Tumblr Pinuprdj has a simple premise: “Vintage pinups are the pinnacle of art. Robert Downey Jr. is the pinnacle of sexy. It’s not rocket science.” We spotted the saucy, strange vintage images featuring the Iron Man actor’s stubbled mug on website Inspiredocean and haven’t been able to tear our eyes away from them since.
It’s not the first time RDJ has flirted with frilly dresses — and loved every moment of it. The star appeared in Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows in drag. He told MTV, “Pretty much the entire opening of the film I’m wearing a Chinese dress Gui, which I enjoyed very much.” And who can forget John Hughes’ 1985 comedy Weird Science featuring a young RDJ as a high school jerkface wearing a bra on his head. Get your Robert Downey Jr. pinup fix past the break.
