Iron Man actor Robert Downey Jr. credits Burger King (of all eateries) with helping him kick his nasty addiction to drugs and alcohol.
In 2003, Downey was driving a car filled with "tons of f**king dope" on California's Pacific Coast Highway when he decided to stop at the fast food franchise for a meal.
"I have to thank Burger King. It was such a disgusting burger I ordered," he said. "I had that, and this big soda, and I thought something really bad was going to happen."
After that he, reportedly, proceeded to throw all of his "f**king dope" in the ocean, and vowed to clean up his act.
"He also hinted that a fateful moment in his latest movie, Iron Man, when his character Tony Stark requests a cheeseburger from Burger King after being released from his captors, is a reference to his own experiences."
Um are you sure that wasn't product placement?
And I'm happy for you buddy, but don't diss the Whopper.
