Sent to you by tony via Google Reader: Robert Downey Jr. Tries To Comfort Little Kid Who Wanted Iron Man via Nerd Approved - Gadgets and Gizmos by Nicole Wakelin on 6/14/13 Tony Stark may think he's pretty cool, but to kids he's just some guy unless he's in his Iron Man suit. While Robert Downey Jr. was out in western Massachusetts filming The Judge he bumped into 1 1/2-year-old fan Jaxson Denno who was expecting Iron Man . Downey, in jeans and a polo shirt did not fit the bill and little Denno was heartbroken. According to his Mom, once Downey took a moment to talk to him, her son was fine. I'm not sure who looks more stricken in this picture, Jaxson or poor Robert Downey, Jr. (via People )         Things you can do from here: Subscribe to Nerd Approved - Gadgets and Gizmos using Google Reader Get started using Google Reader
