It has been a great time for Downey’s, as the star has been celebrating his recent win. 

When Robert Downey Jr. spoke of his wife of 18 years, with words that still resonate in everyone's ears, “You loved me back to life,” each one who heard the expression during his Oscar acceptance speech wanted to know more about Susan and her perspective of the relationship. 

In her latest interview with Esquire for their spring 2024 issue, the mother of three recalled her best moments with the Due Date actor. 

“Everybody loves the simple narrative of somehow I came in and turned his life around and blah, blah, blah. But I can tell you that I would never be who I am without him in my life,” Susan stated. 

Further speaking of her husband, The Brave One film producer said, “His trajectory is just the easier one to chart because he’s had to live his ups and downs in public. When we met, we were fortunate that he was in a place where he was open to do things differently than he had historically. But you know what? So was I.”

The Tropic Thunder star had met Susan in 2003 on the set of Gothika and now shares two kids with her along with his son Indio, who he shares with ex-wife, Deborah Falconer. 

Calling him "the source of humor, wit, and joy,"  Susan can notice Roberts's talent that he shows at home and in her kids as well.

Moreover, as per the Sherlock Holmes actor, family time “just gives me, honestly, something to attach my neurosis to that's positive.”
