Robert Downey Jr. has penned a touching tribute to his mother Elsie who passed away recently.
In the tribute that he posted on Facebook, the 'Iron Man' star urged fans to express their love for their mothers and admitted that his mother ultimately inspired him to get sober.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, he praised both his parents for the work they did together and recalled how a call she made to him at his lowest ebb made him overcome his addictions.
The 'Sherlock Homes' actor chronicled her struggle and also wrote about the last few years when she moved to Los Angeles to be with him and his family.
His mother, Elsie Ford, died on September 22 aged 80.
