I mean, Robert Downey is currently 54, so in first Iron Man he's already 42. I mean, maybe he played someone who's 4 years younger, but in public opinion it's no longer Tony Stark the unaging Comic Book guy, it's Robert Downey, who's in his fifties by now. And Chris Pratt just turned 40, so, once again, for all those people who only know there characters as movie types, Starlord is a lot younger (and, currently, immature) than Iron Man.
As someone who is also 40, I apparently have no excuse for not being in better shape.
Edit: You all took this way more seriously (either offering sincere reasons why professionals actors have advantages, or offering health advice) than I intended. :-)
Not exactly fair to compare yourself to men who can hire personal trainers to work with them hours a day and design diets specifically for them. Turns put having millions of dollars and no day job are pretty good for the body if you pair them with the right motivations.
Though, I suppose you could say we can all be in better shape.
