AceShowbiz - Robert Downey Jr. had an intense staredown with Jimmy Fallon when he stopped by "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" on Wednesday, October 8. The skit featured the two guys dressing as hermits complete with long hair pondering the mysteries of the universe while sitting in the snowy mountains.
The "Iron Man" actor and the comedian did not speak but shared some supposedly "wise" sayings through their minds. "Osprey, I await. Pray upon my loins. Mount my torso like the bull of Poseidon," Downey Jr. said.
In another segment, Fallon explained the background of those two hermits. He said, "Those two characters out there ... almost had a fight over Oolong tea." He added, "They actually got trapped up on that mountain and one had to eat the other. Sad ending."
In an interview with the host, Downey Jr. talked about his new movie "The Judge". "The Judge is just fantastic! And, with Robert Duvall!" Fallon gushed. He jokingly said, "I'm not going to spoil it for anyone, but he dies in the end," before showing a clip of the movie.
"The Judge", which will open in U.S. theaters October 10, centers on big city lawyer Hank Palmer (Downey Jr.) who returns to his childhood home where his estranged father, the town's judge (Duvall), is suspected of murder. He sets out to discover the truth and along the way reconnects with the family he walked away from years before.
