(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Robert Downey Jr. thinks becoming older has grounded him.

The talented actor made his screen debut at the tender age of five, and has worked consistently in the realm of film and television for the past four decades.

Hollywood hunk Robert is now 45, and he admits the ageing process has affected his personal life and his career. Robert feels many of the chances he would have had ten or 20 years ago are no longer open to him, which has helped keep his feet on the ground and prevented him from being arrogant.

I feel my age. I feel my limit as much as I feel my opportunities, and its had a very grounding effect on me, he admitted.

Robert also thinks looks are only superficial, and doesnt see the point in battling to look younger when youll still end up feeling the same on the inside. He knows he looks good for a man approaching 50, but doesnt see that as relevant.

No matter how someone looks for their age, they are still their age, added the star. (C) Cover Media
