It’s something I’m so grateful to have in my palm, and yet I already see its inevitable decay.” Or not.

Are Our Days With Downey Jr. Numbered?
Cinema Blend News —
Are Our Days With Downey Jr. Numbered? Imagine, if you would, that Channing Tatum were chosen to play Tony Stark. What about Hayden Christensen as Sherlock Holmes? Paul Walker as Kirk Lazarus? The world of film would get a lot dimmer without Robert Downey Jr., the comeback man of the decade. He can do drama, he can do comedy and, unlike many of his A-list brethren, he knows how to be discernible when choosing a script. So when he tells Entertainment Weekly that he might not be acting for much longer, it's not only shocking, but a bit upsetting. In an interview with the ...

... and the new EW hitting stands this weekend (he's on the cover of both), he tells the writers to manage their expectations as he wants to try and relax and have a life instead of just act in a tentpole every four months. And or just quit acting all together. Sorta... In Esquire he says children could be in the cards. In EW he hints again at slowing down.

Robert Downey, Jr. Contemplates Doing Nothing
Get The Big Picture —
Perhaps it's because this is the most active and publicized part of his career, but
Robert Downey, Jr. seems gassed. Talking to
Entertainment Weekly for a
Sherlock Holmes cover story, RDJ makes some comments that are being interpreted as the actor riding off into the sunset.
I don't believe that's going to happen, because even though he's cashing in like never before, Downey can spin his recent resurgence into better, more challenging ...

Robert Downey Jr. Might Be Ready to Retire
Vulture —
... I already see its inevitable decay.”
No! Lucky for all his fans, Downey knows he might not be able to leave acting even if he wants to. “If Sherlock Holmes performs well, I could be busy for the next 5 or 7 or 10 years,” he said. We'd like to go ahead and suggest the Jay-Z model wherein one announces his retirement, soaks in all the requisite fanfare, and then behaves like it never happened. It's really the best of both worlds.
