Robert Downey Jr says his family life gives him \u2018something to attach my neurosis to that\u2019s positive\u2019<\/p>\n
After giving up his drink and drug addictions that blighted his life and career in the late-1990s and early-2000s, Robert now spends his leftover energies away from acting into building a stable home for his wife Susan Levin, 50, and their two children.<\/p>\n
He told People about their domestic bliss: \u201cIt just gives me, honestly, something to attach my neurosis to that\u2019s positive.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd I love when I can ask (Susan) if she thinks we should paint the kitchen a different colour or if maybe a new rug in her office, whatever.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not saying that I\u2019m like a fledgling interior designer. But there\u2019s two kinds of people and I\u2019m the kind that cares about the drapes.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nRobert, who also has son Indio, 30, with his first wife Deborah Falconer, 58, has been married to Susan for 18 years and they have kids Exton, 12, and nine-year-old Avri.<\/p>\n
\nSusan added in a joint chat with Robert for People: \u201cWe all love his playfulness. Here\u2019s the interesting thing.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cI came from an incredibly stable household and Robert\u2019s was, let\u2019s say, less than that.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cAnd yet he\u2019s the one who brings the real kind of homey-ness to it, and I just make sure everything\u2019s working and running well.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cHe really cares about whatever (the children) care about.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cI think that he craves and therefore wants to provide the stability that probably he didn\u2019t necessarily have.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nRobert also opened up about how it was amazing to see his idol Al Pacino, 83, present \u2018Oppenheimer\u2019 with best picture at this year\u2019s Oscars after he won a best supporting actor gong for his role in the film.<\/p>\n
\nHe said: \u201cIt\u2019s crazy that Al Pacino, one of my favourite human beings on earth, presented best picture. <\/p>\n
\n\u201cAnd it\u2019s also crazy that, I think, deservedly he won the first time I was nominated (in 1993 for \u2018Chaplin\u2019), for \u2018Scent of a Woman\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
