Downey stated that drug use became an emotional bond between him and his father: "When my dad and I would do drugs together, it was like him trying to express his love for me in the only way he knew how. "Eventually, Downey began spending every night abusing alcohol and "making a thousand phone calls in pursuit of drugs".During his childhood Downey had minor roles in his father's films. He made his acting debut at the age of five, playing a sick puppy in the absurdist comedy Pound (1970), and then at age seven appeared in the surrealist Greaser's Palace (1972).At the age of ten, he was living in England and studied classical ballet as part of a larger curriculum.He attended the Stagedoor Manor Performing Arts Training Center in upstate New York as a teenager.
