It’s a weird but wonderful world as the rebooted animal lover bangs on in a bizarre Welsh accent to his marauding menagerie
Robert Downey Jr’s life comes in easily identifiable chunks. First, he had it all – the most talented actor of his generation. Then he lost it all spectacularly in a blaze of drugs and jail sentences. Then he regained everything a hundred times over, becoming the world’s richest and most beloved star in a string of films that made heavy use of his personality. And now comes the next stage, in which he does a bizarre Welsh accent at a polar bear in a hat. That’s right, the trailer for Dolittle is out.
In Dolittle, Robert Downey Jr plays Doctor Dolittle, a man who can converse with animals. It’s based on Hugh Lofting’s book The Voyages of Doctor Dolittle, and not The Story of Doctor Dolittle.
