Actor Robert Downey Jr has in the past been applauded for his edgy roles.

But his latest may be a step too far - as the actor dons make-up to play a rather convincing looking black man in a new Hollywood film starring comic actor Ben Stiller.

In a still from film Tropic Thunder, Downey Jnr is sandwiched between Ben Stiller, and a blonde Jack Black.

With his afro hair and brown skin, he is virtually unrecognisable as the 42-year-old star of stage and screen.

Downey Jr plays a worthy Oscar-winning actor taking on a role originally written for a black actor, and rather than re-write the part, he goes method.

Clearing anticipating a backlash, Downey Jr told a US magazine: "If it's done right, it could be the type of role you called Peter Sellers to do 35 years ago. If you don't do it right, we're going to hell."

YOU MOVE, YOU LOSE.

Haha, I remember watching that. I had no idea what Tropic Thunder was, and stupid me, I didn't even know it was a real movie! but now I really want to see it. When I went to watch Stepbrothers and I saw the full preview, I was like OMG, I really want to see that. lol.

Well clearly a black guy couldn't play the role...the movie is ABOUT a white guy who plays a black guy. In that case, there's no reason to be uppity about it.

Yea, that's what I was gunna say, the whole point is that a white man is playing a black man.
