GOOP, RDJ

GWYNETH: Did it ever occur to you that the Germans might not appreciate you making fun of lederhosen?

RDJ: No. I'm Robert Downey, Jr. People love EVERYTHING I do. Costume pants with some kind of chastity chain and the upper half of a very sassy aviator turned Official Summer Camp Illusionist? Ja, darling. When we go to Japan I might dress like a Geisha. When we go to Moscow, I'm going full Gorbachev. In France, I will wear a guillotine. In Britain, I will be the pub from EastEnders, and then call myself from a phone booth costume. And they will all embrace me as a lovable scamp.

GWYNETH: Must be nice.

RDJ: It is my blessing AND MY CURSE.

RDJ

"It requires so much ENERGY. Look at me bounding into rooms."

RDJ

"Look at me posing like I'm Lassie and I just smelled a boy down a well."

RDJ

"Look at me being infused by the spirit of German merriment."

RDJ

"Look at the cut of my jib as I dance a jaunty jig."

RDJ

"Look at me seeking something, in this case, someone who will come out with me and have some fun so that I can relax from being a mad clown locked in a humor trunk of my own making."

RDJ

"It's EXHAUSTING. But what can I do? It's like you said, I'm two parts Richard Simmons, one part Robin Williams, a dash of Javier Bardem's mystery and Jeffrey Dean Morgan's Robert Downey Jr.-ness, which is confusingly reflexive, and sprinkled with that boy scout from Up. I am a slave to this cocktail. Which is better than me being a slave to actual cocktails, so let's just go with it, GOOPenheimer, or else it's going to be A REALLY LONG PRESS TOUR."

Germanly Played, Robert Downey Jr.
GWYNETH: Good day, Robert. RDJ: Guten Tag, Lady Paltrow. Fine day for it. Fine, fine day. GWYNETH: For what? RDJ: For wearing my manty-hosen, Queen G. GWYNETH: Manty-hosen? RDJ: It's what I call my lederhosen. My German garb. We're in Munich, after all. I thought I'd dress the part. Why no dirndl, Duchess GOOPsalot? GWYNETH: Robert, I can't be seen engaging in hijinks. I have a cookbook now. Two, actually. I'm a mogul. RDJ: Tell me, O Bride of GOOPenstein, does one of the recipes call for a pinch from a Pepper Potts? GWYNETH: Very funny, Robert. You're like the spirit of Richard Simmons in the body of a movie star Eagle Scout. RDJ: That is the HIGHEST compliment, GOOP Beverly Hills. [Photo: Getty]
