Robert Downey Jr. Blames Less Than Zero

Robert Downey Jr. is now claiming that his role in Less Than Zero made his drug addition worse.

"Until that movie I took my drugs after work and on the weekends. That changed on Less Than Zero. The role was like the ghost of Christmas Future. I became an exaggeration of the character."

That seems to be a big cop-out, but maybe his personality is such that he has trouble distinguishing real life from acting. If thats the case, lets hope he doesn't start carrying around an assault rifle pretending to be black.
