past, Cause I’m happy of what I overcame. And not shy to say it, Some of the people I knew are dead, And some are in Prison, I wouldn’t be offended. 1 year sober here I come!
Literally there could have been other things he could have made a light joke about but not that. RDJ has worked hard for years to move forward from his past. Why joke about it? Jimmy Kimmel needs new writers or should never host again.
Downey's story not one to mock but to honor. Man who went to lowest of lows. Went to jail. Got himself clean and had a second career after it. It's story of redemption
wtf are you talking about...he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth as his father was a famous actor too. he started at the top, became a junkie, and then strived back at the top...he had a small dip in his life at one point. never was he at the lowest of lows.
Drug addiction is no joke, I lost my best friend this year from it. This actor should be praised for overcoming addiction and having a successful career.
Yeah, that joke was a little bit too far. But RDJ really deserved the Oscar for the first time in his career. Jimmy wasn’t mind being offended with the addiction joke.
I thought they went smoother without a host. All I care about is who wins. With Kimmel, it went too far in 2018 when he interrupted the ceremony to crash an early screening of Wrinkle in Time at the theater across the street
@@brimo920 I actually haven't watched the Oscars since 2022 due to me not being able to get local broadcast channels. And I enjoy seeing who wins the awards, so I'm still going to pay attention to what happens regardless. I just don't think the Oscars is the best place for hosts to just think they can get away with doing whatever they want
Okay, I lole'd, even LMAO'ed,, but it's true. I loved watching late night shows like Conan (The Librarian) O'Brien, Craig Fergusson ( and Geoff), The guy with all the cars ..Jay something and David Letterperson. Jimmy has just never made me laugh, he might be a great guy, but he is NOT funny, to me.-Thanks for joining to my TED talk ;)
JK obviously doesn't realize what it takes to make real life change for the better, perhaps one day down the line someone can talk about how much of an a$$hole Jimmy used to be... That's IF he ever stops being one.
you could talk shit to %99.99999999 pecent of the people that attend the oscars and never have someone walk on stage and assault you...look what happened to smiths career. not only that an assault charge. and you just make a complete ass of yourself to a majority of your audience who you rely on for money. nobody is that stupid over a joke. not within that hollywood
As an RDJr fan I'm Glad he didn't I used to be a Will Smith fan now if anyone brings up his name I tell them I'm team Chris Rock and I will not go to the theater to support any Will Smith movies I dropped Will Smith like a bad habit and I can do the same to RDJr or anyone else that reacts to joke like that again
Actually I think he came off as a tight ass if he rolled with joke more this video wouldn't have been made and we wouldn't be talking about it now only thing he could have done worse then how he reacted is to pull a Will Smith and to jump on stage and slap him but you probably would have been fine with it if he had right 🙄
@@rustyshackleford6035 If letting people know where to get off is being a "tight ass" then I guess we're expecting entertainers to be perfect saints and not human beings ( oh wait, I guess a lot of people do ). Anyway he did handle it with professionalism, because the reason Kimmel made the joke in the first place was he knew that no matter what Downey's response was, the joke was going to get attention afterward.
That doesn't prove he's amazing. That just shows that he has basic emotional control which most of us do. It's not the norm to go around assaulting someone at an awards show!
@@melissacarterpresley5786 That's your opinion. I am not here to debate that. The person above me stated that RDJ is amazing because he didn't slap Jimmy Kimmel. My point is that that doesn't make him amazing. Most people do not slap other people at awards shows. That's a fact lol. You can google that.
Denise, you can pretend the suggestion obvious in your comment was not present but people with integrity would not buy it. You can google that. Edit to add: You are right in that most people do not slap people at awards shows, though. Maybe if there were more people doing it, there would be fewer jackasses mistakenly believing there are not consequences to actions.
The man over came one of his biggest monsters of the past to become a superstar, we should be celebrating this not repeatingly bringing it up. Its clearly a big wound for him and it should be treated as such.
@@BarkerVancity I've seen enough addicts and junkies to know that's not true and I'd argue he's more famous now than he was before and he could of ended up like Chris Farley or Marilyn Monroe. He didn't just put down a pipe, he's become a better man. He might not be the nicest guy, but there's something to be said about overcoming adversity.
RDJ has done so much since his drug use, can folks please leave it in the past. He is a phenomenal actor who does so much behind the scenes for folks. He was wonderful in Chaplin and he jumped started the MCU. I'm glad he is getting his flowers.
Kimmel was very disrespectful to Robert..I wonder what that was all about? Jealousy? Did he have a past beef with Robert? Not the time or place for that....
Jimmy Kimmel is just a clown. He's such a terrible show host, always interrupting his guests with stupid jokes, it's no wonder why he's not very liked.
I feel bad that RDJ feels his acting was inhibited by doing the MCU movies. I mean, I get where he is going with it, but the point of acting is to bring a character to life and compel the audience to have an emotional reaction to it. Most actors have one movie to make an audience connect with a character, RDJ had over a decade. We fell in love with Stark and he gave so much soul to a 2D character that he essentially took the breath out of an entire Cinematic Universe with his on-screen death. You don't do that without some serious acting chops. I'm not saying their concerns aren't legit, I just wish they could know emphatically that they're still making an impact.
He never said that. His remark at BAFTA about losing credibility was a reference to his Doolittle film, and the "it wore off" comment was in response to Leonard Maltin saying that people thought he was cool as Iron Man ( as in, people don't think he's cool anymore ). Downey's words are over analyzed and twisted around by people/media looking to start controversy.
Well, at least RDJ did not go up to the stage and slap Kimmel up side the head! Yes. The jokes early on about RDJ were VERY uncalled for and Kimmel should NEVER be called back to host another Oscars show. Nobody tells jokes about the late Oscar winning stars, Phillip Seymour Hoffman and Health Ledger. Why joke about someone who cleaned himself up and made giant strides in his life and acting career?
His addiction was his past. It harmed rdj and his cwreer, not bother people. He has learned and grown from it. Yet no one brings up other members of the Avengers cast who are still in the addiction circle?
how did it harm his career? infact his career has well boyond improved after doing drugs. hes one of the highest paid actors ever in history, an Oscar award winner, and extremely famous and popular, who was the face of one of the largest franchisees in history. none of which he had before his addiction. stalled his career, sure. negativly impacted/,no. also what other avenger actors are a junkie on heroin? the guy should own up to it and be a role modle instead of hiding it and getting triggered everytime it gets brought up
His career was greatly impacted. He worked hard to clean his act up. And then he worked hard to get his reputation back. And then he's continued to show he can be trusted now. He does not try to hide that he had a drug problem. He mentions it in every acceptance speech and then he thanks his wife for being there with and for him. He doesn't sugar coat. He walked out of that interview because he was there to promote a film not to talk about himself. The interviewer knew this but chose to ask the question anyway. RDJ just showed he wouldn't let the interviewer get away with being a bully. It is easy to judge if you don't have an addictive personally or don't know someone who does.
People expect so much from a guy who used to host a show called "the man show" so it befuddles me when people are surprised when he does anything outside of what is PC
You can tell RDJ played along, but didn't love the joke at all. It is a bit dumb to make jokes about RDJ b/c he kicked his habits years ago and now does very well. Give it a rest, it is beyond ancient history and really silly low hanging fruit.
This is really bad. Really bad.I understand people's reaction. Robert took it with grace.It's good Robert walked off the interview.He overcame so much. It's great he got Oscar. That shows to Kimmel. Well done Robert!
Really surprised Kimmel did this. I’m same age as RDJr and big fan since the 80s. I remember being afraid for him that he could never recover. RDJr is a beautiful soul and amazing actor 💖💖💖
Yeah... as you've said... we will be talking for decades about RDJ's performance... but nobody will talk about Jimmy's awkward speech. RDJ deserves the Oscar. He is one great actor. (both.... in MCU and in drama movies... and his perfect Tropic Thunder performance is history of the cinema on its own)
I'm disappointed to hear this. Jimmy should know better. I don't watch the awards show, but I gotta believe embarrassing someone can't be funny. Also, Jimmy has hosted the show a few times. He should know better.
Damn, was Kimmel trying to get slapped off that stage too or what? I'm surprised we didn't have a repeat of the Will Smith/Chris Rock incident this year, considering what a low blow Jimmy's "jokes" were.
After what happened with Chris rock and Will smith last time why didn’t anyone stop Jimmy once he started talking about RBJ’s past? He should have just talked about Oppenheimer and Marvel then compare them to winning an Oscar.
yeah right..the guy gets triggered everytime someone bring up the fact he used to be a junkie. hell walk from interviews and becomes aggressive. you think he just doesnt care this time after it was blasted on live tv while laughing at him for it? he want to hide the fact he was an addict..he doesnt talk about it.. he doesnt own up to it.. he could be an amazing role model to those trying to fight the problem he knows very well
Robert Downey Jr has risen above what he was and he should be given credit for that....beyond that, his performances on so many levels and diversity of movies has been a treasure to all movie goers!! Truly what he has become is what defines him today, not his sad past, which is well behind him. Congrats to him on his Oscar win!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Robert Downey did confirm later that the jokes were pre-approved. I still think in poor taste, but at least Downey knew they were coming and I guess it’s his way of facing it.
