LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - JUNE 16: Robert Downey Jr. attends Max's Downey's Dream Cars Tastemaker Event at Petersen Automotive Museum on June 16, 2023 in Los Angeles, California. The "Oppenheimer" actor spent time in jail in the '90s and after his release was later sentenced to federal prison for skipping out on probation after being arrested while driving under the influence.
Actor Robert Downey Jr. is taken into custody after being charged with possession of cocaine and speed following a judge's decision inside a Malibu courtroom December 8, 1997 in Malibu, CA. "It was kind of like just being in a really bad neighborhood, and there was no opportunity there; there was only threats," Downey added. "So, yes, everyone"Walking onto the yard that you're gonna be doing more than a year on for the first time, the closest thing I can associate it to is being sent to a distant planet where there is no way home until the planets align...," the actor explained.
Downey was arrested in 1996 and charged with driving under the influence. Police also found heroin, cocaine, crack and a .357 Magnum in his vehicle. California's governor pardoned Downey in 2016, which ultimately restored the actor's voting rights. The pardon didn't erase the actor's conviction, but was a public proclamation that the person has demonstrated "exemplary behavior," according to the governor's office."I was brought to a surprisingly friendly processing center, given a stern warning and returned to, if memory serves, one very disappointed group chaperone," Downey said.
