» Co-Star Says Downey Blackface is A-OK
Brandon T. Jackson, Robert Downey Jr.'s black (in real life) costar in Tropic Thunder, the movie in which Downey plays a white actor who undergoes a surgical procedure to make himself black, says that the controversial-ish role is fine with him. "When I first read the script, I was like, 'What? Black face?' But when I saw him (Downey Jr.) (act) he, like, became a black man.To be honest, he played a black dude better than anybody I've seen!"
