Robert Downey Jr. Shares Dos and Don'ts of Handling an Oscar Trophy

#NewsReport (from the WebDesk and the other news sources)

Robert Downey Jr. recently offered some advice on how to handle an Oscar trophy at the premiere of his new series, "The Sympathizer."

"I don’t think you should walk around to the afterparties and carry it. I don’t think you should flaunt it," said Robert, reflecting on his experience winning his very first Oscar for "Oppenheimer."

The actor humorously mentioned, "I couldn’t get him to carry it around that night."

Addressing the "don'ts," Robert emphasized, "I don't think you should use it as a toilet paper holder or anything either."

When asked about the whereabouts of his Oscar trophy at home, Robert revealed, “Right now, it’s in the entryway.”

Having won the Best Supporting Actor award last month, Robert expressed gratitude to his "terrible childhood and the Academy" in his acceptance speech.

Reflecting on his earlier nomination in the Best Actor category for his role as Charlie Chaplin in the 1992 movie, "Chaplin," Robert believed it was a blessing in disguise that he didn’t win at the time.

"I was young and crazy, and it would have put me under the impression that I was on the right track," remarked Robert, who was just 28 years old at the time.

In a 2013 interview with GQ, the actor shared his unwavering belief in eventually winning an Oscar.

"Well, I know it’s going to happen," he confidently stated, "That’s just a fact.”

Robert added, “I, personally, would be shocked if we went to the end of the tape now and I didn’t have at least one."

"Look, even if I don’t get one directly, eventually they’re just going to have to give me one when I get old. So no matter how you slice it, I’m getting one," concluded the actor.
