Robert Downey Jr. says he has a good day when he gets to beat people up.

The actor urged writers and the stunt department of 'Iron Man 2' to give his character more action scenes because they are his favourite to film.

He said: "The action's certainly got bigger because I went to do 'Sherlock Holmes', which was a real adventure.

"So coming back into this I really challenged our stunt team to get our hands dirty a little more because I was still kind of into that… I love it so much.

"There is no better day that I can have than one where I beat people up or get thrown around. I just love it.

"It's supposed to be safe, but it's a little more than acting so it's really fun."

The actor also admitted he always believed he would be more successful than other people expected.

He added to Empire magazine: "I always had a huge confidence in myself and saw myself having a far better career than anyone thought.

"Not in an unrealistic, narcissistic kind of way, I just think I was always irrationally optimistic about it."
