With all the news constantly streaming out of Hollywood in regards to misdeeds, it would be easy to believe that everyone in the film business is the spawn of Satan and a complete and utter bastard! However it seems this isn’t the case for everyone as a recent story online has revealed that superstar Robert Downey Jr. has treated every member of the Avengers: Infinity War crew to a heartfelt gift.
One of the Grips who worked on the film, Patrick Istorico, recently took to his Instagram to post pictures of a very special gift he received off the Iron Man star; a personalized cast chair with a message from the actor himself. Apparently it wasn’t just Istorico who was treated to this awesome gift, it was every member of the crew who have worked on the next two Avengers films. The message itself reads ‘Heart felt thanx from the center of my arc reactor‘ – a reference to the fact that his character, Tony Stark initially had an Arc Reactor over his heart.

Whilst this is definitely something you wouldn’t see from many actors in Hollywood, it only seems fair that Downey Jr. should give back to those who help to make the films, especially since appearing in these films have reportedly netted the actor $200 Million alone. The gift itself being a chair that’s typically reserved for the actors does seem to be a way of saying that, the crew are just important in terms of making these movies special as the actors who star in them.
At the end of the day, this is one of the few nice stories to come out of an industry that seems to all unpleasant these days. Let’s just hope that we see more actors follow suit in the near future. We will certainly see if they earned their gift when Avengers: Infinity War hits theatres May 4th.
