Forbes magazine thinks so, partly because the two are older. Ah well, at least Arnie can hope to change the constitution and run for President.
True, but Robert Downey Jr is in his 40's....
They need to quit being cast as action heroes and start talking on "administration" character roles.

YES! Clint Eastwood is awesome, but I don't know if he's still be the right pick for Dirty Harry
As Eastwood got older so did his characters. I think one of the reasons “The Dead Pool” was not too successful was because we didn’t want to see a turning 60 Dirty Harry. So in his 60’s he did In the Line of Fire and Unforgiven and that we wanted to see.
True, but Robert Downey Jr is in his 40's and is the most popular action star (sortof) around.
An odd comparison - Downey in his 40’s and those two in their
60’s. Schwarznegger was in his 40’s when he made Total Recall,
Terminator 2, Last Action Hero, True Lies and Eraser. No one was
saying he was beyond his prime as an action here then. Stallone
was in his 40’s when he made Rambo III, Rocky V, Cliffhanger,
Demolition Man, The Specialist and Judge Dredd. No one was saying
he was beyond his prime as an action here then. From the late
1980’s through the late 1990’s while Stallone was admittedly
waning as an action star, Schwarznegger was still on top as an
action star.
All action stars get old move on. some make better choices than
others. Ford is a great example as is Eastwood. As Eastwood got
older so did his characters. I think one of the reasons “The Dead
Pool” was not too successful was because we didn’t want to see a
turning 60 Dirty Harry. So in his 60’s he did In the Line of Fire and
Unforgiven and that we wanted to see.
I think both Schwarznegger and Stallone would do better in better
movies. Nothing at all wrong with Escape Plan - I liked it - but the
general audience sees them as too old to be an action star like they
were in their 40’s.
he wants to change the constitution and run for President.
I dunno 'bout y'all, but I'm really looking forward to Arnie's return in the next Conan film.
