Hello, Sherlock
Filed under: Film Flickers > Robert Downey Jr. > Guy Ritchie
Here's a peek at Robert Downey Jr. as Sherlock Holmes!
Guy Ritchie, RDJ and the Sherlock Holmes crew were on location at St. Paul's Cathedral in London on Friday filming a few scenes for the flick.
For a minute we thought the pic was from RDJ's Charlie Chaplin days!

Ummm…starbucks? I take it this was an "on the set" kind of moment…
From Ironman to Sherlock Holmes, hmmm… not bad… not bad at all
HOLY CRAP!!! I was first…God I have reached a new level of bored and pathetic!!
And P.S…Hey Robbie!! I am a Barista, tell me what's in that Venti! I will make you anything you want baby!!
nice hat
sooooo hot
Perez, it's Chaplin, not Chaplain
Chaplin*
Nice.
haha love the starbucks
but idk… he doesn't look very holmes-y…
Let's hope there is actually coffee or something in there… hahaha.
Go to Youtube and type in this exactly: Manning's Fierce Prayer for Bristol Palin
Everyone is going crazy of this damn election!!!!!!!
he is precioso
GROAN. I'm a huge fan of the Sherlock Holmes series, and I love Robert Downey Jr, but I am SO not liking this at all. There's no way anyone can do better than the Sherlock Holmes series with Jeremy Brett.
Of course, I'll go see it, but I just have a BAD feeling about it…
Mm . . . blah. I usually really like this era and the Holmes fiction, but this picture isn't grabbing me at all. Even he looks kind of uncertain.Total meh.
Yeah that bowler hat is so chaplin
Love this
Aww!!!! He looks so cute
D
BY GEORGE, THE REPUBLIKUNT VICE PEREZIDENTIAL NOMINEE GOES BY THE NAME "STRAP ON SARAH" SINCE HER QUEERFACED HUBBY LOVES TO GET HIS MANLY LOVE BUTTON POKED WITH A 10 INCH STRAP ON DILDO!
gross
I'd do him.
oh what, so now its the cool thing to appear in character b4 your movie even finishes filming? lol Way to go Tom Cruise and Baron Von Cohen
what the
He's so gorgeous no matter what he does. I'm fully looking forward to this movie!
Although I'm sure he's got the chops for acting the part, I too though this was of him as Charlie Chaplin. He soo does not scream "Sherlock Holmes." I realize they want to go with a different look for the character, and use an American instead of a British actor as well, but unless it's just because he wasn't "in" character, it just doesn't work for me.
I am glad that he did not OD. He is a fucking great actor.
PS
Basil Rathbone is the quintessential Sherlock Holmes.
Just got home from B. Did pretty good on your card with your lucky numbers
Ymi ms. Nite, B 46
I love him. I am so glad he's back!
Why the fuck is a *barely* talented director like Guy Ritchie directing this?! The ONLY reason we know his name is because he's married to Madonna. I love RDJ, but come on? Guy Ritchie? Jesus Christ! It's going to be a piece of shit!!
I am Ironman.
GUY BITCHIE COULDN'T DIRECT TRAFFIC ON A ONE-WAY STREET!!!!!
I just came.
the starbucks cup is an interesting twist. Not a method actor then
Ok, so clearly the producers don't give a shit about following the character's description.
EWWWWWWWWWWWW !! this guy is soooooooooooo FUG looking not to mention overrated as an "actor " !!
Awww I love it. Very Believable.
um…i have read all of the Sherlock Holmes stories. Sherlock Holmes was a major drug addict, often disappearing for days at a time into opium dens. so i guess when ignorant people claim the story line is not being followed, they are referring to the story line of the bad Hollywood movies that did not follow the real story line? i guess that is what happens when one looks to Hollywood to explain literature. true–Doyle describes Holmes as thin and angular, so Downey's short muscular stature fails to capture that. Holmes also has a problem with women, so we will see how they handle that. but the tired ass fucked-up look works for many reasons, one being that Sherlock was a master of disguise in addition to a drug addict. also, sometimes he did not wear that fucking coat and smoke that fucking pipe even when he was not in disguise. so consider yourself served, bitches.
What do you have against Britney, and why won't you post her video?
She, more than any star, has made the absolute biggest comeback and changes in her life ever - yet you refuse to acknowledge her? That's really sad, and snotty at the same time.
BTW, cute picture.
Its Chaplin,i have a feeling it will be another flop with big names.
okay..this isn't his best shot..but DAMN!!!! he is HOOOOOTTTT!!!!!!..love love love love LOVE him!!!!
you are the best man!!!
Looks more like Charlie Chaplin to me.
Sherlock Chaplin??? WTF!!!??? This movie is going to suck big time
Awww…even Sherlock Holmes enjoys his occasional Starbucks.
I hear this Guy Ritchie film is actually supposed to be good,but I doubt it will be.
Movies about Sherlock Holmes have been done soooo many times.Boring!
He doesn't look that good..maybe it's because he's between takes. Hmm I'm worried suddenly.
I'm happy for this guy. What a beautiful success story. Keep it up, Robert. We are all very proud of you.
It's amazing: he is one of those men who is only looking better and better as he ages. How does he do that?
He looks a dick in that hat, far too big for his head.
It will be interesting to see what Guy Ritchie has in mind with this casting against type for Sherlock Holmes. A down-to-earth Holmes with a touch of scruff is a quirky departure from the traditional portrayal, and yet when you read Conan Doyle's original stories there is not much to prevent such an interpretation, provided that Holmes is forever smart and cool-headed.
too scrubby to be sherlock holmes. Imo Basil Rathbone did it the best, always looking sharp and acting very gentlemen-like
I just don't like this casting at all.
He's a great actor but when the canon material puts so much time into describing the physical characteristics and mannerisms of its lead character and then they cast someone who looks nothing like that description, it annoys me. As excited as I was at the prospect of a current adaptation of the stories, I'm really not anymore, especially with Ritchie directing. :/
I can't stand this tool.
Fuck shit, I know what I know and I know that I like this nutsack. He's welcome into our chocolate factory.
he looks tired ! just a little like as "chaplin"!
What a babe! He is drop dead georgeous. I just watched Ironman this weekend for the third time!
every time i see an american playing an iconic english chqaracter i die a bit more inside

