10 times we KNEW Robert Downey Jr. could be our boyfriend IRL

by

Original Brat Pack member, Robert Downey Jr., turned the grand old age of 51 today, and we're gonna be honest here, we're having a little trouble dealing with the reality of the situation.

51 is a DAD'S age for crying out loud, so is it OK we totally – and we mean TOTALLY – still fancy him? We certainly think so, anyway.

In fact, not only do we fancy Mr. Downey, but we sometimes picture those oh-so-special milestones we would reach together if he were our boyfriend.

Here's a brief peek!

1. The moment he sees us in anything other than HIS hoodie and OUR old GAA shorts.

"Oh like what ya see, do ya?"

2. The moment we FINALLY hit our quota on contour chat.

"But then this OTHER girl said COCOA powder!"

3. The moment he first slags us for our daily beauty regime.

"Shut up! It wasn't like that."

4. The moment he turns the charm on with our Nana for the first time.

"Marry me."

5. The moment he finally runs out of restaurant choices.

"I SAID i don't care…no, not there."

6. The moment we suggest he comes glamping with the girls this summer.

"You're just afraid you'll actually like it."

7. The moment he entertains our ridiculous questions for the first time.

"Would you rather be a balloon or a firework?"

8. The moment he tries to tell us we've been rocking panda-eyes since lunch-time.

"You've really got my back don't you, babe?"

9. The moment he shows up at our door after our first argument.

"You SHOULD be sorry!"

10. The moment his mate tells him we'd step over our own mothers for a birthday smooch.

No seriously, we would.
