Even if you like popping gum bubbles occasionally, would you really part with Rs 45 lakh of your money to own a chewed piece of gum? Well, if the gum came directly from Robert Downey Jr., the top dog in Hollywood, you may think about the investment.
In-depth details about Robert Downey Jr. chewed gum was put up for auction for Rs. 45 lakhs
A recent online auction selling a piece of chewed gum from Robert Downey Jr. has left the internet gasping, stretching the limits of insane and bizarre. On the internet, a user of eBay has been claiming to have obtained a piece of Ironman’s gum.
The user claims that while the Marvel superhero was at the Hollywood Walk of Fame for Jon Favreau’s star-giving ceremony last month, he discovered the gum. But the first starting price on the eBay auction was close to Rs. 32 lakh ($40,147.47, to be exact). Since then, the prices have increased tremendously.
Around Rs 45 lakh ($50,000) was the most recent high bid at the time this story was submitted. On Saturday, April 1, when the auction’s final day is scheduled to complete, it is anticipated that the prices would increase even further.
The lucky buyer will receive the chunk of gold in a plastic container, and the vendor has specified that returns are not permitted. The item’s description from the vendor reads, “Hi! I just so happened to be nearby when Jon Favreau, a well-known actor and producer, was inducted into the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
“At the occasion, Robert Downey Jr. himself placed his gum on the Star and likely left it there, which I was able to snag,” the speaker added. It can be tested for his DNA, and I’m selling it in the same condition I got it in.
The actor jokingly slapped his chewed piece of gum on the star to honour his friend and “Ironman” director Jon Favreau, therefore the story does correspond to what happened that day.
