Remember when Robert Downey Jr mistakenly tweeted through his Huawei phone? Well, it was bound to invite trolls and a big uproar as the Iron Man actor is the brand ambassador for OnePlus 7 Pro series.

After the actor was criticised for this blatant error, he has now cleared the air by blaming his ássistant' for it. OnePlus Ambassador Robert Downey Jr Spotted Using Huawei P30 Pro: Report.

The actor has a Weibo account which is a popular chat platform in China, for keeping in touch with his fans and also promoting the OnePlus 7 series. And while his earlier forwarded post of Weibo faced severe backlash for an obvious error, he later rectified by posting a new post on his same chat account.  “Well, I guess it's time to upgrade my assistant to a new OnePlus 7 pro so mistakes don't happen again. @OnePlusmobilephone - up for a quick delivery run?” he clarified to lighten the situation. Robert Downey Jr and Jude Law's Sherlock Holmes 3 Will Not be Directed by Guy Ritchie?
