We’re sorry in advance if you dream of Bunny-Chick Downey Jr. tonight! The actor is actually no stranger to silly Easter posts. In the past, he’s shared some hilarious photos of himself in a bunny costume. You can check out one of the posts from Easter 2019 below:

Downey Jr. usually posts a fun photo for the major holidays. During Thanksgiving last year, he shared a special message on social media, however, this time he channeled a different iconic character: Sherlock Holmes. During a keynote chat at Fast Company’s Innovation Festival last year, Downey Jr. talked about the future of the Sherlock Holmes franchise and teased that he’d like to see the films spawn something similar to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

“At this point, we really feel that there is not a mystery-verse built out anywhere, and Conan Doyle is the definitive voice in that arena, I think, to this day,” he said about the future of the franchise past Sherlock Holmes 3. “So to me, why do a third movie if you’re not going to be able to spin off into some real gems of diversity and other times and elements?”

Happy Birthday and Happy Easter, Robert Downey Jr.!
