Doesn’t it feel like Guy Ritchie, Jude Law and Robert Downey Jr. have been filming that Sherlock Holmes movie forever? It’s like the never-ending film production. The latest gossip out of the production is that Jude Law is too tall compared to Robert Downey Jr. (what?). So director Guy Ritchie made Downey put on some kind shoe-lifts. Downey is the one playing Sherlock Holmes, and Law is playing Dr. Watson. What’s weird is that even in his best, sexiest roles (The Talented Mr. Ripley), Jude Law looks like a stiff wind could knock him over, he’s so small. So how big is Downey?
Filmmaker Guy Ritchie has given Robert Downey Jr. a boost!
The director has asked Downey Jr., who plays the iconic detective in the movie Sherlock Holmes, to wear a pair of four-inch platforms in his shoes – in a bid to raise him up to co-star Jude Law’s level, reports British newspaper The Sun.
Ritchie has ruled that the actor must wear the lifts in every scene he shares with Law, who plays Holmes’ sidekick Dr Watson – so that the sleuths are the same height.
A source tells the tabloid, “Rob is stumbling around a lot and cursing Guy over the silly shoes.”
[From hollywood.comActor Jude Law is recovering well after he damaged his neck during a gruelling work-out.
The Alfie star was pictured out and about in New York last week sporting a neck brace, but the reason behind the injury remained a mystery.
Now the riddle has been solved – the Brit damaged himself by working out too hard in the gym.
Law’s spokesperson tells New York gossip column PageSix.com, “He tweaked his neck working out and only had a brace on for a few days. He is fine now.”

Maybe he was straining his neck to check out the latest nanny? Or maybe he hurt it looking down on an American actor playing an iconic British character? That’s all I’ve got, those two jokes. But I still say Downey is bigger.
Here’s Jude and Robert on the Sherlock Holmes set in December and January. Images thanks to WENN.
