The stars regularly like to leave with a movie prop; nice little memory of filming. In this register, Robert Downey Jr. received from Disney an amazing gift.
The stars like to regularly take on board some memories of filming, with the blessing of the production of course. Though. Some do not hesitate to steal accessories without asking, like Ruper Grint on the set of Harry Potter, who will confess a few years later.
If Chris Hemsworth was thus able to recover not one but downright five (!) Hammers from Thor during the filming of the Avengers and Thor films which were dedicated to him, as he told in the TJimmy Kimmel’s ak Show in 2018Robert Downey Jr was also entitled to a rather surprising little gift.
In an interview given to the BBC Radio 1 in 2014, during which the journalist asked him what object he would have liked to take from the filming of Avengers, the actor let go in a joking tone: “there is this “A” at the end of the film [NDR : la lettre figurant sur la tour ravagée de Tony Stark], which is probably 30 feet tall, I look at it, we’re shooting in England, and I’m like, “I want this in my office in Venice!
Two weeks ago, a delivery man came, I said to myself: “what the hell is this thing doing here ???” And they said, “You asked for it!” They really brought it to me??? Now I have a huge Avengers ‘A’ that will be prominently displayed.”
If Downey Jr apparently likes to keep memories of filming at home, he was apparently disappointed not to be able to take on one of his costumes from previous Iron Man films. Even if he was still able to recover some helmets. Small consolation prize for Tony.
