I just wish I'd left sooner: Robert Downey Jr

California, Apr 29 (IBNS): Hollywood star Robert Downey Jr has said he does not regret walking out from a interview by British journalist Krishnan Guru-Murthy and felt he should have left sooner from it.

Downey told Howard Stern as quoted by hollywoodreporter.com on Tuesday as saying, "I just wish I'd left sooner."

"I'm one of those guys where I'm always kind of assuming the social decorum is in play and that we're promoting a superhero movie, a lot of kids are going to see it," he said on Stern's SiriusXM show.

"This has nothing to do with your creepy, dark agenda that I'm feeling like all of a sudden ashamed and obligated to accommodate your weirdo shit," the Avengers star was quoted as saying.

"I'm a 50-year-old guy … and I'm completely unevolved when it comes to simple boundaries. [I thought,] 'You know what? You're weirding me out. You're a bottom-feeding muckraker,'" he said.

During the interview, Robert Downey Jr was seen continuously getting uncomfortable as Krishnan Guru-Murthy asked him questions about his relationship with his father and other issues.

The actor left the show by saying 'bye' to the Channel 4 journalist.

"Oh dear. Abrupt end to our Robert Downey Jr interview when we started talking about jail and drugs. #walkout #c4news," the journalist had tweeted.

Robert Downey Jr's 'Avengers: Age of Ultron' hit the theatre recently.
