17.[BIO] - Robert Downey Jr ( IRON MAN )

    

 In this motivational success story, you will understand that everything is possible. You will appreciate how Robert Downey Jr. rose from the bottom and became a superhero. “Remember that just because you hit bottom doesn’t mean you have to stay there” ~ Robert Downey Jr. His journey to this enormous success was surely not an easy one. He went through a lot of failures, rejections and setbacks. But his persistent hard work and dedication paved way to his fame. His story is an inspiration to several people.

Robert Downey’s early struggles :

Robert Downey Jr. started his journey as an actor at the age of 5. During his early days, he had minor roles in his father’s movies. Life was not as easy for Robert as his father impacted him in a disastrous way. He grows up with drugs, and the sole reason for this was his father, who was himself a drug-addict. His father introduced drugs to him at a very tender age and also let him use it. Life changed into a nightmare for Robert.

In 1997 he was loved by his audience, for the role of a drug addict which he he later never did in any of his movies. Because of his realistic performance in this role, he received many positive reviews and role offers from top directors. For him, it was a key to Hollywood doors. The doors were wide open for him for the next four years. This was a major breakthrough in his life. He decided to put in his best efforts and successfully proved himself to the world.

From 1996 to 2001, Robert was arrested many times on charges related to drugs. He went through many drug treatments program, but nothing worked. In 1996, Robert got arrested for possession of drugs, and an unloaded handgun. In 1997, sentenced to 6 months in prison after violating his parole by missing drug tests. During this time in the jail, he was attacked by many fellow inmates. The next day, he woke up in a pool of his own blood after being beaten up blue and black. In 1997 because he missed another drug test, he was arrested again. He spent one more year in prison. In prison, he worked in the kitchen and washed dishes for 8 cents an hour.

After Robert got released from prison, he still couldn’t come over drug addiction. He ended up getting fired from a series in 2001 because of drugs. Similarly at that moment, he almost went bankrupt. The several hurdles made him very weak but things did change when he met his wife Susan Levin.

Robert Downey’s breakthrough :

In 2003, he had his major turning point, in the form of his wife, Susan Levin. She insisted that she would only marry him if he left drugs. So after so many struggles with arrests, he found a new life. Now he was ready to work hard to make a full recovery. In a filmy way, he threw all his drugs in the pacific ocean. Following this, he entered a program in which he performed Yoga, Martial arts and Meditation. And the biggest battle of his life began. Life seemed hard but he was all set to work harder. He has a new leash towards life and was very much persistent to make a difference.

He worked for almost five years to reach what he has now achieved. After five years os struggle, he got an opportunity to play the role of Iron Man in the movie and made a grand entry in Marvel. There surely is no doubt that Robert Downey Jr. went through a tough time in his life, but he didn’t let anything stop him, and that’s made him a successful man.
Now he is one of the most talented, popular actors of all time, one of the highest-paid actors in Hollywood, his net worth is $300M.

Life lessons from Robert Downey’s life :

Robert Downey is an example of persistence and hard work. He proved that you don’t have to do everything alone, it’s okay to ask for help. But having self confidence in life is very much important to achieve even the smallest of things. We learn it’s never too late to change yourself. You are the master of your own destiny, the creator of your life and future. If you want your destiny to look like you’ve always dreamed of, do something about it now. Failures and hurdles are a part of life. Try your best to get past these with utmost dedication and your sure to reach your goals in no time. Therefore never give up, keep moving forward to chase your dreams.

https://www.britannica.com/biography/Niki-Lauda

#1 Niki Lauda (Motorsports)

Lauda was born into a wealthy paper-manufacturing family that disapproved of his interest in racing. Undaunted, he began racing Minis in 1968, moving on to Formula Vee and Formula Three thereafter. In 1971 he secured a loan against his life insurance policy to buy his way into the March Engineering Formula Two team. While still primarily a Formula Two driver, Lauda participated in his first F1 race during his initial season with March, and in 1972 he raced in 12 F1 events.

Lauda raced in the 1973 F1 season as a member of the British Racing Motors team. In 1974 he signed with the prestigious Scuderia Ferrari team and garnered his first career F1 victory (as well as an additional win), finishing the season in fourth place. He broke out in 1975, winning five races to capture his first world championship.

The 1976 racing season is one of the most storied in F1 history. Through nine races, Lauda had five victories and more than twice as many points in the championship standings as his closest competitor. Lauda tried to get the other drivers to agree to a boycott of the 10th race of the season, the German Grand Prix at the Nürburgring, because of safety concerns about racing through the Eifel Mountains, but he was outvoted. In the race’s second lap, Lauda lost control of his car and slammed into an embankment. The car burst into flames, and Lauda was pulled from the wreckage, having inhaled noxious gasses. He sustained burns that cost him his eyelids, half of an ear, and large portions of his scalp. He later lapsed into a coma and was administered last rites by a priest, but he recovered and returned to racing after missing just two events. Britain’s James Hunt had won the German Grand Prix, as well as one more contest in Lauda’s absence, and he and Lauda entered into an electrifying chase for the 1976 title. Hunt was three points behind Lauda heading into the final event, the Japanese Grand Prix. Heavy rains on the day of the race led Lauda to withdraw because of safety concerns, and Hunt finished in third place to capture the championship by one point.

