Robert Downey jr sang for guests at his 50th birthday party.

The Iron Man star was treated to a performance from Duran Duran before joining jazz rock band Steely Dan on the stage to belt out Reelin’ in the Years.

He said: “It was kind of a big deal. What occurred was I had two bands. I had Duran Duran play and then they opened for Steely Dan. I was stoked.

“They said: ‘Come up and sing Reelin’ in the Years because we saw you sing that at a show once,’ and I was like (shakes his head).”

However, things didn’t go as well for Robert as he hoped.

Speaking on The Late Show with David Letterman, he added: “I forgot the words because I was a little excited to be up on stage with Steely Dan.”
