"We had to divide and conquer" - Oppenheimer actor Robert Downey Jr. & wife Susan balance historic Oscars weekend kids' baseball games

Famous actor Robert Downey Jr. and his wife Susan were triumphant last Sunday as the veteran actor clinched his first-ever Oscar (Best Supporting Actor) for his role in Oppenheimer. However, the couple faced a bigger challenge than RDJ's Academy bid.

Their son Exton, who is 12 years old, had a Little League schedule. At the same time, their nine-year-old daughter Avri had a softball game on the same day as well.

In an interview with People, Downey Jr. shared that he and his wife had to split the duties, with the actor going with Exton while Susan accompanied Avri. The former Iron Man star also added that both their children were starting pitchers for their respective games, making their attendance even more important.

“We had to divide and conquer," RDJ said.
