Downey Jr gets romantic with wife on chat show

Robert Downey Jr showed off his romantic side during a recent taping of US chat show Inside the Actors Studio when he picked his wife Susan out of the audience and kissed her on the lips.

The Kiss Kiss Bang Bang actor was chatting about his film career to host James Lipton when he credited his producer wife for being the highlight of his film Gothika - the pair met on the set.

Downey Jr then insisted on wandering into the front row to kiss his wife, saying: "Hi baby," and joking: "Take five," to the audience.

After the crowd's laughter died down, Lipton asked the actor's wife what her first impressions of reforming drug addict Downey Jr were.

She said: "I thought he was weird… The first time we were all sort of up in a room and they had just ordered lunch for us… and we'd all ordered sushi, except Robert, who proceeds to take out this entire case of herbs and a couple of things of oatmeal.

"He had already made friends with our trainer and he had gotten him a bunch of things that were going to make him feel better in a very legal, sober way. He just proceeded to, like, do a couple of yoga moves... He was just odd. I still think he's weird."
