Susan Downey is a successful film producer and the wife of actor Robert Downey Jr. The couple tied the knot in 2005 and currently reside in Malibu, California.
Born on November 6, 1973, Susan, whose birth name is Susan Nicole Levin, has had a prolific career in the film industry. In 2010, she and Robert launched their production company, Team Downey, and have since worked on numerous successful projects together.
Susan has been involved in the production of several hit movies, including RocknRolla (2008), Sherlock Holmes (2009), and The Book of Eli (2010). Her collaboration with her husband extends to films like Dolittle and The Judge.
The couple shares two children, Avri and Exton, and have also worked together on a Netflix documentary about Robert’s father, Robert Downey Sr., who passed away in July 2021.
Susan and Robert first met on the set of the 2003 film Gothika, and this encounter led to a lasting personal and professional partnership. In a 2020 interview with Inc.com, Susan described Team Downey as a “mom-and-pop” organization striving for hands-on creativity and love for the work they do.
The decision to work together was prompted by the couple’s desire to spend more time with each other, as they had previously been spending too much time apart. According to Susan, this new direction allowed them to explore their creativity together, fueling their passion for filmmaking.
Before marrying Susan, Robert had been previously married to Deborah Falconer. His marriage to Falconer ended in 2004, and he exchanged vows with Susan the following year. The couple’s successful partnership has proven to be both personally fulfilling and professionally rewarding.
