Did RDJ date Marisa Tomei and get her the Marvel Spiderman job?


I heard RDJ used to date Marisa Tomei.
It was like seeing a very personal home video of them hooking up on the couch, LOL.
I think Uncle Tony Stark needs to put in some appearances in the spiderman movie!

Yes he did back in 1993/94 when they both starred in the movie Only You.

I also read that at the movie premier Marissa and Robert were not on speaking terms. She even refused to sit in the same row as him. All the while he was married to Deborah Falconer. SMH! He never said that he didn't cheat on her, he only said that when people are away from each other 'infidelity sets in' (his words when he explained why he and his wife, Susan never are apart for too long). Don't ask me which interviews these were because I have read so many and seen so many on youtube over the years that I couldn't point you in the right direction.

Just my input.

The worlds most gorgeous couple. Not that I don't wish him and his current wife the very best

I had no idea they actually dated. I loved them in that film.

To be honest, I never was keen on finding out the details, but from what I know, back then he humped nearly everything that wasn't on the trees within a count of 1-2-3. He said himself he "used to have lots of fun with film partners". He also dated Calista Flockhart and who knows who else, and he was married at all these times. Nowadays you don't even hear rumours, so I'd say he remains pretty faithful to Susan.

That's btw why I would give a clear "no" to the question. I can't imagine he'd do that to his wife, and actually I hope, there won't be anything Aunt May/Tony in Spiderman: Homecoming. No matter how cute "Only You" was at that time, it would feel awkward.

has a thing for the dude portraying the dude playin' the dude, disguised as another dude

I also read they had a thing going while filming the movie.In that time, even tough Robert was married to Deborah Falconer, he was a mess. He acted like a crazy child, used drugs, alcohol and he was quite irresponsable and inmature.Fatherhood did not help him at all, and being married either.His wife was more mature and down to earth.

In fact it was Deborah who left him in 1996 after a lot of scandals,cheating, drugs and problems, even he left his little boy alone at home, at night, to go out to buy drugs.
When he dated briefly Calista Flockhart was in 2000-2001 and he was separated, so he could do whatever he wanted, but I find pretty miserable that, with a little boy and a stunning wife, he had to act like an ass and be a womanizer in 90's and with Marisa Tomei and God knows who else..in fact I even read he also had experiences with men and there was an old interview where he admitted he had made out with a friend (a guy) one night they were on drugs.

Now, since he is out of drugs and married to Susan, it seems like he has changed a lot and now he acts like a real man.
Anyway, I dont trust him and I would not date him or have a serious relationship and much less kids...
The fact his wife Susan has to be often near of him and they have the rule they can not be apart more than 10 days is a clear sign she doesnt trust him and he doesnt trust himself.If he was really in love, they would not need a rule like that and Robert would not say something like the distance may affect the relationships..If he was really in love, he would be missing that person, not trying to find someone else..

He is a good actor, but as a person, I dont like him very much...It is like he creates a lot of doubts and insecurity..I would not feel relaxed in a relationship with him..
