Robert Downey Jr. credits wife Susan, a Hollywood producer whom he met on the set of 2003's Gothika, with helping him stay sober and stage a career comeback. "I really don't want to thank my wife, because I could be bussing tables at the Daily Grill right now, if not for her," he joked in his 2010 Golden Globes acceptance speech, a year before the couple announced they're expecting their first child.
