Robert Downey Pictures: Robert Downey Jr. Injured on 'Sherlock Holmes'
"The Insider" confirms that Robert Downey Jr. suffered an injury while filming 'Sherlock Holmes' on location in Britain.

A rep tells "The Insider" that Downey Jr. is doing fine and "all is well" after the incident in which the actor suffered a "minor injury."

Guy Ritchie is directing the highly anticipated blockbuster, scheduled for release in November 2009, in which Downey Jr. plays the famed detective, with Rachel McAdams as his love interest.

Downey Jr. told ET earlier this year that the movie will present Holmes as more adventurous and less formal than previous screen incarnations. He also revealed he would have intense fight scenes in the film and noted that he has been training in martial arts for the past five years.

    • some gas tank or something blew up on set... then his lower lip (particularly the left side) got sliced open. he's ok... only had, like, five stitches i think on his lip. still sexy.

      you can wound an average man and forever will he be ugly...
      you can get an average man addicted to drugs and he'll never recover...
      ...but Robert Downey Jr. is no average man.
      ...he's better. :D

  • He was probably trying to do his own stunts. That's what makes him so cool.

    I just saw that he has a music site. I didn't know he was a musician, too.
