Marine mammal biologist here...when I'm not out there tracking whales I spend my time obsessing over this older dude with chocolate eyes and killer smile!!
So yeah, it's mostly a Robert Downey Jr. blog.Please don't follow if you can't handle his cuteness
I don’t even know what to say. Whenever I see a notification that RDJ has a new social post, I expect joyous news about his new ventures, upcoming projects, and celebrations of his family. Never did I expect to read the shocking and terrible news that Jimmy is no longer with us.
Jimmy Rich was a constant in the fandom. He was a friendly face that made this community what it is today. Jimmy’s kindness and openness gave us unparalleled access to Robert’s work and life that we never would have expected otherwise. He was always the first to share the love we as a fandom had for him, for Robert, and for each other, to the world. The work he did allowed us to feel like we were part of the team, as if even through a screen, we were with Robert, Jimmy, Davy and Jeanne every step of the way on each press tour and each media opportunity that was happening across the other side of the world. Without him, we wouldn’t be the same.
It goes without saying that I had always hoped to meet RDJ in person and have a conversation with him. But on top of that, I had always wanted to meet Jimmy, to thank him in person, for being a brother to Robert, and for being a friend to us. I’m thankful that he was always a patient and positive presence, grateful for every interaction I had with him on Instagram, where he was always generous with his time, his responses, and his likes.
He was a beautiful soul, a genuinely loving person. I appreciate everything he has done for us, and my thoughts go out to his family. Though he is gone way, way, way too soon, I hope he’s found peace and reunited with his brother, Prometheus.
RIP to Jimmy Rich. He supported RDJ for many many years and has been a constant friend, brother and caretaker. Sending so much love to Jimmy’ s family and RDJ during this time.
Jimmy was so NICE, also this guy can’t stop moving. Dude i’m not filming, I’m just trying to take a picture, ahah…such a good time, and BIG THX for taking my gift for “Downey”!!
I met Jimmy for the cacw premiere in Paris. He was such a lovely dude we had a great chat and he happily took a picture with me…he couldn’t stop moving😅
