Robert Downey Jr. and Jimmy Fallon got deep on Wednesday's Tonight Show, pondering the mysteries of the universe while sitting on a mountaintop. To do this, the star of The Judge and the late-night host engaged in an "Intense Staredown"—so intense, it seems, that they could hear each other's thoughts!
"Osprey, I await; prey upon my loins. Mount my torso like the bull of Poseidon," began a wig-wearing RDJ.
Jimmy, rocking a long, dark-haired wig of his own, broadcast his thoughts of being "struck by lightening over 20 times" in life, also thinking aloud, "I am a perfectly normal 55-year-old mother of four. "
Things continued in seemingly non sequitur direction, with RDJ's thoughts drifting to "the essential elements of the universe: earth, air, water, fire [and] Domino's stuffed crust pepperoni pizza."
The 49-year-old actor went on to comically think of "crying out" like a dolphin, and moments later, spent an extended period of time being "about to sneeze" before finally caving in to his sinuses. He made a Third Eye Blind reference ("Gaze into my third eye; you see me, but I do not see you. I am Third Eye Blind!"), before reconnecting with Jimmy so their thoughts could sing a verse of "Semi-Charmed Life."
Reaching zen with Jimmy wasn't all Downey did on the Tonight Show, though! He also chatted with the late-night host (they both ditched the wigs) about wife Susan Downey and their baby-to-be. "[My] first girl—I hope she wants to be an actress," he quipped, adding jokingly, "So stable!"
Dad seems to have done OK in the biz! The Judge hits theaters Friday.
