Robert Downey Jr. explained that he's gone plant-based in a recent interview with Variety. While promoting his new project Dolittle he made a comment about not eating chicken anymore, and his wife confirmed.

Robert's wife Susan Downey was a producer for the upcoming movie, and while at the film premiere, Robert raved about her hard work. "She is the greatest creative producer in the history of cinema,” Robert told Variety.

“And I make faces for cash and chicken," he said, before adding, "Even though no, I’m off chicken now.”

“Not chicken anymore!” Susan also confirmed. Robert then corrected himself by saying, "I’m going plant-based! For cash and legumes."

I guess you could say that Iron Man's powers come from the armor and his healthy lifestyle choices. Robert's diet isn't the only thing he's doing to try and limit his ecological impact, as last year he announced a project called "Footprint Coalition" that is set to launch around April of this year, according to Green Matters.

Robert has said in the past that this project will explore how to use robotics to fight climate change which is something Tony Stark would do. It's not clear if Robert is living a totally vegan lifestyle, or if he is just eating plant-based foods but that's totally a step in the right direction especially as he gears up to implement more change through the Footprint Coalition. Thanks for living life like Iron Man, Robert, we love you 3000!
