Actor Robert Downey Jr. is in high demand and has won numerous accolades. He has credited work on popular films such as Iron Man and Oppenheimer, for which he received an Oscar. Owing to his successful career, the renowned actor must travel and stay in various places to shoot his most recent films. Despite his erratic lifestyle, he nevertheless places a high value on his marriage to Susan Downey.
In an interview with People for the magazine’s Oscars edition on March 13, 2024, Susan disclosed the key to their successful eighteen-year marriage—despite Robert’s constantly shifting schedule:
Susan said, “We do not go more than two weeks without seeing each other and the family being together. We do have a two-week rule—which often feels too long.” They met in 2003 while working on the set of Susan Falconer’s Gothika. In addition to Robert’s son Indio from a previous marriage to Deborah Falconer, the couple is parents to Exton and Avri.
Robert’s acting roles often demand him to film in different parts of the world at any given time, so the couple tries to be adaptable and present. “You don’t try and think too far ahead because so much of what we do is oddly unpredictable, so you keep the basic rule of two weeks,” Susan says. “All you need to know is that anything might happen—a shutdown, an illness, or something else entirely. Thus, all you need to do is set up a few necessities and then be open to letting everything else work itself out.
Susan’s schedule is somewhat more manageable than her husband’s because she works as an executive and producer; this makes sticking to their two-week limit more realistic. The good news is that, as a producer, I have a little bit more leeway in terms of where I would need to be because I’m not in front of the camera, she says. “You get stuck and have to make those choices, so I admire and have a lot of empathy for couples who have to be in front of the camera together.”
Susan is always in awe of Robert’s brilliance and work ethic, even though her husband doesn’t have a typical job that allows him to come home every night. Susan claims that he tackles every project he’s worked on, even Marvel films, with the same degree of dedication and conviction that he is an actor trying to make a role for himself. However, there are moments when I believe it to be so effortless that I say, “Oh yeah, that’s just Downey being Downey.” When someone says, “No, the performance requires a great deal of craft and skill.”
