Here's Robert Downey Jr. dressed as the Easter Bunny, gazing into the middle distance

What is going on here?

Easter Sunday has passed, but the conversation about Easter isn't quite over. Especially when you see something like this pop up on your Twitter feed.

It's nothing really, just Robert Downey Jr. dressed as an Easter Bunny in a purple sport coat and looking like he's on the verge of tears while cute alpacas chill in the background.

Wait, what?

You probably have a lot of questions, like what is going on? Why wasn't Robert Downey Jr. the Easter Bunny of my youth? Is it too late for Robert Downey Jr. and I to go on an Easter egg hunt?

While we aren't able to answer most of your questions, we were able to trace this bizarre "RDJ as bunny" photo to a video the actor released around Easter last year. The video was to announce that he was starting his own charity called Random Act Funding, which grants funds to organizations doing great work.

And at the beginning and end of the video, RDJ is the Easter Bunny you see in his tweet above.

Honestly, we are glad that Robert Downey Jr. brought back the bunny, even if it's a year old. More of the world should be seeing him as the Easter Bunny instead of Sean Spicer.
