London:
Iron Man Robert Downey Jr says he is starting to stress about turning 50 in four years' timeeven though he is very happy about his life.
The 46-year-old, whose wife Susan is expecting their first child together, said the thought of reaching his half-century is not an appealing one, Contactmusic reported.
"It's funny. I used to say that I'd welcome a bullet to the forehead if I ever ended up as a 40-something or remarried. Now I am that guy. It just goes to show that I usually don't know what's good for me in life. But I'm getting better at knowing that stuff. I'm 46 now, so the countdown to my half-century hasbegun. I'd have to be completely deranged not to stress about that," Downey said.
However, the actor says he has no intention of slowing down as he wants to live life to the fullest.
"Life is good. With a new baby on the way, maybe I ought to think about slowing down a little. But I can't see that happening in the short term." Downey also has an 18-year-old son Indio from hisprevious marriage to Deborah Falconer.
