Close friend and Marvel co-star Robert Downey Jr. brought his signature wit and charm in his tribute to the actor, delivering a sweet speech for the occasion, dressed in a patterned navy blue suit with Ray-Ban Aviator shades.

He took it a step further, though, reaching out to their Avengers co-stars for three words to describe the actor. Jeremy Renner shared "absurdly annoyingly amazing," Mark Ruffalo sent "friend from work," Scarlett Johansson quipped "sensitive leading lady," and Chris Evans added "second best Chris."
