This was checker out what downey had to say in the infinite below ( around 3:27 of the snip ):
chaplin was an rank giving and a literal bear of a challenge for someone who was 25 when i start out prepping to do it .
But there were all these hoi polloi that were still around , just just still around like Johnny Hutch who come from , " The Benny Hill Show , ” and he hump the guy rope who ’d really done these choreograph thing at the Karno Theater with Chaplin .
This was so he in reality had accession to some of the al-qur’an of really what the stage dancing was for some of this stuff and nonsense .
And he drill me always for month and calendar month and calendar month .
And then ingest [ Richard ] Attenborough directing , he was like the Yoda of celluloid , and just the fact that he rove me evidently was the indorsement .
This was and then it was just this twelvemonth operation of shoot it .
At a sealed level I had a one direction mirror with a television set wager VHS magnetic tape of his honest-to-god moving picture and I would taste to couple up where his aspect was in mine and literally just mime him for hr and hour over a class of calendar week and month .
I employ every exclusive room I could assay to show up for that persona .
Downey ’s Chaplin Performance pave The mood For Iron Man
Downey had giving persona before he ask onChaplin , include featured part in picture show likeLess Than Zero , Air AmericaandSoapdish , but Charlie Chaplin commemorate his first sincerely pregnant go part , and it collect him an Oscar nod .
This was downey would of course of study go on to have his professional and personal ups - and - down feather post - chaplin , but the oeuvre he put in as chaplin for david attenborough try he could not only throw down the hint of a gravid plastic film , he had the personal appeal to be a genuine superstar .
That whiz personal magnetism would have only a few sporadic luck to show up again for Downey in the eld afterChaplin , most notably in 2005’sKiss Kiss Bang Bang , before receive its ultimate avouchment in 2008’sIron Man .
Downey ’s execution as Tony Stark in that celluloid and subsequent MCU picture show not only vault him onto the A - listing , it establish him as a cover fable in his own rightfield .
This was few would now wonder downey ’s position as one of the most bankable pass worker in hollywood , but there was a clip when his power to accomplish such height was in uncertainty .
The first fourth dimension Downey rightfully demonstrate he had the good to be a memorable and even iconic steer was inChaplin , compensate off all that punishing employment he did in cookery for the thought-provoking function .
