o   The actor has finally responded to Jimmy Kimmel’s Oscars joke about his drug use.

o   Kimmel said during his monologue that Downey's awards season sweep may not be the highest point of his "long and illustrious career," he played along, grinning and tapping his nose, acknowledging the pun.

o   But when Kimmel asked if that was, in fact, a drug motion, Downey made a "let's keep it moving" gesture

o   He did an interview with Esquire and he said, “I don’t care. I love Jimmy Kimmel. I think he’s a national treasure.”

o   He also was asked if he’d ever reprise his role as Iron Man again.

o   He said he absolutely would and that “It's too integral a part of my DNA.  That role chose me.  And look, I always say, never, ever bet against [Marvel president and producer] Kevin Feige.  It is a losing bet. He's the house.  He will always win."

o   Of course nothing is impossible when the multiverse is involved.
