Robert Downey Jr. has no plans to swap action roles for more serious ones as he gets older.

The actor - who can be seen bare-knuckle boxing in ‘Sherlock Holmes’ and performs many of his own stunts in upcoming superhero movie ‘Iron-Man 2′ - is enjoying his new reputation as a big screen hero and has no plans to turn his back on the genre.

Downey, 44, said: “If the material is still good and you still like to work with the people - why not? ‘Sherlock Holmes’ was a life-changing experience. That’s due to the extensive research we did and because I could actually realise such a big project. I would still play characters like Sherlock in the future. Although, I will probably have another child and an alcohol free vineyard by then.”

The actor - who is married to producer Susan Levin and has a 16-year-old son Indio with his ex-wife Deborah Falconer - has been enjoying shooting ‘Iron-Man 2′ but admits it has been hard work getting in and out of his suit.

Scarlett Johansson was “apprehensive” about doing charity work in Africa.

The 25-year-old actress was nervous when she recently travelled to Rwanda to support several women’s charities - which help improve the lives of females in the poverty-hit region - because she had been warned she might be disturbed by what she saw.

She said: “I had a bit of apprehension walking into the first hospital. But I soon realised you’re standing before people. They might be very ill but they’re just people like everyone else. Suddenly you’re not aware of how you’re feeling, how you’re going to look. If you let your guard down and stop being aware of yourself, you’re able to really connect with people.”

During her work with charity Red, the blonde beauty was amazed by how positive the women she visited were and how strong their bond was with each other.
