If you ever get the chance to interview Robert Downey Jr, you might want to avoid asking him about jail or drugs.
The Avengers: Age of Ultron star walked out of his Channel 4 News interview with anchor Krishnan Guru-Murthy after taking issue with his choice of questions.
Downey Jr became noticeably more uncomfortable when Guru-Murthy referred to a 2008 interview in which the star opened up about how his time in prison affected him, at one point asking: "Are we promoting a movie?"
As Guru-Murthy brought the interview back towards the star's personal life - referencing past interviews where he spoke about his relationship with his father, drinking and drugs - Downey Jr said: "I'm sorry, I really don't... what are we doing?"
The actor then made a hasty exit as Guru-Murthy tried to apologise, quipping "it's just getting a little Diane Sawyer in here" as he left the room.

David Cameron could act to bring UK territories into line on offshore investments but he's in thrall to powerful City players
The British media is now in moving-on mode on the issue of tax havens. It would do well to pause, be less excitable about the pantomime of brand shaming and actually examine the depth to which tax havenry is hardwired into our economic model and columns of state.
Among the millions of column inches generated in the past two years on this issue, three words you will not find in sequential order are "City of London". Extraordinary, when one considers the critical advantage our tax haven network offers the preponderance of offshore lawyers and accountants that cluster the Square Mile, siphoning off the rewards of capital flight. And that network that is growing, not receding.
