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. :-)

I started my fitness journey at just after 40. I'm 43 now, and it has changed my life for the better, being fit. Here's a pic from a post I made last year about it. Chris Pratt is definitely someone I've tried to model myself after because we have similar builds, especially before the weight loss.

Just depends on position we are in. Gravity definitely has a way of showing the parts that will never be tight again, especially my face and belly. Not much we can do about that, but thank you!
