The 50 Brightest Stars of the 80s: Where Are They Now?
Robert Downey, Jr.
The 54-year-old’s newfound fame as Tony Stark on the “Iron Man” and “The Avengers” franchise was a renaissance of sorts for the talented and formerly troubled star. Robert Downey Jr. was known in the 80s as one of the Brat Pack, starring in “Pretty in Pink” and “Weird Science,” among many others. Personal problems stalled his career and threw him out of the Hollywood A-list circuit. He later returned to the limelight after beating his demons with the leading role in the highly successful Marvel movie in 2008. He has since become one of the highest-paid actors in the world after earning an $80 million paycheck.
