Robert Downey Jr. Set His Crotch on Fire
Yes, you read that correct. No, I am not drunk behind the laptop again. Robert Downey Jr. managed to set his crotch on fire on the set of Guy Ritchie’s latest project, a Sherlock Holmes movie. Jude Law will be getting a medal of honor for saving his co-stars crotch. Downey is the leading man in the film playing the infamous detective. Jude is doting sidekick, Dr. Watson. Robbie was in the middle of filming a scene when he set the pipe he was smoking down onto the arm of a chair. It then fell onto his lap and caught on fire.
A source said: “Robert leaped from his armchair and jumped up and down, slapping his crotch and howling, ‘Oh God, I’m on fire!’ Robert had placed the pipe on a plate on the arm of the chair, but it overbalanced and plopped into his lap, scattering lit tobacco all over his pants.”
Law leapt into action and quickly extinguished the flames. Lucky for Robert, a prop flower vase was filled with water and Jude was able to put out the fire. He was not hurt thanks to his costar’s ability to extinguish crotch fires.
