Robert Downey Jr. Became A Real-Life Superhero To An Old Woman

“Some fifteen years after that garden party, ten years after my grandmother had died and five since he’d been released from prison, I saw him in a restaurant,” Dana Reinhardt shared.

It is a code in Los Angeles not to bother celebrities who are having their meal but she decided to break that rule on that day and approached Robert Downey Jr.

She retold the story of her grandmother and then the actor remembered that instance. “I just wanted to thank you. And I wanted to tell you that it was simply the kindest act I’ve ever witnessed,” she said to him.

Then, the Iron Man actor stood and took the hands of Reinhardt and said, “You have absolutely no idea how much I needed to hear that today.”