Is there something hidden in the grip of his right hand?
*
At first glance, this photo says to me, "Geek Stink Breath". I'm thinking what's really in that starbucks cup and is there a doobie hidden in the other hand.
*
But after 5 seconds my love and admiration for RDJ kicks in. He's a fabulous actor. I will always admire him for overcoming his serious addiction problem and reclaiming his major star status.
*
I have yet to see major talent in any work by Guy Ritchie.

is my avatar showing?
Re: Brown Eye – fuck no , fix your fuckin' software mario,this shit has been broke for a week
OMG SOOOOOO SEXYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
I WOULD SO FUCKING DOOO HIM HE IS SOOOO HOTTT
sherlock drinking starbucks coffee
Have to love Robert Downey Jr. for all the fall downs to a point that he's lucky he didn't od… to the time, hard time in a shite hole prison [sorry for potty mouth word] that he's kept his attack together and we haven't lost his remarkable talent. Starbucks in his hand is a good thing… 20 times a day, doesn't matter. He's clean, has a woman he loves and vice/versa and a young son who needs him in his life. I've nothing put admiration for this guy……his demons were enormous…….after years of struggle it proves success can happen and be maintained. m in ct.
WHAT??
perezzers, you need to update, i opened up the page to get a fix before work, and it's the same stuff from yesterday :/ just kidding, i know you have a life too. you're awesome

REASONING ABILITIES OF MCSTAIN'S
(FEW) SUPPORTERS COLLAPSE AS IT IS THAT OF THE OLD FART'S!

OH WELL YOU'LL GET OVER IT WHEN HE LOSES IN NOVEMBER!
.
AND SARWHORE IS SO DUMB SHE NEEDS CLIFF NOTES TO GET

wow that's an original idea….
wtf
BLAH BLAH BLAH!! Post something interesting like Britney's new video!!
Unless there is a RDJ shirtless scene I think I'll wait until it comes out on video.
I seen Iron man a week ago …and Robert Downey has come a long way…no dobt he will rock this film too
Hot RDJ drinks the good coffee. Remember to tip your barista.
Guy Ritchie is narrow minded homophobe!Fuck him,hope the movie flops like everything else he's done
Even though Robert Downey Jr. has had some bad drug problems he is still a kick ass actor!
Product placement has really gone to far. I have read every single Sherlock Holmes story/novel, and never saw Starbucks in it. Maybe he will use an Apple computer too.
P.S. He looks awesome, I'm looking forward to this movie.
Coooo-eeee. I don't care what that man wears - he's always HOT!!!!!!!
robertdjr in full on costume and starbucks, whoa
totally having a mancrush moment here, one of those
true fucking actors left, insane and all, but always
a hard worker, always leaving something to be proud of
and something for people to enjoy. genius.
ohh… sherlock holmes, that explains it.. i thought he finally lost it for a second
There's plenty of great British actors to play an British character but they had to get this guy? Ever watch Rodney Dangerfield's "Back to School"? You have to check him out in that movie!
how do u spell bomb. as in movie failure…
looks so bad.
word is M is bankrollin all the loser ritchie's movies these days..
that smokers look: downey looks burnt old.
what a pile of shit thats gona be
mmmmm tasty
