Yes, I know he's had his problems in the past, but at least the man's got a sense of humor on him. He recently spoke with W Magazine, and gave his run-down on the whole Mel Gibson anti-Semitic fiasco:
"What occurred, in my estimation, was that somebody was caught in the act of being an imperfect human being." As for all the Gibson haters in Tinseltown, Downey smirked, "I really didn't know that we had 8 million morally sound people in this town. Wow, I really didn't know that. I guess I've been dining at the Ivy with, like, living saints."Oh Hollywood. So hypocritical, but still so much fun. Kind of like me.

Yes, what Mel Gibson said was heinous-- drunk or sober. But hats off to Robert Downey Jr. for being the first one to state the obvious.
