I could look at this face for hours. What a fine looking man. And such an inspiration for me. I used to cry for him throughout his active addiction. I feared he wouldn't make it back. Thank God he did. The World would not be the same without him. I am 28 days clean today and I look to people like him for strength and hope. Much love RDJ! Oh. . .and keep singing PLEASE!!!! We need you!

I didn't realize he sang too. There are so many layers to him.. He seems like one of the rare people that actually lives their life instead of just existing. Ill always be a fan.

OMG! I love how he's not afraid to be openly "in love" with his own wife. He is such a beautiful soul and has the most handsome eyes for a man too. ♡

2020... I always look forward to my Ironman Christmas tune

I'm so happy he has apparently found peace in his life without the self-abuse of drugs and alcohol. Not everyone finds their way out ESPECIALLY when you lose yourself so early in life. He is an amazingly talented and beautiful human being and I hope he will always find himself in peace. Those eyes, that voice...I LOVE RD,Jr. Thanks DP for your post.

he has endured. and showed us no matter how many times you fall its possible to get back up .

I love him...he survived...he's still here...good for him!

This is my favorite version of this song too, I love his voice.

Been listening to this every Christmas since 2009. RJD is immortal.

He really has a great voice. you can feel the pain. ....beautiful. I love Robert Downey Jr.

He is a pretty darn good piano player too by the way. Love this, such a talented guy!

My favorite version is Joni, but this fellow blows me away.

He sings, he act, he can invent indistuctable armour in caves what cant this man do

I love the Documentary you did about your dad , titled, Sr. I am a huge Joni freak, since the age of 12 , (1974) and your cover of River is so soulful and sublime. I play it every Christmas season!

It's 2021 and I still enjoy this arrangement. Thank you, RDJ!

Joni Mitchell wrote hundreds of wonderful songs. This is just one of them. Nice cover.

You can hear the pain in his voice. Have always and will always love RDJ. He inspires so many, giving them hope that they can do more, better. My mom, a past drug addict, went through (kinda) what he did. I will ALWAYS respect this man. Gosh, his voice makes me wanna cry...

I admire his strength and spirit. A beautiful man. Love him!!!!

He can sing, dance, & act, a triple threat, & he's great at ALL of them! Just brilliant. Joni may have a better voice in some ways, but he makes this song absolutely heartbreaking, which if you listen to the lyrics, it is. Much love since the '80's for RD, Jr.!

I CAN'T STOP LISTENING TO THIS.

So talented….Love him thru the ages ❤️🥰❤️

Beautiful song. Beautiful man.

One of my very favorite Joni Mitchell songs, done so beautifully by Robert Downey Jr. Amazing! I'm sure Joni would love this!

I locked myself in the bathroom and played this on repeat first Christmas at the inlaws. First Christmas away from home was miserable.

Such a talented man, and I just love his voice.

This song speaks to me over and over again. I feel like he is inside my troubled mind. Its amazing how music can bring out our deepest felt human emotions. As I am crying I say thank you to Robert and Joni.

Love Love Love !!!

He is perfection. Plain and simple

A beautiful man with immense talents.

First time I've heard him sing! Love to hear covers from other artists. He did an incredible job!

I saw 'Less Than Zero' in the movie theater when I was in 7th grade. That movie impacted me. It definitely kept me from falling into that scene. I always had a line I would never cross because of that movie. Thank you, Robert, for playing that role. You were always one of my favorites with an incredible wit.

WOW WOW WOW. I've heard him sing with sting and I was amazed but I still am wowed every time I hear him.

How beautiful I never new he sang! He is so gifted. I love all of his movies.

I had no idea that RD jr. could sign! Love his voice love this song! I am so thankful the made it through his tough times. He is the best all around!

Incredible. I know Joni is very proud of this. God bless you, RDJ....You are inspirational!

Love this man as an actor and as a person. I will say it a thousands time over and over and over and over again till the end of time!

I just saw Chaplin for the first time. I am so completely in awe of RDJ's talent. This version of River is beautiful!!

Just found this. Loved it. Thank you for sharing your self in this and all of the roles you have had. Peace and Blessings RDJ🙏🏾🕊️

guard your freedom RDJ, you are a hero in so many ways.

