Robert Downey Jr. faced repeated arrests for drug possession between 1996 and 2001. He was caught with cocaine and heroin and served time in prison. His substance abuse affected his work, and he was fired from Ally McBeal. After hitting rock bottom, he committed to sobriety in 2003. His return to acting brought him massive success, with his role as Iron Man marking a full comeback.
