ROBERT DOWNEY JR is one of the world’s most famous actors.

But even he has his off days.

During an interview with Channel 4 reporter Krishnan Guru-Murthy, Downey Jr took exception to being asked about his past.

Downey Jr, who is now sober, had a well-publicised battle with addiction, and a spell in prison.

But when he’s publicising his movie, he really, really doesn’t want to talk about the past.

The last thing Downey Jr says to Guru-Murthy? “It was all getting a bit Diane Sawyer.”

Here’s the interview – it starts getting morto from about 5 minutes in.
