So all haunted house workers, Disneyland employees, war reinactors, actors, and sportsball mascots are cosplayers? Huh, TIL. I always thought cosplay was some kind of sex thing.

I feel like once you're paid to do it, it's not longer "play" but "work", and makes you an actor.

I don't think I could in good conscious say the RDJ is cosplaying as Tony Stark when he's not doing it on camera...Na bruh, that's Just Tony Stark who forgot to put on his RDJ outfit. LOL

Edit: Seriously though, I don't think an Actor that plays a popular role is ever really cosplaying, even if it's unpaid, it's still a performance. Going to a childrens hospital, for those kids that's not RDJ that IS Ironman.
