And not only does he support the environment, but he also talks about his struggles with addiction.

Not gotten around to watching it yet. Yeah I had a vague feeling that the Iron Man guy was a Republican, but I wasn't sure. I did see him on tv in an environment-related psa though.

There's something about him.

Folks, if you've not seen him in Chaplin, you must. He was nominated for an Academy Award for best actor for that film and won a BAFTA Award.

He's one of my favorite actors (have many), I think because of his ability to portray vulnerability so well. I've never had any doubts about his liberal bent.

Hope his efforts are successful.

That character has become iconic & is referenced in other movies. Remember Matt Damon's character in The Martian:

"Let's go Iron Man."

😅
