Robert Downey Jr. and Susan Downey
Robert Downey Jr. and Susan Downey have named their newborn daughter Avri Roel Downey.
The 'Chef' star, who already has two-year-old son Exton with his producer wife of nine years, is besotted with their baby girl, who he joked has inherited "a variety of Susan's traits" instead of his own "junk DNA."
Writing on his Facebook page today (05.11.14), the 49-year-old actor shared: "Yep...Avri Roel Downey joined the party at 3:22 a.m. on November 4th...she's 7lbs even, spans 20 inches, and is accompanied by a variety of Susan's traits that have seemingly overwritten my 'junk DNA.'
"I'll post pics here and there when I'm not too busy staring..."
The 'Iron Man 3' star, who also has a 21-year-old son, Indio, from a previous marriage, admitted he can't stop taking pictures of Avri.
He wrote: "After 9 months of intensive development, Team Downey is pleased to announce our 2014 fall/winter project.
"Principal photography commenced 11-14 and will continue until she says, 'Dad! You are embarrassing me...I'm 30, this has gotta stop.' "
Robert previously confessed he was nervous about raising a daughter.
He said: "I've never had a daughter before, so I don't know what really prepares a dad. I'm asking around. But I did my part and now I'm just going to show up and do what I'm told."
