Just watch the clip below of Robert Downey Jr. and you’ll see the suppressed anger (around 3:50) when Channel 4 interviewer Krishnan Guru-Murthy starts asking about the rougher parts of his past. Drugs, addiction and things that Downey has discussed before, but maybe didn’t feel like going into when he’s just out on the press circuit to promote “Avengers: Age of Ultron.”

“I’m sorry — what are we doing?” Downey asked.

“Well, I’m just asking questions, that’s all,” Guru-Murthy starts explaining.
