Susan Downey once said ‘there’s nothing strange’ about her husband kissing Gwyneth Paltrow in movies
It’s understandable to think it’d be weird for anyone to see their partner kiss another person as part of their job. Even someone who is with an actor. Sure, they may know on-screen kisses are to be expected but it that may not make it any easier to deal with. But for Susan, she didn’t find it odd to watch Downey Jr. and Paltrow kiss in Iron Man. She said as much during a 2009 interview with Harper’s Bazaar.
“Oddly, there’s nothing strange about it,” Susan said, referring to watching her husband and Paltrow lock lips in Iron Man. Why didn’t it bother her in the slightest? Because of how the Oscar-winning actress feels about who she’s kissing.
“Gwyneth’s so funny because they have great on-screen chemistry, but afterward, she’d be like, ‘Ugh, it’s like kissing my brother,’” she said.
So, while they might make a believable couple in the MCU — fans still love the two together and refer to them by their couple name, “Pepperony” — there’s no romantic chemistry between Paltrow and Downey Jr. when cameras stop rolling.
Paltrow said the same thing in an April 2020 Instagram post in which she wished Downey Jr. a happy birthday. She called the actor her “brother, friend and supporter.”
Robert Downey Jr. says Gwyneth Paltrow and his wife are friends
During a 2016 interview with Howard Stern on The Howard Stern Show, Downey Jr. talked about Paltrow being his “free pass” only because “her and Susan are such good friends.”

“I gotta get her back in these movies, so I can make out with her on screen again,” Downey Jr. jokingly added.
He added that Susan “could care less” about any chemistry he might have with Paltrow in movies so long as it happens when they are “rolling on the take.”Downey Jr. and Susan married in 2005 and now have two children together. Meanwhile, the Iron Man actor and his on-screen love, Paltrow, are friends in real life and they’ve been known to shout out each other on Instagram.
Gwyneth Paltrow and Kate Hudson were talking on her Goop podcast when she revealed that her Marvel co-star Robert Downey Jr was her worst on-screen kiss.
Actors Gwyneth Paltrow and Robert Downey Jr’s chemistry in the Marvel movies makes for one of the best on-screen couplings in Hollywood. However, Gwyneth has said something about Robert that might shock some ‘Pepperony’ fans.
Gwyneth Paltrow says kissing Robert Downey Jr felt like kissing a brother.
On a recent episode of her Goop podcast, Gwyneth and Kate Hudson discussed their worst on-screen kisses. When Gwyneth asked Kate about her best kiss, Kate said she could only talk about the worst one. She said that her How To Lose A Guy in 10 Days co-star Matthew McConaghuey was the worst kiss experience for her.

“Honestly, I feel like I kind of haven’t had the best kissers,” Kate said. “I feel like I should have had better ones.” “Every time I kissed McConaughey, I mean, it’s like there’s just something happening and there’s like snot, or wind,” she said. “Like when we were kissing, like, in the end of Fool’s Gold, we’re like in the ocean, we had the plane crash, he just had snot all over his face!,” she added.
When it was Gwyneth’s turn, she said, “With Robert, like, when I kissed him, I was like, ‘You’ve got to be kidding me, this is literally like kissing my brother.’”
In 2010, Robert had told People magazine that Gwyneth indeed did not like how he kissed. “She said… I didn’t know what I was doing, like, ‘It didn’t feel good.’ And I said, ‘You know what? First of all, we’re all friends, so what would be creepy is if I was coming off all sexy to you while we were shooting – which by the way, I’ve done that in movies and it creeps them out! So why would I creep you out?’,” he said.

However, he said he enjoyed the moment despite what she said.”She still thinks about it, I couldn’t get her off me!,” he said.
Gwyneth and Robert have starred together in multiple Marvel movies including all instalments of Iron Man, Avengers, Captain America: Civil War and Spider-Man: Homecoming. The two are good friends in real life as well.

