One person said, "Genetics, money, probably doesn't drink or smoke, is chill af [as f***] presumably." Another added, "Add a good skin care routine to that mix."

However, the actor keeps his routine simple, noting in chat with the Men’s Health that sleep, diet, and consistency come first for him.

When asked about the “secret to a superhero body” and “eternal youth”, he replied, “sleep" adding, “then diet, then weights, then cardio," while stressing that "the most important part of training is sleep".

Moreover, he mentioned that he sticks to a steady routine, including daily eggs and protein shakes, calling consistency “comforting” and pointed out, "Routine is a human need. It's grounding in a really positive and healthy way."
