“He [Downey] knows that I’ll go home and write something offensive about him and that he’ll want to punch me. And I know that I have to live with his face in my mind for a month or two, or more like the rest of my life, and so of course I’ll want to punch him.

So I try… The problem with trying to punch someone in the face who’s been studying kung fu for five years—someone who has a lot of free time and energy, and has a lot of frustration built up, someone who for a long time lived in a vulnerable way and destroyed himself and was powerless to control the world and was sent away to sad, scary prisons to get beat up by his jailmates, someone who—when he finally got out—couldn’t keep himself out of court or rehab or jail again, who lost his first marriage, lost custody of his kid for a time, lost the right to vote, lost his career… The problem here is when he got healthy, what did he want? He wanted control, and of course he wanted to find a way to protect himself.

So when I try to punch him, he does what he’s learned to do. I don’t actually even remember getting punched in the face. It’s Downey who notices. “Hey, you’re bleeding,” he says. He asks if I want ice. “It’s not a workout until somebody’s bleeding,” Oram says, smiling.

And then Downey looks at my wound again. “Feels good,” he says. “Doesn’t it?”

The man who embraces his heroic nature pays a terrible price. He sees the darkness in the world, and in his own heart, and is forever changed.
