Chris Evans called People magazine’s “Sexiest Man Alive”
Captain America’s actor Chris Evans has acquired a new superpower – winning People Magazine’s ‘Sexiest Man Alive’ in 2022.
Publication announced on Monday night that Evans had won the coveted distinction and the appropriate cover.
The 41-year-old star takes over the crown from last year’s champion and fellow Avenger, Paul Rudd. Rumors had it that Evans won the title last year ahead of Rudd’s official announcement, which surprised many fans.
The Gray Man star told People that she expects his friends to tease him about the tagging while his mom relishes her son’s newly discovered title.
“It’s really just going to be a point of intimidation,” Evans joked in an interview with People. “Ripe for harassment.
“My mom will be so happy,” he said. “She’s proud of everything I do, but it’s something she can really brag about.”
His mom, Lisa, told People that she wasn’t even a bit surprised that her handsome son was considered the sexiest man alive.
Evans said his high school self would be “pumped up” if he found out about his fate.
“That would probably be the way to a nice table that I wasn’t at,” he said.
However, Evans felt more shy than conceited about his new award.
“This whole thing is hard to interview,” People said with a laugh. “It’s a strange form of humble bragging.”
Evans rose to fame for his role as superhero Johnny Storm in two “Fantastic Four” films released in 2005 and 2007.
However, his career really took off when he played the namesake star of “Captain America: The First Avenger” in 2011. He reprized his role in 10 Marvel movies that ended in 2019, “Avengers: Endgame.”
He recently voiced Buzz Lightyear in the Pixar movie “Light Year” and played the villain opposite Ryan Reynolds in Netflix’s “Gray Man”.
A Massachusetts native is following in the footsteps of the prior superhero movie stars like Rudd, Reynolds, and Chris Hemsworth. Other notable sexy men from the past include Michael B. Jordan, John Legend, Dwayne Johnson, Idris Elba, Adam Levine, Richard Gere, Channing Tatum, and David Beckham.
Evans said he would cherish the title of “sexiest man” throughout his life.
“This is something that when I get old and saggy, I can look back and say,” Then I remember … “said Evans. “I am lucky to be able to participate in any discussion of any kind.”
