Danny McBride Accidentally Heard Robert Downey Jr. Going to Pee While in Character on ‘Tropic Thunder’ Set: ‘He Was Talking to Himself’
Robert Downey Jr. committed to method acting so much for "Tropic Thunder" that Danny McBride heard him going to pee in character.
Downey starred in the film as an egotistical Australian thespian who takes Method acting to an extreme by undergoing “pigmentation alteration” surgery to darken his skin in order to play a Black solider in a war movie. During a 2020 episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience” podcast, Downey said that while he also had a bad feeling about “Tropic Thunder” and the potential backlash it could generate, he still thought to himself: “I get to hold up to nature the insane self-involved hypocrisy of artists and what they think they’re allowed to do on occasion.” Downey Jr. earned a best supporting actor Oscar nomination for his performance in “Tropic Thunder.” Watch McBride full’s GQ video interview in the post below.
