The youngest member of the Downey family is stepping into the entertainment industry. Avri Downey, 11-year-old daughter of Robert Downey Jr., has landed a role in a new television series, with contract details revealing her compensation for the project.
According to a minor's contract obtained by TMZ.com, Avri Downey will receive $1,246 for one day of filming on the production titled "Oswald." The agreement was executed last year, with her character identified as "Family Photo Kid," suggesting a supporting role rather than a lead position.
The compensation represents a modest beginning compared to her father's reported $100 million salary for "Avengers: Doomsday," though the disparity reflects the typical trajectory of actors entering the profession. The contract includes standard industry provisions requiring all cast members to maintain professional conduct and avoid creating scandal during production.
While the exact nature of the project remains somewhat ambiguous, evidence points toward the Disney series "Oswald the Lucky Rabbit," which is being helmed by director Jon Favreau. The connection between families appears significant, as Favreau maintains a close professional relationship with Robert Downey Jr., having directed multiple installments of the "Iron Man" franchise featuring the elder Downey.
The casting decision suggests Favreau is extending opportunities to the children of his longtime collaborators, bringing a familial dimension to his latest directorial effort. For Avri Downey, the role marks her entry into a profession that has defined her father's career for decades.
