Susan Downey Jr., reflecting on the cornerstone of her marriage to Robert Downey Jr., unveils the enduring strength of their bond, even 18 years later.
While Robert Downey Jr. basks in the glow of professional success, clinching the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor in "Oppenheimer," his thriving career owes much to the unwavering support and harmony he shares with his wife.
At the Oscar ceremony, Susan Downey Jr. and Robert mingled with fellow luminaries like Chris Hemsworth and Elsa Pataky, their camaraderie evident in the captured moments. Post the golden triumph, Susan seized the opportunity to shed light on their marital dynamic and Robert's latest accolade.
In a recent interview with People, Susan expounded, "We adhere to a two-week regimen, which, at times, feels protracted, yet ensures we never let two weeks elapse without reuniting as a family." The couple, parents to Exton and Avri, prioritize togetherness despite the demands of their careers. Susan elucidated their stance on separations due to work, remarking, "We opt to embrace the nomadic lifestyle when necessary."
Their union, forged on the sets of "Gothika" in 2003, hinges on steadfast adherence to this fundamental rule. Susan attests, "Abiding by the two-week principle allows us to navigate the unpredictable nature of our professions without undue stress. It's about establishing a foundation and embracing the unknown."
Susan's involvement as a production partner in Downey Team, Robert's production company, affords her flexibility, a boon in maintaining their rhythm amidst the industry's tumult. She acknowledges the challenges faced by couples in the limelight, empathizing with the sacrifices often demanded.
Turning her attention to Robert's post-Oscar demeanor, Susan divulges his immersion in the upcoming HBO series "The Sympathizer," set to premiere on April 14. She lauds his unwavering dedication, emphasizing his consistent approach to every role, be it in a Marvel blockbuster or a lesser-known project.
