Jodie Foster recalled pulling Robert Downey Jr. aside and expressing her worries over his addiction struggles while on the set of the 1995 movie "Home for the Holidays."
"I took him aside at one point during filming and said, ‘Look, I couldn’t be more grateful for what you’ve given in this film. But I’m scared of what happens to you next. Right now, you are incredibly good at balancing on the barstool. But it’s really precarious, and I’m not sure how that’s going to end,'" the two-time Oscar winner remembered.
