Robert Downey Jr. trying to gain weight for Iron Man

Robert Downey Jr on set

While his costars Gwyneth Paltrow and Scarlett Johansson work tirelessly with trainer Tracy Anderson to slim down for their roles in the next “Iron Man” movie, Robert Downey Jr. is trying to fatten himself up.

Robert Downey Jr. is preparing to pile on the pounds for his role in Iron Man 2.

The actor, 44, had to slim down to play lean detective Sherlock Holmes in Guy Ritchie’s movie — but now he has to put on weight and muscle to be a believable Tony Stark again.

He says, “I’ve got to not be the skinny Brit anymore.

“I’ve got to get back to the Tony that everyone knew and may have loved. I’ve got to pump it up a little. Just for now, I am back on the steak diet.” [Source]

Let’s hope he’s paring that steak with a healthy dose of weight training, otherwise he just might end up with an iron gut.
