The boy is a huge superhero fan, but he managed to stay very cool when meeting the real Iron Man.

Downey opened two silver cases to reveal both the bionic limb and his own Iron Man arm, and then they compared the two arms. The actor complimented Alex by saying that his arm is much better than Iron Man’s. Downey said it was an ‘absolute privilege’ to deliver the 3D-printed prosthetic to Alex.
