Take note, journalists. Tony Stark does not play around.
Robert Downey Jr., a.k.a. Iron Man, recently walked out of an interview with British Channel 4 News journalist Krishnan Guru-Murthy, after Guru-Murthy began asking personal questions about Downey Jr.'s "dark history," incarceration and drug abuse. (Things get uncomfortable around the four-minute mark.)

Let us remind you, Downey Jr. was doing a press day to promote the latest Avengers film, Age of Ultron. The questions veered a little too deep and off-topic, prompting Downey Jr. to abruptly leave.
After walking away, the actor tells Guru-Murthy, "It's just getting a little Diane Sawyer in here." No word yet if Guru-Murthy took that as a compliment or insult.
Guru-Murthy is no stranger to pushing celebrities buttons. A 2013 interview between he and Quentin Tarantino went viral when the journalist angered the film director after asking about the use of violence in Tarantino's films.
Age of Ultron premieres on May 1.
