8. Indio Downey
Here’s another like father like son case. Iron Man actor Robert Downey Jr. had a decades-long struggle with drug abuse, publicly getting wasted, getting busted, going to rehab and relapsing over and over again. He told one judge, “It’s like I’ve got a shotgun in my mouth with my finger on the trigger, and I like the taste of the gun metal.” After several stints in jail and various treatment facilities, he seems to have pulled himself together and has gone on to a successful comeback career. However, his 20-year-old musician son, Indio, was recently charged with felony drug possession. When bailing out his son, RDJ said, “Unfortunately there’s a genetic component to addiction and Indio has likely inherited it.”
