When they finish, the \"Ironman\" actor applauds his kids for doing a \"great job\" and asks them, \"I'll let you get back to your pumpkin carving, but what do I owe ya?\"

The video then cuts to Downey Jr., dressed in an orange sweatsuit with a pumpkin stem atop his freshly shaven head. He spins around to reveal the back of his head has been painted to look like a jack-o'-lantern.
