Robert Downey Jr. believes that women should run the world. In a recent interview with the Associated Press, ahead of the release of Oppenheimer, the actor said, "Men start wars and the entire planet should be a matriarchy. But I’ve never changed positions on that."
It was Robert's response to a question about patriarchy and war, and he said it's something that he has always believed, adding that working on the film was "just a triple confirmation."
During the interview, the interviewer made a comment about how the movie was "just a lot of men talking for the better part of three hours" (though "interesting" and "entertaining" in spite of that." Robert responded by saying "apologies" then adding that men should probably listen to each other more.
"Maybe if more men were listening to each other, as opposed to having petty arguments and infighting and trying to get each other destroyed, we’d have more space for a larger dialogue," he said.
He then went on to compliment director Christopher Nolan's film style, saying he "painted this picture that's historic and very personal and also shocking, in a cool way."
"One of the things about Nolan in particular that is now evident is big scale, big impact, thrilling cinema — but there’s also this exploration of the subtleties of all of us, including our frailties and our defects and all these things that are really difficult to describe," he said.
