And for all you budding fashionistas, Paltrow, Johansson and Jackson were all kitted out in Giorgio Armani.

The flick hits UK movie theaters on April 30 and US movie theaters on May 7.

Downey — who plays billionaire inventor Tony Stark in the movie — recently revealed that he has an Iron Man head at his house.

“I have an Iron Man head at home and various other bits downstairs but my home isn’t a shrine to Iron Man,” he said last week. “But I think it’s cool.”

The 45-year-old star can’t wait for fans to see the movie and admits he is immensely proud to play the much-loved Marvel comic book character.

“It’s mind-blowing to me because I’d always felt like I wanted to — and could — do something like this,” he said. “I have probably taken Iron Man 2 more seriously than any other movie I’ve ever done, which is appropriately ridiculous for Hollywood.”

The Hollywood hunk has previously revealed he asked film bosses to let him take one of the superhero’s full suits home.

“The producers keep telling me that they’re going to give me a suit with all the bells and whistles but I still don’t have it,” he said. “I don’t know, maybe I should get it in my contract. It would be great to have one at home — a talking point.”

  • . James C. Ronning

    Sir James C Ronning appeared on the Late Show and debated with Letterman about whether or not celebrities should be considered role models. He had the audience in an uproar when he said that the main thing that causes men to cheat on their wives or have a dozen lovers was simply opportunity. If a man has money and fame looks don’t really matter. But the audience and Letterman seemed to not agree that many men do it, but only boobs get caught. Now he gave Letterman an out when he said that many of the women were simply setting the celebrity up for money. And that Dave did the right thing when he went to the police and filed charges. Letterman asked if Ronning having been knighted by the King of Norway and could use Sir for a title would have an advantage over just a doctor. The quick witted Ronning who was recently named “the smartest man in the world) said he has found that Sir Dr. James is probably much better. As for as the Leno vs Letterman recent war of words Ronning said that O’Brian never said one joke poking fun at Letterman during his monologue and that was one reason that Letterman was going after Leno who seemed to have a good time with David’s delimma over cheating on his wife. And it was obvious by The King of Late Night that he didn’t disagree.So we are left wondering just how strongly Letterman feels now toward Leno. They have had an up and down relationship through out their careers.
