I have a few questions.

Did anyone else notice that his eyes appeared glazed and a little wild eyed at 1.04 when he starts saying /You're jumping a little bit,you'd better get to your next question/?

I don't want to start any rumors but he didn't appear normal if you know what I'm saying.

My other question is do you think that some actors and actresses are getting to big for their boots? If rdj was a struggling actor trying to get recognition in his fledgling career do you still think he would have walked out?

I was also reading about Richard Pryor (RIP) who I love and miss and was surprised to hear "Pryor developed a reputation for being demanding and disrespectful on film sets, and for making selfish and difficult demands. In his autobiography Kiss Me Like a Stranger, co-star Gene Wilder says that Pryor was frequently late to the set during filming of Stir Crazy, and that he demanded, among other things, a helicopter to fly him to and from set because he was the star. Pryor was also accused of using allegations of on-set racism to force the hand of film producers into giving him more money. Also from Wilder's book:[37]

“ One day during our lunch hour in the last week of filming, the craft service man handed out slices of watermelon to each of us. Richard, the whole camera crew, and I sat together in a big sound studio eating a number of watermelon slices, talking and joking. As a gag, some members of the crew used a piece of watermelon as a Frisbee, and tossed it back and forth to each other. One piece of watermelon landed at Richard's feet. He got up and went home. Filming stopped. The next day, Richard announced that he knew very well what the significance of watermelon was. He said that he was quitting show business and would not return to this film. The day after that, Richard walked in, all smiles. I wasn't privy to all the negotiations that went on between Columbia and Richard's lawyers but the camera operator who had thrown that errant piece of watermelon had been fired that day. I assume now that Richard was using drugs during "Stir Crazy""

^From Wiki. Does this remind you of rdj'rs behaviour?

Some celebrities get an inflated sense of importance, others don't.

Just the same in any walk of life.
To me, RDJ appeared to be getting angry about the nature of the questions being asked.

Not sure how his behaviour compares with the (alleged) behaviour of RP.

scorpiojo a good friend of mine mentioned the words substance abuse.
It seems to be "par for the course" substance abuse in the entertainment industry.
