What cracks me up is even thought Alex knows it's RDJ the actor, not "Tony Stark", RDJ still is in character the whole time here.<br /><br />Gotta give props to Albert Manero too for all his hard work in helping children with challenges like Alex. Definitely a case of technology being used for good, instead of all the negative news we hear all the time such as hacking, identity theft, cyberwars, etc.<br /><br /><br />- Mike 'Waiting for the day a 3D printer can make a pizza' from Trinidad & Tobago.

I honestly read him as being rather nervous (almost like stage fright), BUT he does a champion job of relying on his natural charisma and easy charm and wit to carry him through the event with success. In other words, he looks like he's going chin-first out of his comfort zone for someone else's benefit. To me, this makes him a good guy, no question.<br /><br />Heh-- it does help that the young boy, although not terribly talkative, is clearly bright and engaged. LOTS of kids simply freeze up in an on-the-spot situation like that. Think, "Picture on Santa's lap", y'know?<br /><br />HBHumanbellynoreply@blogger.com
