Old photos of Robert Downey Jr. And his wife: 20 years ago they looked like this+photo
Robert Downey Jr. And his wife: Robert Downey Jr. and Susan Downey have been making it work since 2003 — in more ways than one.
The pair first got together when Robert was starring in Gothika alongside Halle Berry. Susan (then Susan Levin) was producing the film through her job with Silver Pictures.
At first, Susan wasn’t too sure about Robert, in part because she didn’t want to date the star of one of the movies she was working on, but also because — as she told The Hollywood Reporter in 2014 — she found him “interesting but weird.”

From their first meeting to their success as parents and business partners, here is a complete timeline of Robert Downey Jr. and Susan Downey’s relationship.
