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
