I have seen it, Jude. IT DOES NOT DISAPPOINT.
Interviewer: Tell us about your relationship with Robert Downey Jr.
Jude Law: Oh, I love him.
Interviewer: You have a bit of a bromance going on there.

i’m not all that into bones this season. in fact, i’m posting How I Met Your Mother gifs on tumblr while watching the most recent episode because i just.don’t.care.
