Luckily, the 46-year-old Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows star didn’t spill the baby name beans as well. “If I told you the name, then she would lop off my head with a machete,” Downey added jokingly to Leno.
Robert Downey Jr. is also father of 18-year-old son Indio from his previous marriage to Deborah Falconer.
Speaking of Susan, mother of newborn son Exton Elias, Robert Downey Jr. gushed to Men’s Fitness recently, “What can I even say about her? I’m crazy about her. Everybody’s opinion isn’t right all the time, but as far as averages go, if she wants to, she could hit to the same seat in the bleachers over and over and over again. That sort of consistency is awe-inspiring. We give each other the freedom to explore who and what we really are, which is great, because we’re always changing. I know I’ve changed a fair amount over the last decade, but she’s changed 10 times more than I have.”
