It’s been far too long since Robert Downey Jr. made a small child cry. The last time it happened was back in 1998, when Downey stole a two-year-old’s pacifier, so he could link the tongue of a hobo who smoked a joint earlier in the week. The streak mercifully snapped this week, when Downey, NOT Iron Man, met Jaxson Denno.
18-month-old Jaxson Denno burst into tears when he met Robert Downey Jr. while he was filming in Massachusetts. Not from the pure ecstasy of meeting RDJ, but from the bitter disappointment when he found out Robert Downey Jr. is not really Iron Man and Iron Man does not exist in real life. (Via)
Don’t worry, kid. Nighthawk’s still real, though. No one would be dumb enough to come up with THAT character.
Might as well let it all hang out while he’s having this little crisis of belief: Santa Claus, Easter Bunny, Jesus, etc.
Ha!
Kid’s named Jaxson and has a faux-hawk…better get used to those tears.
fuck, this was nearly word for word what I was about to say. What kind of asshole parents thought Jaxson was a good idea???
You need a license to driver a car, hell you even need a license to fish, but they’ll let any butt-reaming asshole have a kid.
I have a friend who named his first son Jaxson.
Well, I had a friend who named his first son Jaxson.
He needs a bit more tanning oil.
The only advantage to being named Jaxson is that one day you can take on the name “Jax” and if you’re lucky you’ll get your arms amputated and replaced with metal arms.

Damn…
Enigmahfc – I gotta tell ya, I love the Krankor profile image. I just watched that MST the other day. Awesome man.
Jaxson, soon to be bro-walking.
It is funny and sad at the same time. I don’t know who to feel worse for, the kid on one hand just had his world shattered, on the other hand RDJ must feel terrible for being responsible for a little kid crying. Reminds me of the 2 times so far I have made my little niece cry when I raised the sternness in my voice when telling her to not do something that was going to hurt her lol.
I seriously question if an 18 month old child has the ability to make the connection that this story implies. I feel more likely that the kid was just scared of a strange, overbearing man.
Or he’d already seen “Less Than Zero” and thought RDJ was dead.
Don’t care what the reason, if you cry tears of anything but joy when meeting RJD, you’re a goddam monster.
