When Actors Want to Conquer the Music Industry As Well

Tony Stark’s Musical Career – Robert Downey Jr.

Robert Downey Jr was not always the household name of Hollywood as he is today. His journey of returning from drug abuse to being the most popular superhero for the biggest movie franchise in the world is nothing short of miraculous. Downey has also experimented with his vocal capabilities by releasing an album called the Futurist in 2004.

The album however received mix reviews from audiences and critics alike. Furthermore, he has been part of the soundtrack of a handful of films including Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and has recorded a popular cover of the song “River”. After this album he said he was not going to release another album and he felt like the energy he put into the Futurist was not compensated, and he would rather be spending the time with his family.
