Monday Cute: Robert Downey Jr. Surprises Costumed Iron Man Kids At Comic-Con [VIDEO]

Robert Downey Jr. is such a true entertainer. He’s constantly giving fans what they want, whether it be in interviews or live appearances. Well the Iron Man 3 actor made the rounds at Comic-Con in San Diego over the weekend, and while I’m sure we’ll see the fruits of that labor in the form of animated gifs on Tumblr soon, what we want to show you is his surprise appearance at the Marvel booth. They were holding a kids costume contest for all sorts of tiny little Iron Man wannabes. While a lot of the kids seem more stunned by his appearance than excited, I’m sure their parents loved it. And while we’re at it, a little more video evidence from Comic-Con. Hit the jump for some bonus RDJ dancing his way into Hall H to Luther Vandross’ “Never Too Much.”
