Promoting his latest movie, Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang, at the Cannes Film Festival, Robert Downey Jr. managed to charm reporters in individual interviews and at a press conference over the weekend. At the news conference attended by producer Joel Silver, writer-director Shane Black and fellow stars Val Kilmer and Michelle Monaghan, one reporter awkwardly attempted to bring up Downey's past drug use. Downey leaped from the table, doffed his jacket, and feigned his readiness for fisticuffs. (The reporter quickly backed off, asking Downey if he had any advice for Michael Jackson on how to deal with notoriety -- at which point the moderator moved on to another questioner.) The film itself, ballyhooed in Cannes as Kees, Kees, Bong Bong (which seemed particularly amusing given Downey's past), and screened out of competition, has managed to attract considerable positive buzz.