1 ) [BIO] - Randeep Hooda,

 

Initially, no one took me seriously: Randeep Hooda

Before enjoying success with Highway, Randeep Hooda had decided to give it all up. Not once, but twice as nobody wanted to work with him.

Randeep-Hooda

Updated on Mar 23, 2014 12:08 PM IST

Hindustan Times | ByAmrah Ashraf

The day we met him, had woken up with what he admitted was "a nasty hangover" from partying too hard the previous night. But he didn't seem to mind.



He said he deserved it.



For an actor who was on the verge of giving up on Bollywood because "no one wanted to work with me", the success of his recent film is bittersweet.



"Suddenly everyone wants to party with me. People who had not taken my calls in years are calling me back. Suddenly I am not sliding past people, unrecognised," Hooda says, as he takes a long drag of a cigarette and lets the smoke linger in his mouth. "I don't know if they genuinely like me or just want to ride the with me."

Act One

Hooda has every reason to play the jilted man enjoying a reversal of fortune. He had a debut most newcomers only dream of: Mira Nair's Monsoon Wedding (2001). "After that, I assumed that I had to only stand in front of the camera and people would flock to the theatres to watch me," he says. That didn't happen. Instead, Hooda spent the next four years jobless. "And I was too full of myself to approach people for work." Of course, no opportunities came knocking.



Slowly, his funds started drying up and his frustration grew. Hooda finally started approaching people. "But no director was willing to invest in me," he admits. In his desperation, he then did what most Bollywood actors call suicide - theatre.



Hooda started acting in plays by Naseeruddin Shah's Motley troupe. "But initially, no one took me seriously because of my looks," he says. "Naseer bhai believed in me. Without Motley, I would've been a less assured actor. No actually, I would've been a bum."



Theatre brought out the actor in him. "No one treats you like a star there. You either perform or get laughed at," he says. His hard work paid off, earning him applause for roles in Waiting for Godot and Arms and the Man. And with that, he grew in confidence, far better prepared for Bollywood.

Act Two
The other thing Hooda realised was that to succeed in Bollywood without a filmi background, he needed to knock on doors himself. "You don't get into the big league without appeasing that league first," he says casually. Most knocks went answered, but door opened.

"Ram Gopal Varma offered me D [2005]," he says. The movie tanked but Hooda got great reviews. "Suddenly people saw an actor in me."

But after D, Hooda had seven flops in a row. "He was a bit too experimental," says Bollywood trade analyst Komal Nahta. Hooda agrees. "I played an honest cop in Risk (2007), Rang Rasiya (2008) was about the life of painter Ravi Varma. Nothing commercial." He was spiralling downwards again. This time it was different. "This time I had no epiphanies. I was lost," he says.

A Curtain Call
Then one afternoon in 2009, he met director Milan Luthria, who offered him Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai. "I tried to back out thrice because I was surprised that someone was offering me a film," Hooda says. But Luthria stuck it out. "He had that unique quality that I was looking for," the director says. The gamble worked for both men. Critics started to take notice.

Of all the films Hooda did next - hits, misses, plum roles, ensemble casts - one thing became clear: Randeep Hooda can act. "People liked me in Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster [2011] because I got under the skin of the character," he explains, with honesty uncharacteristic of a film actor. "I was bad in Murder 3 [2013] because I was working in double shifts and had no time to analyse the character."

Even for Highway, his solo hit in many years, he prepared by living with young Gujjar boys to understand their body language. "I didn't find Mahabir Bhati (his character in Highway) there but I found what he could be like." He grew a beard and exposed his face in the sun till it started to look cracked and weather-beaten.

For today, life seems good. Hooda has a solo hit under his belt; people are seeing him as an actor, not just a piece of meat (though he's still an undeniable sex symbol). Sure there's the hangover, but it's not something to worry about. Up and downs are just part of life.

COMEBACK KINGS

You don't always make it in the first go. Here are others who've found fame only after a few stumbles and risen higher and higher afterwards.

Amitabh Bachchan
His first seven films tanked. No one had any hope from the too-tall man whose voice was not fit for films. Look at how wrong they were!

Saif Ali Khan
Remember Khan from the '90s? You probably don't because no one really does. But Dil Chahta Hai changed his fate.

Nawazuddin Siddiqui
He struggled for 12 years doing small roles before he made it big with Gangs of Wasseypur (2012).
