This video actually saved RDJ's career as Elton was the only person who would cast him in anything after RDJ went into rehab and Elton knew how that felt...Damn
Only Elton John; a guy who had family issues and drug abuse before could understand what Robert Downey Jr. was having at that time. Perfect choice for this cast.
It never changes for me. The years go by and I still see RDJ at this moment, begging for help and understanding. No matter how far he comes, I never forget these moments of televised vulnerability.
Robert Downey Jr.'s path from burnt out junkie to Iron Man and the center piece of the highest-grossing movie franchise required him saying Goodbye to Yellow Brick Road. God Bless Elton John for not giving up on RDJ (and Eminem for that matter) and God bless Robert for fighting his demons. This is the moment he became Tony Stark. Now somebody get me a cheeseburger!
