From the outside looking in, it's safe to assume that most actors are comfortable being in the spotlight or center of attention. After all, there are all those magazine covers to grace, talk shows to appear on, interviews to give, theaters to fill, etc. I'm not trying to say that ALL celebrities have giant egos, I'm just saying there is a certain attention-seeking type of gene in the celebrity folk.
Chris Evans is not one of those types, as it turns out. When I caught up with him during the press day for "Captain America: The First Avenger" recently, I brought up the fact that all superheroes and the actors who portray them have a certain dreamboat factor, and asked how he is accepting his dreamboat status. He became immediately uncomfortable with the subject.
"Am I at that status?" he said of his dreamboat factor, squirming in his seat. "I don't know."
I insisted that yes, he has indeed reached that status, since he's not only Captain America, but the featured eye candy in a saucy Gucci ad.
"Oh come on. Does that even look like me?" he said, bashfully. "They do a lot of stuff in photoshop world, you can pretty much make anybody look that way," he insisted.
"It's true," he continued. "I'm not even trying to fish, I'm being honest."
Isn't that adorable? I told Evans as much, and that if he's going to continue to be so humble, he better get used to ladies loving him even more. He continued to squirm, until I mentioned that there are a bunch of attractive men in "Captain America," and he was able to talk about his co-stars instead of himself.
"Yeah, there you go, tell that to the women. There are a lot of good looking guys in this film. Dom Cooper, Sebastian Stan," he said.
