Continuing on his massive promotional tour for “Iron Man 2,” Robert Downey Jr. was spotted paying a visit to “The Late Show with David Letterman” yesterday (April 28).

Joined by his lovely wife Susan, the “Sherlock Holmes” hunk looked dapper in a fedora paired with a black leather jacket, grey Henley top, and jeans.

In a recent interview, Robert talked about his struggles with substance abuse and his time in prison as a result.

"Smoking dope and smoking coke, you are rendered defenseless. The only way out of that hopeless state is intervention. All those years of snorting coke, and then I accidentally get involved in heroin after smoking crack for the first time. It finally tied my shoelaces together."

"When the [prison] door clicks shut, then you are safe. There is nothing aside from a rogue correctional officer that can do you harm if you have the right cellie. You are actually in the safest place on Earth. Safe from the intruders."
