Best Answer

Robert Downey, Jr. is of three eighths Jewish ancestry. Robert's paternal grandfather was the son of Lithuanian Jewish parents. Robert's paternal grandmother was the daughter of a father of Irish (non-Jewish) descent, and of a Hungarian Jewish mother. Robert's mother was not Jewish. Robert is married to a Jewish woman.

(Note that the above refers to ancestry, not religion. In Judaism, one's religion is determined by that of the mother [except for converts]).
