“He was a brother, my right-hand man, an uncle to our kids and beloved by all who experienced his singular character and wit,” Downey penned down in the heartfelt tribute, adding that Jimmy Rich had supported him through every step of his recovery, life and career.
Downey had referred to his troubled phase where he was arrested multiple times between 1996 and 2001 on drug charges. AT that point, with help from his wife Susan Levi and Jimmy Rich, Downey went on to stage one of the most remarkable comeback stories in Hollywood history, becoming one of the most highly paid and bankable actors in the industry.
Downey’s Marvel costars and other friends from Hollywood also remembered Jimmy Rich in fond words. Chris Evans wrote that he was sending love to all Jimmy’s friends and families. “Be sure to hug your loved ones tightly and please take the time today to show Downey how many people love him and are here for him during this incredibly dark time,” he said.
Josh Brolin, who played Thanos in the Avengers movies, wrote: 'Jimmy Rich (@jimmy_rich), my buddy, my brother, my fellow sober warrior, you have and will always swim in that place of mine, that purest place of love inside me. I am forever grateful for the gift of your heart upon mine”.
Chris Pratt replied to Robert Downey Jr’s post that he was praying for the affected family.
