Robert Downey Jr., who co-stars with Halle Berry in the supernatural horror film Gothika, admitted that he was responsible for the broken arm Berry suffered while filming, according to the Zap2It.com Web site. "It was an accident," Downey said in an interview while promoting his latest film, The Singing Detective. "And I was at fault. Yes."
Gothika tells the story of Dr. Miranda Grey (Berry), a criminal psychologist, who awakens to find herself a patient in her own mental institution with no memory of the murder she's apparently committed. Downey plays a psychiatrist in the institution. The actor described the incident on the set as an unfortunate miscalculation on his part. "Look, let me put it this way," he said. "If you're the person pushing the other person's arm back onto the cot, and you feel her ulna snap in your hand, and you've been pumping iron for six weeks because you weren't in every scene so you're getting all [restless] ..."
The site reported that Downey was sorry, but he put the injury in perspective. "She's got bigger fish to fry than a broken arm right now," he said, presumably in reference to Berry's troubled marriage to singer Eric Benet. The couple announced on Oct. 1 that they are separating.
