Robert Downey Jr Punch Gone Wrong On Sherlock Holmes Set

Robert Downey Jr. reportedly had to get six stitches in his mouth on set of his latest film Sherlock Holmes.

The Iron Man actor was filming a fight scene with seven foot tall co-star Robert Maillet when the big man threw a punch that left Downey Jr. “out cold.” A nurse on set attended to the star and gave him six stitches in his mouth.

A source says:

“Robert was accidentally caught on the chin by a thundering hook. He went flying and was out cold. He didn’t want to go to the hospital and kept trying to get up. He’s a trooper.”
