Robert Downey Jr. walks out after interviewer gets too personal

April 24, 2015 00:45

During an interview promoting the upcoming "Avengers: Age of Ultron," Downey walked out on Britain's Channel 4 reporter Krishnan Guru-Murthy after the anchor pressed the actor on quotes from Downey's past.

"Are we promoting a movie?" Downey visibly uncomfortable asked Guru-Murthy.

This led to Downey cutting the interview short saying to Guru-Murthy on his way out, "You seem okay. It's just getting a little Diane Sawyer in here."

The line of questioning that led to Downey's walk-out regarded a 2008 interview with the New York Times in which Downey was quoted as saying, "You can't go from a $2,000-a-night suite at La Mirage to a penitentiary and really understand it and come out a liberal."
