Downey Jr set to become highest paid Hollywood actor

Robert Downey Jr. is set to become Hollywood's first $100m man.

The 48-year-old star has played the role of Iron Man/Tony Stark in the superhero trilogy and 'The Avengers', and - if a two-film deal is reached for him to reprise the part in sequels to the comic book blockbuster - he could soon become the best-paid actor in the history of Hollywood.
