He told Leno that he wasn’t allowed to reveal the baby’s gender, but then blurted it out.
“I am not permitted to discuss it. I can’t say a word,” he said, adding “We’re having a boy!”
He then put his head in his hands and feigned horror, saying “S—. I did it.”
As for how the pregnancy has been going, Downey joked that “it’s been tougher on me. Just the hormones and the moods stuff and the nausea, and the whole thing.”
