Robert Downey Jr. Rolls Into Beijing for 'Iron Man 3' Publicity Blitz

The actor endears himself to the local crowd, saying that he lives "a very Chinese life in America."

After a splashy start in Seoul, the Iron Man 3 juggernaut rolled into the Chinese capital on Saturday, with star Robert Downey Jr. boosting his Chinese credentials by stating his love of the country’s culture through a belief in traditional Chinese medicine and martial arts.
“I’m interested in all things Chinese and I live a very Chinese life in America,” said the actor during an on-stage panel discussion with his co-star Wang Xueqi and Wu Bing, president of the film’s Chinese co-producer DMG Entertainment, at the press launch of the film at the Grand Hyatt Hotel Saturday morning.
