Johnny Depp recently made headlines when he attempted to congratulate his friend Robert Downey Jr. on his Oscar win by sharing a photoshopped picture of them together. The original photo actually featured Downey with his then-girlfriend Sarah Jessica Parker at a Young Artists Unite event in Los Angeles back in 1988.
Depp quickly realized his mistake and deleted the fake photo, instead sharing a real picture of himself with Downey at the Golden Globes in 2011. Downey had just won the Oscar for best supporting actor for his role in Oppenheimer, marking a high point in his career.
Downey has had his fair share of ups and downs, including a period in the late ’90s when he was sentenced to prison for drug charges. However, he has since made a remarkable comeback, particularly with his portrayal of Iron Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
During his acceptance speech, Downey took the time to thank Christopher Nolan and others who have supported him throughout his career. The Oscar win is seen as a triumph for the actor, as it solidifies his status as a talented and respected performer in Hollywood.
Fans and fellow celebrities alike have been celebrating Downey’s win, recognizing it as a well-deserved honor for the talented actor. Congratulations to Robert Downey Jr. on his Oscar win and continued success in his career.
