Robert Downey Jr. photographed after being sentenced to 3 years in prison for possession of cocaine, heroin and a gun, 1999.
In 1999, actor Robert Downey Jr. appeared in court wearing an orange jumpsuit, his once-glamorous career in ruins. The photo captured the lowest point of a man once hailed as one of Hollywood’s most gifted talents. After a string of arrests for drug possession in the late 1990s, Downey was sentenced to three years in prison following multiple violations of his probation.
His descent mirrored a decade of personal chaos, addiction, relapses, and tabloid scrutiny that made him a cautionary tale about fame and self-destruction. But it wasn’t the end. After serving his sentence and struggling through recovery, Downey returned to acting in the early 2000s, rebuilding his reputation role by role.
Less than a decade after this photo, he would reemerge as Tony Stark in Iron Man (2008), launching the Marvel Cinematic Universe and one of the greatest career comebacks in Hollywood history.
Added Fact: In 2008, Time magazine named Robert Downey Jr. one of the 100 most influential people in the world — less than ten years after his release from prison.
