Robert Downey Jr. will never let anyone recreate him in AI, and says he'll automatically sue anyone who tries, even after he's dead: "My law firm will still be very active"

Robert Downey Jr. in The Avengers.

Robert Downey Jr. says he doesn't want Hollywood to replicate his likeness ever and intends to sue anyone who tries to create an AI version of himself, even after he is dead. 

"There's two tracks. How do I feel about everything that's going on? I feel about it minimally because I have an actual emotional life that's occurring that doesn't have a lot of room for that," said Downey on an episode of the On With Kara Swisher podcast when asked about being digitally recreated. "I don't envy anyone who has been over-identified with the advent of this new phase of the information age."
