Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer features Robert Downey Jr. as Lewis Strauss. Here's what happened to him after the events of the movie.
Lewis Strauss continued to live his life involved in politics after the events of Oppenheimer. Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer may be centered on Cillian Murphy's J. Robert Oppenheimer, dubbed the "father of the atomic bomb." That being said, the epic biological movie based on the 2005 biography written by Kai Bird and Martin J.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Playing Strauss in Oppenheimer is Robert Downey Jr. This is the actor's first high-profile role since wrapping up his more than decade-long stint playing Iron Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Downey Jr. isn't new to playing real-life people on the big screen. In 1992, he earned his first Academy Award nomination for playing the titular character in Richard Attenborough's Chaplin.
Despite walking away from serving in the government, the rejection of his Commerce nomination by the Senate plagued Strauss' final days. In his downfall, however, his many adversaries celebrated. He attempted to remind the public of his service before he was embroiled in the complicated world of politics by releasing the memoir, Men and Decisions in 1962. Despite his tainted legacy, Strauss maintained a good relationship with Eisenhower and Herbert Hoover.
Lewis Strauss Died In 1974, 7 Years After Oppenheimer Although Strauss retired from working in the government, he lived on his farm, the Brandy Rock Farm, in Brandy Station, Virginia. Despite developing a penchant for farming activities such as cattle breeding, he still remained active in public service during his final years. He devoted his time to various philanthropic endeavors, including the American Jewish Committee.
