Jackie Chan and Robert Downey Jr are two of the most popular names in the world of cinema. Chan, apart from being an actor, is also an extraordinary talent in martial arts and other stunts. He and RDj both are known for their sense of humour, but did you know Chan once expressed his wish to be Iron Man? Scroll below to get the deets.
For the unversed, it was RDJ’s Iron Man that kickstarted the MCU in 2008, and his portrayal as the billionaire genius is still unparalleled as his fans were left heartbroken when he parted ways with the character in 2019’s Avengers: Endgame. Jackie in this throwback interview, expressed his wish to be in RDJ’s shoes, but alas, that did not work out in favour of the martial arts specialist.
As per a report in IGN, Jackie Chan once expressed his wish to play the role of Iron Man and called the makers fools for not coming up to him with the offer. He said, “I really want to play Iron Man, but I don’t think the audiences want to see me as Iron Man. Anyway, nobody pays me big money to make this kind of movie. I love Iron Man and this kind of movie, but no one hires me. Fools!”
