Superheroes entertain and excite us as we indulge our imaginations. We love her for her superpowers, but even more for her mindset. They face challenges and tirelessly fight against adversity, despite being outdated, outnumbered, or overwhelming. They appeal to our latent desire to make a difference!

Heavy though the responsibilities of playing a superhero might be, how do the stars who are part of this massive film franchise keep a steady head on their shoulders in the face of astounding fame and success?

Here are some life lessons and principles that have helped them achieve victories in real life.

1. Chris Hemsworth

Never let your thinking become one dimensional.

Growing up, Chris lived on a cattle ranch before his family moved to the city and then to the coast. After experiencing different lifestyles, Chris and his siblings opened up a sense of living life like an adventure, from which grew his love of travel and desire to introduce his children to different cultures.

In an interview with Men’s Health magazine, Chrisclaims that “Travelling, meeting different types of people, and exploring different places teaches you more about life than you can learn from reading books.”

Even if your current life plan isn’t 100% clear yet, don’t just sit still and stagnate. Maintain uninterrupted progress.

During his teenage years, Hemsworth’s mind wandered, often having new endeavors each week, much to the amusement of his friends. He often wavered between doctor and boxer. In retrospect, Chris claims to have at least made sure that he never let himself deteriorate due to a lack of measures.

2. Robert Downey Jr.

There’s no better example of a celebrity living the phoenix metaphor of “rise, fall, and burn, only to rise again.” After finally beating his drug addiction, he rose to fame while starring as Marvel’s less-popular second-grade superhero, Iron Man, played. From there, he managed to reshape a career so successful that he topped Forbes’ list of highest-earning actors for two years in a row, in 2013 and 2014.

Robert Downey Jr. accepted the 2015 MTV Generation Award and highlighted his fight.

He said, “In the 34 years that have passed since the birth of MTV, I’ve grown, struggled and failed. I’ve partied way too much. I asked for a second chance and literally fought my way up. Along with my fellow Avengers, I advise you to dream big, work hard, keep your nose clean, be of service, and define your generation because you can. “

How did this massive trend reversal come about?

Take responsibility for your actions.

According to Robert, there is no benefit to being rejected or playing a victim. After collapsing in self-destructive ways many times, he insists that no matter how unhappy one may be with their lives, they participate and help create and prolong those nasty experiences. It is precisely this realization that will lead you to take your life into your own hands without being afraid of failure.

Find ways to spark your interest and excitement.

Living on purpose brightens even the dullest of routines. While Chris Hemsworth may have exciting travels, Robert is always busy with his new production company, Team Downey, exploring new projects.

Build a strong value system that you can identify with.

Once the value of honor is dismissed when Robert first heard Tommy Lee Jones talk about it as an attribute of utmost importance. Downey agrees at 50 that there is nothing else he identifies with so strongly. Understanding the importance of sticking to your commitments helped Robert build strong relationships that formed the basis of his now balanced and prosperous life.

In an interview with Success magazine, Downey affirmed, “Honour your loved ones, honor your commitments, honor your business partners, honor your fans, honor your work and the end product. And the greatest achievement of all: honor yourself.” On self-assessment, he further emphasizes: “For me it’s just this: are you in your own way or in your own way? Are you doing the right thing or is your heart heavy? “

3. Chris Evans (Captain America)

Evans moved to Los Angeles at the age of 18, eager to prove himself as an actor. Before he knew it, he was becoming a handsome boy with buff-bodied, commercial roles that had very little depth. After delivering a long string of flops came the “Fantastic Four” franchise, which also didn’t fare very well. During a press conference in Europe to promote the sequel, Chris suffered a massive anxiety attack.

He openly recognizes the crippling sense of disillusionment when he doesn’t believe in his work. In an interview he said: “I’ve done about 20 films and I’m probably proud of three.” One of the roles he’s most proud of is playing mace in Danny Boyle’s big budget, sci-fi film “Sunshine,” which was also catastrophically bombed at the box office.

Life is chaotic, fight to find yourself in your struggle and tackle your fears head-on.

Chris Evans’ growing popularity, just for him sex appeal, and the lack of privacy that came with it bothered him so much that he turned down the role of Captain America a number of times before finally relenting. But shortly before the shooting, Chris got worried again, which he treated intensively.

The massive success of “Captain America” ​​and “The Avenger” left him humbled and grateful. He uses his free time to study other aspects of filmmaking, regularly retiring from the overly glamorous and competitive environment of Los Angeles to reconnect with his internal control center in his hometown of Boston.

Learn to act above the noise of your thoughts.

Don’t be fooled by what you should be doing all the time. Take some time to satisfy your creative urges, which are likely to emanate from activities that bring joy regardless of external validation.

Chris claims that he’s felt best when it creates to calm his fears and just be 100% in the present. An important source of fulfillment for him is the time behind the camera. In 2013 he made his first indie film “1:30 Train”.

4. Mark Ruffalo (Hulk)

Mark Ruffalo is Marvel’s third attempt at the Hulk right, and certainly one of the most popular yet. Despite this, he claims he fought for ten years before getting a break. He completed 800 auditions without playing a single role.

Just as he was beginning to find a secure position as an actor, doctors diagnosed just a few weeks before his wife was due to give birth to their first child. Ruffalo thought that was it. He would die. The tumor turned out to be benign but left half of his face paralyzed for almost a year, leading doctors to claim he might never get his entire face back.

In true superhero style, Ruffalo survived, recovered, and went back to doing the things he loved to do.

Learning to accept disruption will help build a stronger, more resilient character.

Considering Mark’s traumatic and bizarre life, his friends coined the term “becoming a Ruffaloed.” He was referring to Mark’s ability to survive bad luck and turn it into personal gain. Though personal losses have struck him, he used his life experiences to add complexity to the characters he plays. Now his work speaks of versatility that few actors have to prove for themselves.

Forget the pressure, when you put your heart 100% into something, you create greatness.

In 2008, Mark’s younger brother Scott lost his life in what was ruled a murder. The case was never resolved. Mark experienced the trauma of losing a beloved sibling and had to learn to contemplate the mystery of his loss. He decided to quit acting and moved his family to a farm in upstate New York.

A chance on the script for The KidsAll Right made Mark take his last role. He sculpted the character to reflect his late brother’s personality and poured all of his creative energy into it. The small budget film received worldwide acclaim and Ruffalo received an Oscar nomination. Life has never been the same for him since then. He eventually made the A-list for actors.

When asked to give the best life advice he can; Mark Ruffalo quoted from an article by Michael Stipe that he identified with.
