During my trip this month to Los Angeles I attended the Captain America Press Junket and was able to interview the the one and only Chris Evans “Captain America“…
Not only is he HOT in the movies, he is definitely as HOT in person!
Interviewing Chris Evans was definitely an amazing experience that I wish would have lasted a bit longer. You only get so many minutes with each cast member and you have to be quick to raise your hand to ask a question. During this interview, I made sure I was able to ask Captain America a question that my readers and I were really wanting to know.
I asked Chris: “What was it like, seeing yourself as Captain America for the first time?“. To find out his answer, you have to listen to my clip:
The clip above was just my question with Chris Evans Captain America. Here are some of the other questions that our group was able to ask him!
What qualities in Captain America do you find in yourself?
Chris Evans: Aww. How do you answer that question? He’s such a good guy. ‘Cause there’s no way to sound — all right, what do I find in myself? Um. You know. I think he’s always trying to do better. You know, I don’t think I’m as good of a man as he is, but I think as good of a man as he is, he’s always trying to improve, so I think the one thing I am working towards on a daily basis is just trying to find ways to evolve.
Do you find that that character has good qualities, and plays like a role model?
Chris Evans: Oh, completely. Yeah. When I took the role, there’s a kid that I grew up with. This kid named Charlie. You can all write this down. Charlie Morris. He’ll love this. But he won’t. He’ll hate this, ’cause he’s Capt. America. He’s like, the best kid I know. He was an Eagle scout. And being an Eagle scout is not easy. You’ve got to really do it for a long time. But he’s just such a good man, and he genuinely, genuinely puts himself last. He lives by a code. When nobody’s looking, he’s the man that he wants to be, and that’s impressive.
And so when I took the role, I told Charlie, “Listen. I’m modeling this after you.” And it’s such a great character to aspire to be. You know. It’s such a great character. If you’ve got to go to set every day and try and tweak your brain into a certain state of mind, that’s a pretty good place to be.
Who would win in a fight between Batman and Captain America?
Chris Evans: Oh. You’ve gotta go Capt. America. Come on. I thought you were going to say Capt. America and the Human Torch. That’s a tougher question. Batman? Batman? What does he have? Toys? Don’t write that. Don’t write that. It’s gotta be Cap…. What’s that? Well, you can’t — Superman is, that’s not even fair. Who wrote Superman? That’s not fair. What can he not do? You don’t even — well, I’m not about to say what I was about to say, ’cause that’s going to be printed, and then I’ll get fired.
If you had a 2nd choice for a superhero to play, who would you choose?
Chris Evans: You know, I’ll say it: I miss Johnny Storm. I liked the Human Torch. He was a fun guy to play. I liked, you know, I would say someone like Iron Man, but no one can touch Robert Downey Jr. It’s fun to play someone with life. It’s fun to play someone who enjoys embracing their abilities, and Johnny Storm was a lot of fun to play. And that costume was comfy. It was like a wetsuit. It was perfect.
