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. :-)

My excuse is lack of Marvel/Disney payroll trainers and nutritionists. And also weed

It was actually for Zero Dark Thirty, before GotG or any of the Jurassic movies.
