Iron Man Star Robert Downey Jr. Wishes Gwyneth Paltrow a Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday, Gwyneth Paltrow! The actor known for playing Pepper Potts in the Marvel Cinematic Universe turns 47 today, and she's been met with many well-wishes on social media. One person to send her some love online is none other than her on-screen husband, Robert Downey Jr., who plays Tony Stark/Iron Man in the Marvel films. Downey Jr. took to Twitter to send Paltrow a birthday greeting by using a gif of one of their more intense moments from Iron Man 3.

"Here's to another one 'round the sun. Hope your birthday is as fire as you are @GwynethPaltrow," Downey Jr. wrote.

Paltrow hasn't been active on Twitter since May, so there's no telling if she's seen the message, but many other people commented on the post:

"THESE TWO🔥🔥🔥," @MTVAwards wrote.

"Awww Happy birthday @GwynethPaltrow. We love you both 3000, Pepperony forever ♥️," @thetony_stark replied.

"The same day Spidey comes back to the MCU? Coincidence? I think not. HER POWER," @itsjustanx joked.

It's true! News of Sony and Disney's reconciliation happened to fall on Paltrow's birthday, giving Marvel fans much to celebrate. The news broke earlier today that the companies will be teaming up for one more Spider-Man movie, and Holland will be able to show up in one more MCU film.
