Robert Downey, Jr. knocked out by Robert Maillet

Submitted by Scott on Monday, 1 December 2008One Comment

Robert Maillet (pictured above from ‘300′) apparently knocked out Robert Downey, Jr. during the shooting of a fight scene in Guy Ritchie’s ‘Sherlock Holmes’. Apparently the 7 foot ex wrestler threw a punch and caught Downey, Jr. on the chin, and knocked him out cold. The blow required 6 stitches! Holy shit man! I know you are a brute but don’t you know its supposed to be fake?

Downey, Jr. is fine now and shooting is resuming as we speak…

Trust me this man is no brute . I graduated with Robert and i can state that for such a big man he’s shy and soft spoken. I don’t think he’d hurt a fly , accidents happen .