Well if the jokes were pre-approved then what is the issue? If RDJ found the joke offensive then he should not have approved it. Simple. Plus I don't have a lot of sympathy for RDJ. His speech wasn't great and he just came across a bit arrogant and weird. Who would call their wife their veterinarian lol?? Plus he barely acknowledged the man that gave him the Oscar. I wasn't impressed at all! So ya, I don't have a tremendous amount of sympathy for someone so full of themselves. Sorry not sorry.
Kimmel is envious and jealous of RDJ's success. That's why he brought up RDJ's past mistakes, to try and bring him down on an important night in RDJ's career. RDJ handled it like a Champ.
RDJ is an amazing actor-it’s wild to think this is his first Oscar. He’s changed a lot in his life, and has focused on recovery and staying clean. That’s why he’s my favorite actor, and why he was a role model for me when I was struggling myself. Jimmy Kimmel is literally one of the least funny people on television, in my personal opinion. Congrats on your Oscar, RDJ!
I'm an alcoholic with years sober. One we thing we learn to do in recovery is to accept but never forget our destructive past. ALSO, WE LEARN TO LAUGH ABOUT OUR PAST. We're comfortable in our own skin again and love ourselves today just as much as we love our families and friends. Our past got us to where we're at today. I promise you, Robert Downey Jr was not hurt by these jokes. He'll be alright. The dude has the best life ever! Winning Oscars and sh*t! There's no doubt he embraces his past mistakes. People need to lighten up. Life is a lot more fun when you learn to laugh yourself. Trust me 🏆
Kimmel has always been a chince. He reminds me of that one kid in Jr high school that was always peeling the scabs off of colorless conversations. Like embarrassing others was the panicle of success and the only way to gain attention for himself.
A comedians job is to tell jokes. Very few have gone their entire careers without offending someone in some way. Shows how times have changed. There used to be televised celebrity roasts…..
Yeah, I thought that was pretty low of Kimmel too. He had several jokes that didn't land, at all. Could have done without the whole John Cena thing too.
Ya the John Cena think was tres weird lol....like wtf 😂. I think that they are trying to be edgy or exciting or something but it didn't land all that well. At least there were no slaps or punches.
The fact RDJ was sitting there being nominated after the struggles he went through in the past should ONLY be a motive of inspiration…Kimmel is just a big asshole
Does no one remember how Jimmy Kimmel started his show the first couple of episodes or he was clearly on something. Before the weight loss and hair, transplants, and all that Botox and make up.
I wonder if his rambling and mocking of Donald Trump’s charges and reading his posts on Truth Social was Kimmel’s way of distancing the audience from his "joke" about RDJ’s drug addiction?
People are too sensitive. It was just a joke. These people make millions of dollars for being in the spotlight, and they can’t handle a joke at their expense??
I liked Kimmel for a bit back in the Man Show days but every since he became an interviewer I couldn't stand him. He say the most socially inept/rude things to people I've ever heard on his talk show and then he laughs like its all good fun while the other person looks at him like I'm never coming back here.

Did you think his joke went too far?
Actually as a former opiate addict of 10 years, and a fentanyl addict of 2:
I am quite proud when I git reminded of my past,
Cause I’m happy of what I overcame.
And not shy to say it,
Some of the people I knew are dead,
And some are in Prison,
I wouldn’t be offended.

Literally there could have been other things he could have made a light joke about but not that. RDJ has worked hard for years to move forward from his past. Why joke about it? Jimmy Kimmel needs new writers or should never host again.
Jokes never go to far
Nah I laughed, why can nobody take jokes anymore at the Oscars lol too pretentious
The first part was fine, but the second part was too far

He’s a source of inspiration to me as a recovery heroin addict. Life really can get better.
It maybe inspirational but should never be the point of an awards ceremony of the Oscar’s stature.

Kimmel is envious and jealous of RDJ's success. That's why he brought up RDJ's past mistakes, to try and bring him down on an important night in RDJ's career. RDJ handled it like a Champ.
Kimmel is unfunniest person on US tv. His whole look makes you feel bored
Close, but not as long as Colbert is alive.
How rude! Can’t be bothered to shake hands with your presenter
At least he didn’t slap Kimmel 😆😆😆
Does anyone know how we can take a ban towards Jimmy kimmel collectively???
RDJ is an amazing actor-it’s wild to think this is his first Oscar. He’s changed a lot in his life, and has focused on recovery and staying clean. That’s why he’s my favorite actor, and why he was a role model for me when I was struggling myself. Jimmy Kimmel is literally one of the least funny people on television, in my personal opinion. Congrats on your Oscar, RDJ!
I'm an alcoholic with years sober. One we thing we learn to do in recovery is to accept but never forget our destructive past. ALSO, WE LEARN TO LAUGH ABOUT OUR PAST. We're comfortable in our own skin again and love ourselves today just as much as we love our families and friends. Our past got us to where we're at today. I promise you, Robert Downey Jr was not hurt by these jokes. He'll be alright. The dude has the best life ever! Winning Oscars and sh*t! There's no doubt he embraces his past mistakes. People need to lighten up. Life is a lot more fun when you learn to laugh yourself. Trust me 🏆
I think after that remarks its a goodbye for kimmy dum dum dummm ✌️🤣
Kimmel has always been a chince.
