*"He was Hollywood’s golden child at 8… and its biggest trainwreck by 30.
When Marvel bet their entire universe on a ‘washed-up addict,’ critics said it would bomb.
Instead, he turned rock bottom into rocket fuel —jail cells to red carpets,500
500Kpaychecksto500 million empires.
This is the real-life Tony Stark story you weren’t told.

🔥 Dive into the chaos:
• The dark secret behind his first Oscar nod at 23 (spoiler: it wasn’t talent)
• 2003 mugshots vs. 2013’s “Iron Man 3” premiere — the ultimate villain-to-hero arc
• Why Marvel risked everything: “RDJ or nothing”
• Filming Avengers in court-ordered ankle monitors (yes, really)
• His life motto: “Breakdowns are just system updates for greatness”

Like if you’ve ever felt like an underdog.
Comment “🧠” if you think his genius outshines Tony Stark’s tech.

This isn’t a superhero story.
It’s a masterclass in rewriting your own ending."*
