In a recent interview with People, Robert Downey Jr. talked about working with his two younger children on Downey’s Dream Cars and revealed that he had a ‘blast.’ Talking about his son, Exton Elias in the interview, he said,
“My wife [Susan Downey] has raised him not to be a ham. He’s not, like, putting together his audition tapes or anything. He’s just a natural extrovert when he wants to be. There’s been a couple times when … he’s wanted to participate in something I was doing. And when I ran this one by him, he said, ‘Yeah, sure.’ And then he came in and absolutely wiped the floor with me.”
RDJ also talked about his daughter appearing in the series and said, she is “a little different, even though she is off the charts in the series, too.”
