Keeping it casual: Robert Downey Jr. stepped out in a funky grey T-shirt featuring Bruce Lee on the front in Malibu, Los Angeles on Thursday
The 49-year-old actor kept it extremely casual on his day out in Malibu, Los Angeles, teaming the shirt with a pair of grey sweatpants, along with a blue sweatshirt tied round his waist, and grey sneakers.
The Ironman star looked quite stoic as he headed to his destination, carrying a cup of coffee and a little black briefcase, while shielding his eyes with round brown sunglasses.
The father-of-two accessorized with a necklace tucked into his shirt, a beaded bracelet, and a watch.

An action hero best known for his role as Tony Stark in the Ironman franchise, Robert trains using the Wing Chun technique Bruce Lee popularized, according to Men’s Fitness.
He is likely utilising such a technique to stay in shape these days, as he is in the midst of filming The Avengers: Age of Ultron, slated for release in 2015.
Robert can next be seen as a fired chef who reinvents himself as a food truck owner in the comedy Chef, out May 9, starring alongside Sofia Vergara and Scarlett Johansson.

Whilst he may admire Bruce Lee, Robert credits much of his success to wife Susan Levin.
'The old saying is true — behind every good man there's an incredible woman,' he has previously said. 'I owe a huge amount — if not all — of my success to Susan. We make a great team, and all that luck I spoke about, that's Susan.'
The 40-year-old film producer helped him kick his drug addiction.

'She told me, "I'm not doing that [drug] dance with you. I'm drawing a line in the sand here." She was absolutely clear about it,' Robert told Parade Magazine in 2008.
'That doesn't mean that other women, business associates, movie directors, insurance companies, judges and law enforcement hadn't been clear about it too.
'It was that, before I met Mrs. Downey, I just didn't give a goddamn. What changed is that I cared.'
Together they have a two–year-old son, Exton, while Robert also has a 20-year-old son, Indio, from a previous marriage.