First time I ever heard this song, was on Ally McBeal Have loved it ever since. As well, enjoy the Joni Mitchell and Sarah McLaghlan versions tremendously

Wow. I am blown away. What a brilliant performance. This man can sing. He took Mitchell's epochal song and made it his own. The arrangement is stunning as well. I would probably have never heard this in my life if you had not posted it, Catarina. I am eternally grateful and now I am tears.

A wonderful song A wonderful voice A wonderful man😍😍😍😍😍

I have loved him forever, it seems, I hope to see him for a long, long time. Not a crush, I just adore this very genuine spirit-hope he hangs around-

Robert Downey Jr. is the best actor of all time

This is probably the best interpretation ... something that Joni herself would approve of.

I thought this video was more like a tribute to his career. Had no idea his talent ventured into that of a musician . . . KUDOS BRODDA

A uniquely multitalented artistically expressive magically mesmerizing human.

Is there anything this man cannot do? This is plain awesome!

My favorite version of this song. I am so glad that he got to record it. I am also glad he got rid of his inner demons and is now having a good life. Seasons Greetings from Canada. 🎅🎄🇨🇦

the best version of this song! i loved the scene in ally mcbeal! He was just phenomenal in this show!

Robert Downey Jr. is singing this? I was just thinking that he is about the same age of River Phoenix. What if River had not died? I am glad Robert is alive.

I'm proud of him that he overcame his demons and became a better person and the way i see him with his son...he's the best dad ever. his other tributes with his son on youtube is touching

Wow, beautiful!!

This is one of my favorite songs.

All the feels Thank you Robert DJ

Besides being so hot looking, and a great actor Robert can really sing...Love this, thank you...

He's AMAZING.

I heard this song when I was in my early years, it was one that later in my years, I could totally relate too. which, may of us have experienced the same feeling of disappointments, and regrets like Robert expressed so well. He's always been one of my favorite actors, back in the 80's and glad he made it out of those dark days.

I met Robert in California in 1999. It was hard too see someone so talented so messed up. This is my favorite Christmas song. He is one of the best actors of our time from less than zero to the soloist.

He can sing too!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! I wanna meet him so baaaaaaaad D:

I recently did a cover of this and one of my viewers mentioned this as his favorite version. I'm so glad to have learned about it because it's really beautiful ❤

Probably the greatest actor around right now :P

Thanks so much for this. He is absolutely, completely, unashamedly the reason that I am alive... this song (and those eyes) never fail to bring me to tears. Bless you xxx

Love hearing him and he's wonderful to look at, too-a man of many talents!

It's about escaping pain and loneliness .

Just beautiful. Thank you Robert!

Such a beautiful song! Love it...

Love Joni and this rocks my soul!

Love his voice!❤️

His album "The futurist" is great to. I have had it in my collection since it came out in 2004. 9 years later its still great and among my favorits. The album has 10 songs, RDJ wrote 8 of them.

My favorite comeback story ever! He's brilliant! Great video!!!

Fab! A great example of how someone can grow into his looks so nicely! And a fab voice too!

I will love him forever..There's no one like him ♡♥♡♥♡

One more reason for me to love MY IRONMAN⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘

Love it.....love it

It's always much more heartfelt when the person singing knows what he's singing about. On a completely different note, that pic with Keanu and Robert = manwich. 😍

He IS the man!

Wow, my favorite version, so good! God Bless!

Incredible beautiful man......still now....I wish I had the chance to meet him 🤩

This song always tears me up - and the only voice I ever wanted to hear singing it was Joni's. That is until I heard RDJ many years ago on Ally McBeal (my least favorite show.) I just happened upon this rendition a few moments ago and was shocked at how much I loved It RDJ has always been an incredible talent, despite all his gut wrenching problems. He seems to have found himself now, and I for one say - HURRAY! THAX FOR POSTING THIS MOVING VIDEO.

Such an awesome actor and an amazing singer - all round talent

OMG!! Do his talents never end? LOVE IT!!!

A man of so many talents - amazing!

love this version - so tranquil

Such a beautiful song, sung by a incredible vocalist. :)

Go Robert. This was beautiful ❤️

wow... props... been wondering how it would be for a guy to sing this...and DID NOT know this dude could sing but hell to the yeah he can... thanks for sharing

My favorite version of this song. I love the melancholia of it, and his voice..........wow.

Just beautiful!

So beautiful. I love this.
