Josh Brolin, the guy who gives “big purple meanie” a whole new meaning as Thanos in the MCU, is throwing some major love at his buddy, Robert Downey Jr., and it’s just as adorable as watching kittens play with yarn.

So, here’s the scoop: our favorite 56-year-old Titan just caught Downey, 59, flexing his acting muscles in a Broadway show called McNeal at the Vivian Beaumont Theater in New York City. Picture it: Downey strutting around the stage like he owns the place—well, technically he does, at least for the duration of the show—playing a writer named Jacob McNeal. This guy’s got more baggage than an airport during the holiday rush. He’s dealing with an estranged son, a new novel, old grudges, and an unhealthy obsession with AI. You know, just your average Tuesday for a dramatic playwright!

Josh was practically gushing, saying, “Saw McNeal at @lctheater tonight with a great cast helmed by our great @robertdowneyjr (who was astounding).” I mean, if he had a glitter pen, he would’ve written it in sparkles!

But wait, there’s more! He went on to thank Downey for “continuing to find the most soul-challenging roads in sobriety.” That’s a fancy way of saying, “Hey buddy, thanks for not drinking the magic juice and for being a beacon of how to live your best life!” Josh wrapped it up with a heartfelt “Love you, pal,” which honestly feels like a scene straight out of a rom-com. 💎💎💎

He even shared a snap of the two of them hanging out backstage with video game guru Donald Mustard and the Russo brothers, who are probably just trying to figure out how to bring the Avengers back for yet another round of superhero shenanigans.

These two have shared the screen in epic blockbusters like Avengers: Endgame, Infinity War, and Age of Ultron. So, basically, they’re like the superhero version of that pair of jeans you can’t bear to part with.

Go ahead and check out the adorably sappy post—your heart might just do a little somersault!
