Robert Downey Jr. was in a sentimental mood as he cruised toward his 58th birthday on Tuesday.

In a video posted the following day, the Avengers: Endgame star shared a sweet video to Instagram featuring some of the highlights of his past year, including some unexpected footage of his three sons, who are rarely photographed or filmed.

He shares his adult son Indio, 29, with his first wife Deborah Falconer, and he has two younger sons — Exton, 11, and Avri, eight — with his current wife Susan Downey.

The birthday video looked back on Downey’s experiences filming Christopher Nolan’s hotly anticipated film Oppenheimer, as well as the upcoming miniseries based on Viet Thanh Nguyen’s Pulitzer Prize–winning novel The Sympathizer, which allows him to play multiple roles.

He even looked back at some fun footage of his two youngest boys shaving his head from last year, which they did to help him navigate the multiple wigs he has had to wear for the seven-episode series, which is being produced by HBO and A24.

Downey captioned his video: ’57 you’ve been too kind / with deep gratitude I shall rewind..’

It opened with him looking overjoyed as his family sang him Happy Birthday while presenting him with a birthday cake with two tiers of candles.

He wore a white baseball cap and a white T-shirt with a comical photoshopped image of Bruce Lee wearing sunglasses with headphones draped around his neck as he stands in front of a DJ’s turntable.

Eagle-eyed Marvel fans will recognize the DJing Bruce Lee from a different shirt that the actor has worn while playing Tony Stark, and he is apparently a fan of the silly design in real life.

He then launched into a look back at the last 365 days with a black and white photo of himself in costume from Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer, about J. Robert Oppenheimer, the director of the Los Alamos Laboratory that designed the first atomic bombs.

Downey is featured in the film as Lewis Strauss, who was involved in the creation of the bomb and the subsequent push to develop the more powerful hydrogen bomb.

‘Thanks to the Nolans we are of one accord,’ he captioned the photo.

Then he shared a beaming photo of himself as he thanked ‘Hugh Herr and the MIT bionics board.’

Saying goodbye: The actor also recalled participating in the documentary Sr., about his late father, the influential independent filmmaker Robert Downey Sr.,’ who died in 2021

The actor also recalled participating in the documentary Sr., about his late father, the influential independent filmmaker Robert Downey Sr.,’ who died in 2021.

‘The doc about “Sr.” surely hit close to home,’ he wrote over a photo of his father and a brief clip of the two filmed from behind as he helped the frail older man walk.

Downey’s son’s looked enthusiastic in the next clip as they got a chance to shave his ‘dome.’

The clip came from a Halloween-themed video posted back in October, in which the two youngest sons got to dress him up as a jack-o-lantern after shaving his head.

But the haircut wasn’t just for a costume, as he shaved it all off to better play multiple characters in The Sympathizer, as the shaved head would make it easier to wear some of the balding wigs without having to wear a fake-looking bald cap.

The Wonder Boys actor included two photos of himself on The Sympathizer’s set in two different costumes, both of which required different wigs, though one was covered by his character’s hat.

He reserved praise for his oldest son Indio by calling him one of his ‘favorite musicians’ and including a black-and-white photo of the two together.

In closeup, he could be seen cheering for his son Exton at a baseball game, which was a ‘heck of a time.’