Гвинет Пэлтроу и Роберт Дауни-младший — друзья на всю жизнь
В беседе с People in 10 в 2021 году Пэлтроу сказала, что дружба с Дауни-младшим у нее сложилась «на всю жизнь» за те годы, что они работали вместе.
Мои отношения с Робертом Дауни-младшим., который, очевидно, был выкован во всех фильмах «Железный человек» и «Мстители», — объяснила она. «Я чувствую, что смогла найти невероятного, на всю жизнь, вдохновляющего партнера и друга». В то время Пэлтроу не была в восторге от встречи со звездой Дулиттла.
Дауни рассказал, что общий друг позвонил ему после того, как он встретил актрису The Shallow Hal. «Она подумала: «Что с ним не так? Кто этот парень?» — вспоминал актер во время интервью Associated Press в 2013 году. «Она позвонила ему и спросила, не навредит ли ее репутации общение со мной». Однако Пэлтроу сказала, что разговор пошел не совсем так. Она просто беспокоилась о его «дикой» репутации в то время.
Звезда «Сочувствующий» боролся с наркозависимостью и даже был осужден за хранение героина, кокаина и незаряженного.357 Magnum в 1996 году. В 1999 году он был приговорен к трем годам тюремного заключения за нарушение условного срока. «Он был действительно диким, а я был очень наивен», — вспоминал Пэлтроу. «Я сразу же проникся к нему блеском… Потом он на некоторое время пропал с радаров». Дауни добавила, что она «была там, играя один хит за другим, а я был заперт где-то в ванной. Так и быть. Жизнь прекрасна».
Гвинет Пэлтроу сказала, что целоваться с Робертом Дауни-младшим «все равно что целоваться с моим братом»
В эпизоде подкаста The Goop Пэлтроу рассказала о своих неловких сценах поцелуев с Дауни. «С Робертом, когда я поцеловала его, я подумала: «Ты, должно быть, шутишь. Это буквально похоже на поцелуй моего », — сказала она своей гостье, Кейт Хадсон.
В 2010 году RDJ также признался, что это был один из самых странных моментов в их дружбе.
«Она сказала… Я не знал, что делаю, например: «Мне было нехорошо», — сказал актер об их первом поцелуе на экране. «И я сказал:« Знаешь что? Во-первых, мы все друзья, так что было бы жутко, если бы я казался тебе таким сексуальным, пока мы снимались — что, кстати, я сделал это в фильмах, и это их пугает! Так почему я должен пугать тебя?'»
Но все обошлось. Сейчас Пэлтроу считает Дауни «одним из своих лучших друзей».

For those who know nothing about the MCU, here’s the deal. The movie franchise began in 2008 with the premiere of Iron Man. Downey Jr. played Tony Stark, an uber-wealthy inventor who had a reputation as a playboy. Over the course of the first movie he became the superhero known as Iron Man. And by his side through it all had been his trusty assistant, Pepper Potts (Paltrow).
From the start, Potts and Stark were attracted to each other, and eventually they became a couple. Of course, as the MCU continued with Stark’s journey after Iron Man 2 in 2010 and Iron Man 3 in 2013, so did the love story between the two characters. By the time Avengers: Endgame hit theaters in 2019, Downey Jr. and Paltrow had appeared on screen as a couple for more than a decade. By that time their characters had become parents.

Gwyneth Paltrow Was Scared Of Robert Downey Jr. Because Of His Past

Known for artistically bringing the character of Tony Stark to life in the Marvel Cinematic Universe for more than a decade, Robert Downey Jr. is rightfully called the cornerstone of the MCU and a boon for Marvel Studios. But this wasn’t always the case, in fact, prior to arguably becoming the face of Hollywood, the star’s life was a wreck, to say the least. Multiple law offenses and a long case of substance abuse were associated with the star, which was also the reason he was sentenced to prison. Understandably, these factors led to his Iron Man co-star steering clear from her at first.

In a past interview, Gwyneth Paltrow, who played the role of Stark’s wife Pepper Potts in Iron Man and the rest of the MCU films, talked about how when she first met the Tropic Thunder star, she had the same preconceived notions about him, which included his troubled past. But as they worked together and built the MCU, she started to understand just how wonderful a person he was. In the interview, she mockingly said she wasn’t ready to kiss him, saying:

Гвинет Пэлтроу – одобренная женой Роберта Дауни-младшего «бесплатная услуга»
В 2016 году Дауни сказал Говарду Стерну, что его жена Сьюзен Дауни дала ему «бесплатный пропуск», когда дело доходит до Пэлтроу. «Мой бесплатный пропуск, потому что она и Сьюзен такие хорошие друзья, — это Пэлтроу», — сказал актер.
«Я должен вернуть ее в фильмы , чтобы снова целоваться с ней на экране!» Когда ведущий спросил, ревновала ли когда-нибудь жена актера к его экранному роману с коллегой по «Мстителям», Дауни пошутил: «Ей все равно!» Однако он пояснил, что «свободный проход» — это совсем не то же самое, что «проход в зал», и что он ограничивается только поцелуями на камеру.
«Ваша жена говорит, что у вас есть бесплатный пропуск, чтобы быть с Гвинет Пэлтроу?» — спросил Стерн, на что Дауни ответил: «Нет, я имею в виду, если мы делаем дубль!» Когда его спросили, проверял ли он когда-нибудь своих бывших на Facebook, актер ответил: «Нет. Я очень счастлив в браке».
Актер впервые встретил свою жену, тогда еще Сьюзан Левин, еще в 2003 году на съемках «Готики». Это была ее полноценная работа продюсера. Но с 1999 года она уже работала вице-президентом по производству в Silver Pictures.
Когда ее спросили о первой встрече с Дауни, она сказала: «Главное, что я помню о встрече с ним, это то, что я думала о том, какой он странный».
Перенесемся в ноябрь 2003 года, когда актер встал на одно колено накануне 30-летия продюсера. Они поженились в августе 2005 года, а семь лет спустя у них родился первый сын Экстон Элиас Дауни. В 2014 году у них родилась дочь Аври Роэль. Левин также является мачехой первого сына Дауни от первого брака, Индио Фальконера Дауни, 28 лет.
