Young Robert Downey Jr during a photoshoot by Russel Wong. 1988

“Hey Russel, put this music on. My buddies U2 gave me this demo of their new album.”

I cranked Bono up, and before I knew it, he was dancing, singing to it and playing around towards my camera.

We then set up the lights for the portrait and whilst I was doing the test shots, Robert turned to me and said: ⁣⁣⁣

“You know what, you should be hanging out with me cause i’m gonna be so big Russel!”⁣⁣⁣

⁣⁣⁣He was joking but there was a twinkle in his eye and he knew it and I knew it too that this was for real. There was just something about this guy!
