Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evan, Chris Hemsworth, and all the rest of the huge Avengers cast have been together for more than 10 years now. After starring in multiple billion-dollar MCU movies they have easily become the best of friends and are often seen taking a dig at each other in one interview or the other.
While on the press tour for Avengers, the cast was once again back together for a series of fun challenges and games. During one such game where they had to guess which body part belonged to which cast member both Evans and Hemsworth were shocked to see Downey’s absolutely jacked bicep from a $623 million movie.
Avengers Cast Shocked To See Robert Downey Jr.’s Toned Bicep
Robert Downey Jr. is as iconic as it can get. Anyone who is a fan of the Avengers movie would reckon that he is the real-life embodiment of the popular character he plays. Not only did he put in a lot of effort for the role but he also did spend a lot of time in the gym bulking up. While it might not be much, he did a pretty decent job as was evident from the look of his fellow cast members Chris Evans and Chris Hemsworth.
Both Evans and Hemsworth are known best for their amazing physique and probably are among the best bulked-up guys in the cast. When in an interview with MTV, they were shown photos of the biceps of each cast member and they had to guess it. One of those photos is Robert Downey Jr.’s bicep photo from his second Marvel movie, Iron Man 2. And both Chris could not believe it and had the funniest reactions.
Chris Evans: That’s RDJ?!
Chris Hemsworth: Shut Up! Since, ahh, WHEN!?!
Even the rest of the cast members couldn’t stop but exclaim about RDJ’s surprisingly bulked-up physique.
Robert Downey Jr.’s Intensive Workout Routine For Iron Man
Being older than the rest of the cast members did not deter Downey from sweating it out in the gym. Hence, he worked hard while also trying to maintain consistency through practices like meditation or yoga. Not only did he work out for over 5 days a week, but he also ate about 3500 calories each day.
Apart from the typical workout regimen, the star also practices the famous Bruce Lee technique, Wing Chun, every day. With the combination of his 5-day workout regimen in the gym, heavy calorie intake, martial arts technique, and daily meditation, Downey gained a significant amount of muscle mass to portray his popular Marvel character.
And that is probably why all the cast members were shocked to see Robert Downey Jr’s well-defined bicep.
Iron Man 2 can be streamed on Disney+.
