It's always nice to get a few messages from friends on your birthday, isn't it?

Well, if you happen to be Robert Downey Jr., you get more than just a few.

Not to mention the fact that some are video messages from the likes of Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson, casually wishing you the best from what looks like the Men in Black: International set.

Here's the video, in all its glory:

"Happy birthday Robert, happy 50th," says Downey's Avengers co-star Hemsworth in the clip above. "We're also 50 if you add our ages together."

"And then subtract," chips in Thompson.

No response yet from the man himself, but in fairness he probably has quite a few birthday messages to get through.
