"Dolittle: A Life-Changing Experience for Robert Downey Jr."
Robert Downey Jr. reflects on the disappointment of his film "Dolittle," calling it a "two-and-a-half-year wound of squandered opportunity." Despite the critical and financial failure, Downey considers it one of the most important films he's ever made as it led to a reset of his career priorities. The experience prompted him to make changes in his choice of projects and business advisers. Downey is now set to star in Christopher Nolan's "Oppenheimer" and is excited about playing the role of Lewis Strauss. He initially chose "Dolittle" because it centered around a hero with the superpower of empathy, which he felt was needed in today's world.
