How Susan Saved Robert From Addiction?

RDJ grew up with a father who was a recovering alcoholic, which impacted his young brain, leading to a life of difficulties and regret.

His years of struggles were finally coming to an end when he agreed to do the movie Gothica. It became the most important move of his life because it introduced him to Susan.

At first, Levin viewed the problematic actor as “strange,” and didn’t think anything remotely romantic with him. However, something drew Downey Jr. to Susan, and with his irresistible charm, he was able to secure a date with her, and then another, and the rest history.

The bright-eyed and innocent Susan was thrust into a strange world with Robert, who was still acting erratically. Before meeting him, Levin confessed that she had no prior experience with addicts and that a lot of things were going over her head:

“I had no idea what addiction was. I was completely unaware of the power it held on people.”

The Avenger star started working more on his addiction, following his wife’s request to leave him. He understood he had to do whatever it took to keep his spouse in his life. Susan had a grasp on him like no other, as if she was supposed to come into his life and save him; according to the Iron Man actor, Robert can’t seem to get enough of his wife.

Susan in an interview said: they fit together like pieces of a puzzle and weren’t complete until they met.

“I think he saw what we had. There was something magical there, something we couldn’t put our finger on. He always says that we became this third thing when we got together — something that neither of us could have become by ourselves — and I think that’s true.”

RDJ credit all his success to his partner and kids and accepts that his family saved him from the years of darkness.
