Downey and Monaghan are supposed to be the same age?
They needed to get either the casting people or the special effects geeks to work on that one.
shareI could buy it. Granted Downey, who’s defied his age for years, does look over 30 in this film while the fresh faced Monaghan looks fairly younger (which she is). But idk, I take it one of them took better care of themselves than the other. :) Age aside, they were both well-casted.
sharePuh-lease! Downey looked at least 45 in good lighting, which is odd because he was actually forty.
shareWell... EXCUSE me! “Over 30” can mean anything, including 60. 😏
That said, if RDJ in KKBB didn’t look like he was somewhere in his 30’s (37-8-9-ish), then he be lookin’ his real age in it.

Let’s say I’m being extremely generous to him and that he actually looked as old as you say, perhaps the odd reason he looked so much older was because he was still recovering from drugs and alcohol after years of abuse. Today he barely looks 45+, which is impressive considering what he went through in his younger years. share
Most actors look younger than their years, because they spend a hell of a lot of money on clinging to their youth. I know that Downey had neither the opportunity nor the motivation to do that for some years, so for a while he either looked his age, or a bit older.
IMHO it's actually benefitted him in the long run, he looks like a real person instead of an oversurgeried monster like so many actors of his age. He doesn't look younger than his years now, in the last "Avengers" film he did look like a man in his fifties... just a really handsome and photogenic man in his fifties.
