i'm not so sure that downeys extracurricular activities affected his star power


it affected who was hiring him but oddly
it inversely affected his popularity

in which case it makes downey always a bigger star than jude

jude btw didn't start out big
he's mainly been coasting on his looks
not on his acting skills

he and ewan remind me of
affleck and damon
they start out on the same level career wise
but
the better looking male obtains popularity and opportunities
initially
but since they less acting skill
and the movies they are in are mediocre and their star power peters out relatively quickly and then if they personal life gets 'uninteresting' they become even less popular and then they get older and less attractive

the difference though is jude really does have some acting chops
(compared to affleck) but is still has a bit to go in comparison to Downey
