Robert Downey Jr. knows he has amassed an impressive collection of classic cars — one he self-deprecatingly refers to as artifacts of his success.
But trophies, it turns out for the actor, are not all they are cracked up to be. It's that dissatisfaction that helped to inspire “Downey’s Dream Cars,” his latest project debuting Thursday on Max. In it, Downey experiments with genre in a kind of eco-friendly “Pimp My Ride” that is also part memoir and a documentary about the latest advancements in clean technology. But trophies, it turns out for the actor, are not all they are cracked up to be.
Despite his expectations of what the “accouterments are supposed to be” when one reaches a certain level of fame and wealth, trophies, it turns out for the actor, are not all they are cracked up to be. It’s that dissatisfaction that helped to inspire “Downey’s Dream Cars,” his latest project debuting Thursday on Max.
“The cash and prizes, it’s never been what motivated me. So, I shouldn’t be surprised that it’s still not,” Downey said at the show’s premiere, held last week at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles. While “Downey’s Dream Cars” is very much a show for gearheads, it isn’t restricted to that audience. Downey experiments with genre in a kind of eco-friendly “Pimp My Ride” that is also part memoir and a documentary about the latest advancements in clean technology.
