RDJ joking around on the set of The Avengers
“Saving the world is serious business for a superhero. But when Robert Downey Jr. starts a battle scene on the set of The Avengers, he doesn’t exactly have on an Iron Man face.
Just before cameras roll, the smiling actor whispers up a competition with his co-stars — Chris Hemsworth (Thor), Chris Evans (Captain America), Mark Ruffalo (The Hulk), Jeremy Renner (Hawkeye) and Scarlett Johansson (Black Widow). Whoever gives the most distracting off-camera look to Tom Hiddleston (enemy Loki) wins.
‘For an entire take, they are all giving these seductive, come-on faces,’ Hiddleston says. ‘I had to fight to keep a straight face.’
‘We look at him (Downey) as our quarterback,’ Evans says. ‘He’s always smiling. And that’s infectious.’
…
Whedon gets his silence and his scene, which allows Downey to get to the urgent matter of asking Hiddleston to judge his contest.
‘It was a photo finish between Downey and Scarlett,’ Hiddleston says with a laugh. ‘They were giving some serious come-ons.”
