Introducing Esquire’s April/May 2020 issue, starring @ChrisEvans. The artist formerly known as Captain America has earned total freedom—now, he sat down with @TheRealSager to discuss what he’s going to do with it. http://esqr.co/tKp7RBE
Evans's next acting project is @AppleTV+’s 'Defending Jacob.' He plays an assistant district attorney who is torn between his job and his love for his teenage son, who has been accused of murder. http://esqr.co/4bOGDRn
On seeing the final cut: “It was a little disconcerting. A lot of scenes where I’m doing certain things, like, for instance, my character’s morning routine in the kitchen—there was the tie, the cup of coffee, and I was like, ‘Wow, I am watching my dad.” http://esqr.co/4bOGDRn
Evans was first introduced to acting while watching his sister’s plays—and jealousy, it turns out, is excellent motivation. http://esqr.co/4bOGDRn
His passions have widened. Enter: his new political website, A Starting Point ( @ASP). "It just was one of those things where you see a hole and you think, I have an idea to fill that,” he says. http://esqr.co/4bOGDRn
Evans’s reasoning is pure: “I just want to say to people, ‘You know what’s helpful?’ That’s the beginning of the sentence. The site is not an antidote. It’s not medicine. It’s not a cure. It’s not the solution. It’s just something I think is helpful." http://esqr.co/4bOGDRn
On the future: “I just kind of wake up and follow my appetite. I’m at a point in my life now where I have the very, very fortunate luxury of pursuing what I want to do. And I don’t corrupt that process by thinking about how other people see me.” http://esqr.co/4bOGDRn
