Chris Evans has made his mark on the screen with his performances as the superhero Iron Man and Captain America. He has appeared in Marvel Cinematic Universe blockbusters like Avengers: Age of Ultron, The Avengers: Endgame and Spider-Man: Homecoming, and also in The Nanny Diaries, The Losers, and Puncture. Moreover, he is the director of his first feature film, Before We Go. It premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2014.
After graduating from Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School in Massachusetts, Evans attended a summer acting camp in California. There he worked with fellow actors and gained valuable contacts. Later, he auditioned for television shows and feature films. One agent took him on as a client.
Chris Evans had a brief stint in a short-lived television show, Opposite Sex, in 2000. That summer, he got an internship at a casting agency in New York City. His agent sent him to Los Angeles, where he landed a few small roles. But it wasn’t until Evans had a role in the satirical Not Another Teen Movie that he got his big break.
Afterward, Evans got a job at a casting company in New York. In addition, he enrolled in classes at the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute in New York. Aside from his acting career, Evans has also served as a producer and is the director of his own movies. As a young actor, he was a fan of Disney. Eventually, he dreamed of becoming a cartoonist.
Ultimately, Evans played the Human Torch in two Fantastic Four films. Those films reportedly made him $500,000 per episode, and he was paid $300,000 for his first movie as Captain America.
He starred in The Avengers: Age of Ultron and had a cameo in Spider-Man: Homecoming. Additionally, Evans made his Broadway debut in Kenneth Lonergan’s Lobby Hero in 2018.
While he has always been known for his charismatic acting, it was in his roles as Iron Man and Captain America that he earned recognition and accolades for his talents. He has become the highest-paid actor in the world. Also, he advocates for equal rights for all people, including those in the entertainment industry.
With his appearance in Captain America: The First Avenger, Evans became the star of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, earning an estimated net worth of $80 million. During this time, he has also starred in the films Spider-Man: Homecoming, Ant-Man, The Winter Soldier, and Avengers: Endgame.
Throughout his career, Chris Evans has been linked to actresses such as Anne Hathaway, Lily Collins, Minka Kelly, and Jessica Biel. However, he has remained relatively quiet about his personal life in the media. Though he has been in a relationship with Slate for a few years, they ended their romance in the fall of 2017. Since then, Evans has dated his sister, Carly, and his friend, Alba Baptista.
Although his appearance in Captain America: The First Avenger earned him a lot of fans, Evans was not always thrilled to be playing the superhero. At the time, he didn’t think it would be the right fit for him.
