The rather embarrassed son of Robert Downey Jr accompanied his father to dinner at Nobu in Malibu over the weekend. The Iron Man star felt like celebrating for a few reasons — the film's terrific opening and the Lakers victory. However, Downey's son seemed distracted. According to sources at the pricey eatery, when questioned about his attitude, the son said while he's appreciative that they can afford nice things and go to nice restaurants, but why does his dad have to make him wear a Cosby sweater in public? Downey paused for a moment and told his son that he doesn't have to wear anything that he doesn't want; it's just that the family stylist thought it'd look great.

Shoes match the shirt and the shit-eating grin.

Good for him. With IM under his belt, he can wear whatever

he wants and Hollywood can kiss his ass.

It's always weird looking at someone I seriously want to hump standing next to his offspring.

RDJ is rocking the look with a pair of shoes that on anyone else (myself included) would look like they just graduated from Clown College.
