The eldest son of Downey Jr., Indio, has already become famous for his scandalous antics to his 20 years, so the article will deal specifically with him.

Biography

Indio Falconer Downey was born on September 7, 1993. His mother is a model and singer Deborah Falconer is the first official spouse of Robert.

As a child, the son was very close to his father and spent all his free time with him. Robert took Indio Downey for shooting and tried to teach the boy to act from childhood. However, the star father did not realize that he shows his son not only all the delights of Hollywood, but also his way of life. 12 years ago Robert suffered from the most terrible drug addiction and was a frequent guest in rehabilitation centers. However, each time leaving the threshold of the clinic, the brawler took over the old.

After Downey Jr. was fired from the studio, he was jailed for 16 months for storing strong drugs and weapons. Then the baby Indio was only 3 years old. After 8 years, Deborah could not stand the constant tricks of her husband and filed for divorce. The eldest son was very upset with the parents' break, but the boy was still always with his father.

The following years

Unfortunately, the sad experience of the stellar father did not teach the boy anything good. On the contrary, Indio Downey decided to completely copy his parent, especially with regard to narcotic drugs. It all began quite innocuous. First, the matured son Downey Jr. began taking light painkillers, which he prescribed a doctor. However, after some time Indio began to increase the dosage of tablets and, without noticing, became addicted to them.

Not seeing anything wrong with this, the young man began to experiment and switched to more serious drugs. At this time he lived with his mother, who did not even notice a change in the behavior of her son. Indigo Downey and his father did not pay attention to the dependence. However, later the star of cult films admitted that he considers himself guilty in the addictive habit of his son. The fact is that Robert's father (grandfather Indio) also suffered from drug addiction and even gave marijuana to try his son when he was only 8 years old.

Based on this rich history, it was easy to conclude that these genes will be passed on.

Arrest

When Indio Downey was 21, his car found illegal drugs. The young man was charged, and threatened a real term of imprisonment, because under the law of the state he was already of age. However, the investigation dragged on, and Indio was sent to the clinic, where he successfully passed a long course of treatment from addiction.

While the son was in the rehabilitation center, Robert Downey supported him and with all his might tried to help the boy avoid the repetition of his fate. Having successfully completed the entire course of treatment, Indio returned to the courtroom in February 2016. He managed to convince the judge that he was cured, and the charges were dropped. This moment became a turning point in the life of the young man, and he decided to take his mind seriously.

As Robert stated, he looked with pride at how his first-born was able to overcome this difficult test. He also said that he is very proud of his son and believes that he will never return to this addiction.

Acting

After Indio was cured of drugs, he decided to devote himself to acting. In this he, of course, helped by his star father. In 2005 Indio and Robert together starred in the movie "Kiss on the flight", telling the story of the unlucky thief Harry, who accidentally presses the alarm button during the robbery of a small shop, escapes from the police and gets on the set of one of the films, after which it becomes Actor. The son of Robert played a rather big role in the movie thieves.

This filmography Indio Downey confined himself, and he completely devoted himself to playing the guitar. Together with his friend Ralf Alexander, the young man organized several groups and so far he does not plan to return to the demountable platform.

Downey Jr. is not against the hobbies of his son and tries to give him maximum support. As the actor himself admits, he is very glad that he can finally relax, stop worrying about the first-born, start engaging in his career and raising other children.
