I don't find this strange at all. Iron Man's personailty in the MCU is almost exactly like Haweye's from the comics. It's possible RDJ recognizes this.

It’s likely because he’s mentioned in several interviews Hawkeye is his youngest sons favorite and has been for years.

Ok, now I need the RDJ rendition of the Hawkeye singing about his super powers song from the Tonight Show back before AoU came out.
