Robert Downey Jr. does the cowboy thing for GQ UK: sexy or meh?

rdj1

Robert Downey Jr. covers the new issue of GQ UK Style, and the shoot was by Inez & Vinoodh. I like him as a cowboy, honestly. You’d think that he’s too… modern, I guess, too much of a fancy man, a dandy, to pull off the cowboy thing. But he makes it work, and now I really, really want to see him in cowboy boots and a cowboy hat. I bet he would be sexy as hell. Oh… yeah. Unlike those Gerard Butler-Ralph Fiennes photos from earlier, these photos are doing it for me.

Since we don’t have excerpts from the interview or anything, I’m guessing that RDJ is just beginning his promotional rounds for Sherlock Holmes 2: Game of Shadows. When I went to see The Debt, the were already showing the trailer for the film. I can’t wait! You know that Noomi Rapace is in it, right? She was the original Lisbeth Salander, and probably the best. I’m not going to get all judgy about Rooney Mara yet, but I just saw some photos of Mara, and… ugh. Team Noomi.

Also: remember, RDJ and Susan are expecting their first child together! I’m so happy for them. I bet she got pregnant as soon as RDJ came home in this cowboy outfit.

  2. Cherry says:

    Hahaha, he’s a dandy cowboy! That last pic is hilarious. I love RDJ. He’s all kinds of hot.

  3. melissa says:

    Yes, please.

  4. Danziger says:

    Gorgeous eyes, gorgeous face. Just my type. And yes, that outfit.

  5. Nanz says:

    I think I just got pregnant looking at these pics.

  6. Nat says:

    I don’t normally like when men (but not only) wear jeans from top to bottom but for some strange reason – when RDJ does is – well, let’s put it this way – it doesn’t bother me at all. Pure sex!!!

  7. Misty G says:

    He looks good, but most cowboys do not dress like that. In fact, I’m pretty sure they would not be caught dead in an orange coat.

  8. serena says:

    I seriously can’t wait I love RDJ and Jude too much together.

  9. Mikki says:

    Wow…just what I needed to warm up on a chilly morning! Love him!

  10. Franny says:

    I usually never get all hot and bothered over guys on this site (or any site really) but jesus christ. He is everything a man should be.

  11. Stubbylove says:

    RDJ could do a troll thing for anything and it would be sexy.

  12. original kate says:

    omg – do we even need to debate this?

    *swoons*

  13. Glyrics says:

    Mmmmmmmmm All of it. Even the buckle. No wait, ESPECIALLY the buckle!

  14. RocketMerry says:

    Sexy, sexy man. Yum!

  15. Emma says:

    Um. No. CREEPY, sorry lol.

  16. Christine says:

    He’s never done it for me. I don’t like cowboys as a rule. But these pics? Those eyes. OMG. YES.

  17. Happy21 says:

    He is one of those men who has gotten better with age to me. Maybe because I’m not into boys anymore but into men and man he is one in every sense of the word. DAMN!

  18. noirod says:

    yummy!!!

    • bev says:

      sorry! no slices left…mine all mine. surprised there is any left…thought i had finished my plate in the 80s..x

  19. Delta Juliet says:

    Ditto to the “not a fan of head-to-toe denim”, but I AM a fan of RDJ. I don’t care what he’s wearing. (Even better if he could be wearing nothing??? swooon!)

  20. truetalk says:

    SMOKING HOT!!!. I love when a man looks effortlessly sexy,i think it’s something about the eyes.

  21. Rachelle says:

    SO SEXY! I love him! Robert Downey Jr. appeals to everyone in some form. He is hot and talented. Susan is so lucky.

  22. Mary says:

    Oh God, this photo made my day. He’s sooo sexy!!

  23. HeiN says:

    Oh. My.

  24. rkintn says:

    OMFG…I’ve got a thing for cowboys and damn, RDJ, is SMOKIN’. If they had put him in a pair of chaps, we’d all be pregnant by now;)

  25. Happy21 says:

    @rkintn!!!!!!!!!!!LOL…love it!

  26. Twez says:

    He’s only gotten better looking as he’s aged.

  27. Az says:

    He has aged so well. He’s always had the most gorgeous eyes, though. Those eyelashes? To die for.

  28. lizzie says:

    That orange jacket is amazing. He can pull off the more “eccentric” looking clothes. Like….can you imagine Clooney wearing that! lol.
    oh wouldn’t a RDJ and Ryan Gosling film be really good! i think they’d have great chemistry.

  29. Anna says:

    I have always thought Robert was incredibly sexy. These photos just make him even more smoking hot though. He has the most beautiful brown eyes (among other things).

  30. carrie says:

    The cover is nice but the other pix don’t work for me

  31. mzjask says:

    he can wear a paper sack and i’d love him. Ahhhhh, the hubby did RDJ as Tony Stark for halloween last year and this year he’s doing RDJ as Lincoln Osiris in Tropic Thunder.
    needless to say; RDJ can do No Wrong in our household!!
    DEFINITELY on “My List!!” 😉

  32. carrie says:

    does he join the club of Chuck Norris and Colin Farrell(“we want to be a cow-boy but we live in LA”)?

  33. Alix says:

    Not feelin’ the cowboy thing AT ALL.

  34. Sillyone says:

    He can be a cowboy and I will be his horse and that f@cker can ride me all day and night!

  35. pato says:

    love him!!!

  36. Gem says:

    Back off — he’s MINE!

  37. Memphis says:

    Love RDJ! I find his attitude and honesty (and those eyes 🙂 )very sexy.

  38. Blithe says:

    I’m just glad he got a second chance at a career. He’s uber-talented.

  39. Eve says:

    Yeah, I’d hit that for DAYS.

  40. Jazz says:

    Save a horse – ride a Downey!!

  41. Laura says:

    Ooooh
    Thank you very much for greatly improving my day. God I love him.

  42. sbuttrflyy says:
