Robert Downey Jr. has made his mark in Hollywood in a number of ways, and one of them is going up for sale.
A piece of Iron Man star gum is listed for sale on eBay with a whopping asking price of $55,000.
The Oscar winner, 57, who is currently competing on a Vertigo remake, placed a piece of ABC gum on pal star Jon Favreau during a photoshoot at the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Feb. 13.
The move appeared to be part of an inside joke, as the action hero said he did it, “just to make it official.”
The item description posted on the online auction site reads, “Hi! I happened to be in the area during the event that famous actor and producer Jon Favreau has been added to the Hollywood Walk of Fame.”

“During the event, Robert Downey Jr. put his gum on the star and supposedly left it there, which I managed to disable.”
The seller closed the listing with, “I am selling it in the same condition I got it and it can be tested for its DNA.”
The auction will end on Friday at 1:05 am.
So far, no bids have been placed for the drool-infused item, but interested buyers often wait until the last minute to make their final bids.

In the meantime, Robert will be enjoying material for his upcoming projects.
He has already completed production on Oppenheimer, a film centered on the scientist who presided over the creation of the atomic bomb.
The historical drama is set to hit theaters in July.