He reminds me of that one kid in Jr high school that was always peeling the scabs off of colorless conversations. Like embarrassing others was the panicle of success and the only way to gain attention for himself.
Just showed how desperate for any kind of laugh Jimmy Kimmel could get. Kimmel would have to look up to see the soles of Robert Downey Jr’s shoes.
That's why Conan is the best late night show host
That's was low blow Jimmy Kimmel ..He should have congratulations him on over come the odds .. That a great comeback story for a movie .
Bravo, RDJ ‼️
Apparently, the jokes were approved ahead of time, so everyone can calm down. He played along.
Nobody knew RDJ hadn't won an Oscar at the time of Kimmel's joke?
Why is this new ? Kimmel has made a career taking low blows - I will never watch anything that involves Kimmel
Now we see why Sarah left him
To be fair. Sarah also was guilty of anti asian jokes. Google it.
Making a joke at somebody else's expense is the sign of a shitty comedian.
Robert DowneyJr has more class in the tip of his fingernail that Kimmel could ever hope for.
How does Jimmy Kimmel still have a job. He is atrocious! They should give his show to Guillermo!
It's also not a joke to used by ur doctor for kickbacks rather than care about ur health
RDJ drug jokes are off limits. That man has overcome what would have killed most of us. The Ironman should be treasured!
I have never knocked a comedian for "going too far", but this was.
We all know, *KIMMEL* used to enjoy long walks on a beach, on an island formally owned by a man named *JEFFREY* 🤔
So what??Who cares?
@@Cam-zv1jq I’m guessing you would’ve or were there with him 🤔
FAKE NEWS
@@Cam-zv1jq Nonce
That’s how comedians get slapped in the freakin face 😂
Kimmel has the charisma of a flat tire.
Kimmel needs a reality check and get out of his own way of his own arrogant ego!
Rdj a 🐐
A comedians job is to tell jokes. Very few have gone their entire careers without offending someone in some way. Shows how times have changed. There used to be televised celebrity roasts…..
Yeah, that "joke" was a low blow, not worthy of the usual intelligence of Jimmy Kimmel.
RDJ is a true warrior for overcoming his past struggles. Love ya 3000 RDJ keep doing what you do best ✌️
Hope Kimmel doesn’t come back ever again in the Oscars.
Kimmel is THE joke
Jimmy Kimmel has consistently demonstrated to be a complete jerk
Even if this was something you could joke about, Kimmel is nearly 20 years late with it. Subject matter aside, it just comes off hacky.
Can’t believe people actually like Kimmel such a clown
Yeah, I thought that was pretty low of Kimmel too. He had several jokes that didn't land, at all. Could have done without the whole John Cena thing too.
100
Ya the John Cena think was tres weird lol....like wtf 😂. I think that they are trying to be edgy or exciting or something but it didn't land all that well. At least there were no slaps or punches.
Way to take the high ground RDJ! You are loved…
This is the last time I want to see this Kimmel dude.
The fact RDJ was sitting there being nominated after the struggles he went through in the past should ONLY be a motive of inspiration…Kimmel is just a big asshole
Does no one remember how Jimmy Kimmel started his show the first couple of episodes or he was clearly on something. Before the weight loss and hair, transplants, and all that Botox and make up.
RDJ brought it up himself in his acceptance speech.
I'm a huge jimmy Kimmel fan, but that was uncalled for. Do the right thing, Jimmy.
I wonder if his rambling and mocking of Donald Trump’s charges and reading his posts on Truth Social was Kimmel’s way of distancing the audience from his "joke" about RDJ’s drug addiction?
Jimmy Kimmel was the worst thing about the oscars. Really dumb jokes.
He's the worst thing about every thing he takes part in.
Kimmel is trash. RDJ is fricking Ironman and bad ass.
He harassed Malala last year. Just stop having him as the host it's that simple!
RDJ is such a great actor and has a personal story of redemption that should be celebrated rather than mocked. And Kimmel, well, he is just an idiot
People are too sensitive. It was just a joke. These people make millions of dollars for being in the spotlight, and they can’t handle a joke at their expense??
It’s a humiliation ritual.
I liked Kimmel for a bit back in the Man Show days but every since he became an interviewer I couldn't stand him. He say the most socially inept/rude things to people I've ever heard on his talk show and then he laughs like its all good fun while the other person looks at him like I'm never coming back here.
Y’all know these two don’t like each other… they’re PROS under the same Disney contract. What’s so hard to understand.?
