Robert Downey Jr. is Kirk Lazarus. He’s a Method actor who darkens himself to play the role of a black soldier in the 2008 war film, the outlet said.

During the “Iron Man” Star’s appearance on 2020 “The Joe Rogan Experience” Podcast, Downey stated that the film demonstrated how bad blackface can be.
