This is basically the plot of Breaking Bad.

Walter was almost in his 40s at the beginning of the series.

Went back and checked: Walter was 50 at the start of the series. The series spanned two years of in-universe time, and he died at 52.

Anyway, the point stands. Cooking meth is a valid shared interest for an older man and a younger man to bond over.
