“Iron Man 3” arrives in London, there’s loads of teasing among co-stars

Robert Downey Jr. seems exactly like the guy who constantly makes fun of everyone, himself included, but you just know that he never means it in a bad way. Still, occasionally, he finds himself slapped for it.

Check out the video above to see what I mean by it.

Robert Downey Jr. and his “Iron Man 3” co-stars Gwyneth Paltrow, Ben Kingsley, and Rebecca Hall attended a press call in London to promote the film and, while she was talking about how surprised she’d been that the franchise proved so popular, RDJ joked about Gwyneth being a “snob.”

That would be the same Gwyneth that was just recently voted the most hated celebrity on the Internet, and who said the other day she hated the way the Brits pronounced “pass-ta” instead of “pah-sta.”

In other words, RDJ struck a chord – so she slapped him. Jokingly, yes, but it was a slap nonetheless.

Luckily, RDJ has a sense of humor about everything, so he just laughed any potential awkwardness off.
