Robert Downey Jr’s Generational honour

Robert Downey Jr. ”clawed” his way to the top.

The 50-year-old actor was presented with the Generation Award at last night’s (04.12.15) MTV Movie Awards by his ‘Avengers’ co-stars Scarlett Johansson, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth and Jeremy Renner – who all dropped down to their knees when he took to the stage – and recalled his past troubles and struggles that he has turned away from and seen his career go from strength to strength.

The actor – who has previously battled drug addiction but has been clean for almost 12 years – said: ”When I witnessed the first MTV Movie Awards. The first was in 1992, and that’s my generation’s version of the Oscars. And when the first Generational Award was given in 2005, I thought where’s mine!?

”In the 34 years that have passed since the birth of MTV, I’ve grown up, I’ve failed, succeeded, partied way too much, begged for second chances and literally clawed my way to the top.

”Dream big, work hard, keep your nose clean. Be of service, and yes, because you can — define your generation.”

The ‘Iron Man’ star then went on to praise his co-stars.

He added to the audience at Los Angeles’ Nokia Theatre: ”I try to live honorably and never forget my love of the game and my friends

”If a man is judged by the company he keeps then I must be doing something right, because look at who I’m rolling with.”

Before leaving the stage, the actor – who has 21-year-old son Indio from a previous marriage and son Exton, three, and daughter Avri, five months, with wife Susan Levin – introduced a new clip from the forthcoming blockbuster ‘Avengers: Age of Ultron’.

Bradley Cooper to move in with Suki Waterhouse

Bradley Cooper is moving in with Suki Waterhouse.

The ‘American Sniper’ star is reportedly trying to find a London-based pad for himself and the 23-year-old beauty so the pair can live together while he stays in the English capital for his 12-week stint in the West End show ‘The Elephant Man’ in May.

A source told The Sun newspaper: ”It has always been Bradley’s dream to perform on the West End, but it means he also gets to live with Suki too.”

The 40-year-old actor is said to be ”smitten” with Suki and in the relationship for the long-haul after she received the ”stamp of approval” from his mother, Gloria.

A source said: ”Bradley is totally smitten. His family all love her too and most importantly she has the stamp of approval from his mother, Gloria.”

The couple – who began dating in February 2013 – were first rumoured to be looking for their own love nest last year but it was thought the duo were house-hunting in the Los Angeles area so Bradley could stay close to his mother following his father’s death in 2010.

Suki is equally excited to move in with the hunky actor and has previously admitted she is ready to ”have a home” and settle down.

She said: ”I don’t really live anywhere. We’re travelling gypsies – it’s wherever we’re working. But I’m desperate to have a home.”

Bradley has also made it known he is keen to have children in the future and described starting a family as the ”next big step” in his life.

He said: ”I would love to be a father one day. I’m sorry my father won’t be around to see his grandchildren, but he knows fatherhood was something I was looking forward to. That’s my next big step in life.”

Robin Williams to stay sober, says Joel McHale

Robin Williams will ”win” his battle with alcoholism, says Joel McHale.

The iconic comedian checked into rehab recently to help him maintain his long-term sobriety, and his ‘Merry Friggin’ Christmas’ co-star has backed him to continue on the right path.

He told the New York Daily News newspaper’s Confidenti@l column: ”He wore his struggles and sobriety and was very up front and candid about what he has gone through.

”I know he is a man who likes to win and be healthy. So him going back to rehab, I pray it all works out.”

The ‘Community’ star also described working with Robin as an education, and insisted he ”would kill for the man” because he is ”such an open soul”.

He added: ”I have never met anybody with a bigger brain than him … When you talk to Robin you think, ‘I have learned more in the last 20 minutes than I ever learned.’

”He is such an open soul and one of the most sensitive and great guys, and I would kill for the man. And I have already offered to kill people for him.”

Robin’s representative recently confirmed: ”After working back-to-back projects, Robin is simply taking the opportunity to fine-tune and focus on his continued commitment, of which he remains extremely proud.”
