Once Again, Robert Downey Jr. Proves That TONY STARK Has A Heart After All

Who says superheroes don't exist in real life? Iron Man star Robert Downey Jr's greatest superpower has always been making people laugh, and he's been using that it to great effect recently. Hit the jump to see what he did to put a smile on one young fan's face.

Robert Downey Jr. has plenty in common with his Marvel movie alter-ego Tony Stark. That includes wealth, fame, charisma and... performing spontaneous acts of random kindness! Yesterday, the Iron Man star received a message over Instagram from the mother of boy named Daniel, who is currently in hospital struggling with cystic fibrosis. She said a simple reply from the star would mean the world for her son and do wonders in helping cheer him up.

Never one to do things by halves, Downey went above and beyond to make Daniel smile. Dressed as Tigger from Winnie The Pooh, he posted the following photo on his own Instagram account, and invited young Daniel to join him at the Captain America: Civil War premiere next year:




Looks like Pepper Potts was right, Tony Stark does have a heart after all!

Captain America: Civil War hits theatres May 6, 2016.

RDJ doesn't have a heart @Minty

At least that's what @Trollem says. But at the same time he likes The Unamazing Hipster-Khan films.

Speaking of Marvel, when the hell are we getting the Civil War trailer? Last year, we already had the Age of Ultron trailer.

@TheDarkKnight1939 Marketing strategy has probably changed with Star Wars officially in the fold. We should be getting the first trailer in the next couple of weeks if it hasn't though.

Robert is a great guy, despite the fact that he backed stabbed Terrence Howard.

I really thing Ironman needs a reboot, A new casting and a new Direction.

I want an Ironman who is a combination of James bond who is a tech genius with alcohol problem.



not a wise cracking comedian with one liner jokes in a suit of Armor.
