Red sparse curls with bald patches aged Downey and made him unrecognizable, and the same color eyebrows deprived his face of its usual masculinity.

Robert Downey Jr. is filming The Sympathizer for HBO. In the image of the hero of this tape, he was seen in Los Angeles, where the shooting is taking place.

The upcoming film is presented as “a spy thriller with cross-cultural satire”.

The screenplay is based on a book by Pulitzer Prize winner Viet Tan Nguyen. The time of action is the last days of the Vietnam War, the main character is a political prisoner who was once an agent of the communists.
