ROBERT DOWNEY JR'S BATTLE HATE

Action star Robert Downey Jr. refuses to stay in his seat during action scenes in movies he watches.

Robert Downey Jr. hates fight scenes in films.

The 'Iron Man' star - who has appeared in several action movies - goes to get more popcorn when the punches start flying at the cinema.

The 44-year-old actor said: "I've seen a bunch of movies where you think, here comes the big action sequence and there's the explosion and...

"That's when I go off to get more popcorn because I know the guys at the CGI studio or the stunt guys have taken over and I'm not following the story any more."

Robert has just finished filming Guy Ritchie's 'Sherlock Holmes', in which he plays the title character.

It's a movie with a lot of fight scenes, but Robert insists they're "smart" enough to keep even him in his seat.

He explained: "In this film, we just keep talking about how do we keep these characters alive during these big sequences? We're really working our butts off to get the script, the action, the overall look of the film to super, super high quality.

"To make a really solid piece of entertainment because I think audiences are too savvy and they'll get p***ed off if we talk up this great movie and then we don't really deliver."
