Robert Downey Jr. Reveals The Eye-Catching Place He Keeps His Oscar

Robert Downey Jr.  recently won his very first Academy Award and the Oppenheimer star already has some firm ideas about what you should and shouldnt do with your Oscar. 

I dont think you should walk around to the afterparties and carry it. I dont think you should flaunt it, he told E! News last week at the premiere of his new series, The Sympathizer. 

I couldnt get him to carry it around that night, his wife, Susan Downey, chimed in.

Despite the actors insistence on not boasting about his statuette, he also doesnt think you should use it as a toilet paper holder or anything, either. 

When E! asked where his Oscar was in his house, Downey Jr. said, Right now, its in the entryway. 

The Iron Man actor took home the Best Supporting Actor award last month, and thanked his terrible childhood and the Academy,  in his speech. 

It was his first win and third Academy Award nomination. 

Downey Jr. was first nominated in the Best Actor category for his role as Charlie Chaplin in the 1992 film Chaplin, but has since explained it was a blessing in disguise that he didnt win at the time. 

I was young and crazy, and it would have put me under the impression that I was on the right track, Downey, who was just 28 years old at the time, said during an interview on The View in January. 

Downey Jr. never gave up hope on winning an Oscar, and as he told GQ in 2013   he always figured hed win at least one. 

Well, I know its going to happen, he told the magazine at the time, confidently adding, Thats just a fact. 

I, personally, would be shocked if we went to the end of the tape now and I didnt have at least one, Downey Jr. postured. Look, even if I dont get one directly, eventually theyre just going to have to give me one when I get old. So no matter how you slice it, Im getting one.
