Disney Legends honour prompts Robert Downey Jr. pot story

ANAHEIM, Calif. — Robert Downey Jr. is recalling a wild Disneyland ride from his younger days.

The “Iron Man” star, among those honoured Friday as Disney Legends, says his first visit to the Southern California resort included a brief detention for “smoking pot in a gondola.”

Downey said he received a stern warning and was then returned to a disappointed group chaperone.

Disney CEO Robert Iger presented the Legends trophy to the actor at the D23 Expo Disney fan event, and Downey called it a special day.
