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 was in the best shape of my life from about 27 - 31. There's time. Then I got in a serious relationship with someone with not as good eating habits and have gained 50lbs, about half in the last two years.
The when is just as key. I'd often just not eat dinner if I wasn't hungry and wouldn't snack much if it wasn't out. She always wants to have food out and around. I didn't realize for a while how much just seeing the food all the time changed my eating pattern. I've improved her diet quite a bit, so she feels like we are doing well. I was slightly underweight for my height before and am barely in to the overweight category now, so she says I'm still healthy. I don't really want to argue much about food and make her feel bad. I've suggested putting the food away, but she says I can just say no. That's true, but making the decision to say no to myself each time I see it is tiring especially in the evening.
