During an interview with Esquire Magazine, Downey Jr explained, "I think Iron Man wound up being the first time I screen-tested since Chaplin. As far as I was concerned, it was destiny."
He added, "Now, I can't tell you how many people are sitting around with the cold, hard evidence that it wasn't. I just wasn't going to let lack of perseverance, lack of preparation, or lack of prayer get in the way. I just went crazy - in a good way."
