Bruce Dickinson, Clint Eastwood, Harrison Ford.... they can do it because they have loads of money. That's the only way of making it at your age. You will need the money for passing the medical (even if you are in good shape), you will also need the money to fly 5 hours/day in order to build your logbook quickly, and you will need the money to corrupt some manager in order to land a job before they will put you in pension, which will happen when you turn 60.... you haven't got much time left, have you?
Oh, and one more, since the only aircraft you will be allowed to fly are warbirds or old planes, you will also need a lot of money to purchase (or lease) one.
