This story seems pretty darn fake, but I wanted an excuse to post photos of Chris Evans’ massive arms before the holiday. So let’s have some fun with it anyway. Evans has been sequestered on the set of Captain America 3, which is good for him. This gives the guy fewer opportunities to say dumb stuff to the press. Anthony Mackie did his part by telling the world how Evans needs a lady to take care of him. A week or so later, and we’re hearing about a new romance for Chunk Butt — Elizabeth Olsen.
As a couple, this is an interesting possibility. In May, we heard about how Lizzie and Tom Hiddleston possibly hooked up on the set of I Saw the Light but were keeping it casual. This Enquirer story says the Tom-Lizzie coupling was a decoy, so no one would find out about her hot-and-heavy relationship with Evans. For real?
Chris Evans almost did a super job of hiding his fling with Captain America: Civil War co-star Elizabeth Olsen!
Rumors swirled in May that Mary-Kate and Ashley’s baby sis “Lizzie” had hooked up with Tom Hiddleston, but on-set spies revealed that romance was “a total decoy.”
“Chris and Lizzie are definitely involved in some kind of ultra-secret romance that’s being kept under wraps while they shoot,” said The Enquirer’s on-set source in Atlanta. “The attraction between them ahs been there form day one.
“But Chris is paranoid about his womanizing becoming public while he’s on this multi-picture deal with Marvel. He’s protecting his image, and will bend over backwards to keep things quiet!”
[From Enquirer, print edition, July 13, 2015]
If this story is true, it makes Chris look kinda douchey. We know he’s the paranoid type, and he freaks out about his image all the time. The dude constantly second guesses his actions, but why would he want to hide Lizzie Olsen? So he wouldn’t seem like he’s “womanizing,” which makes no sense at all. I guess we’re also supposed to believe that the Lily Collins romance was also a decoy. Plus the story about Lily causing a breakup with her partying must have been made up as well.
Why, I never….

Loki and Cap fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, fight!!
Goddamn it he can wear a Henly shirt…
Don’t leave Hawkeye out of the fight; she was supposedly hooking up with him too.
EWWWWWWWW
I refuse to believe that. Renner is gross.
That Henley has super powers: when he’s wearing it, I can’t remember that he might be a total d-bag.
Yes, probably why men wear them. Dammit!
It’s a magic Henley.
Tom and Chris duel… I can see it now, Tom challenges Chris to a duel at dawn with pistols. ‘Lady Elizabeth of Olsen is mine, you pesky buff-cheesball of Evans”
you all have it wrong. Tom just wore his Captain America costume from Thor 2 and was seen climbing in Lizzie’s window, tumble-rolling across her bedroom floor and using the shield to hide his weapon of mass destruction. Everyone just assumed it was Chris because of the costume…
Squirrel!!!! Pardon me a moment while I step away from the computer, I need to limber up in order to perform Dara’s Dance of Joy. Look everyone, it’s Squirrel!
Ok, I’m back. And your theory sounds spot on to me – weapon of mass destruction indeed. It also fits nicely with the Chris Evans-Betty White theory from D-Listed. Tom in costume could very well provide the diversion needed for Chris to slip away for some sexy time with Betty (that shameless hussy).
This is the THIRD rumor in as many months about Elizabeth Olsen HOOKING UP with Avengers co-stars and carrying on SECRET relationships. I think the rumors are coming from her people and I don’t understand why. Although the Hiddleston rumors came out just after her sisters made their weird appearance at the Met Gala and got into a message feud with John Stamos about a Full House reunion. What are her people trying to distract from now?
Why would the TH thing be a “total decoy”? That doesn’t even make sense. Evans has to be the one and only Marvel boy for Lizzie? She and Evans were together when ISTL was filming? Not even going to talk about Renner then, eh sourcey? LOL
Or maybe she’s having some fun after her engagement broke off and these guys are hot, close and easy. Just need to fix the leaks.
She was engaged to somebody else during the filming of ISTL. And why would she need a decoy at all? These rumors about her are just bizarre.
Yeah I can’t keep timelines straight. These are the kind of rumors that could start the “is there something else going on here?” speculation. Are her people putting this out there? Because that only makes her look bad. Not that having some fun is bad, but this isn’t the way to go about it.
I thought the US Weekly piece was suggesting a hook-up after the break-up of her engagement. Didn’t it say “she’s just having fun” or something? In any case that looked like her pr. I agree, what is the point of these stories it’s just giving her a bad rep not raising her profile (if that’s the plan)
@InvaderTek: timeline: dating Boyd Holbrook in 2012. Engaged to Boyd Holbrook in March 2014. Avengers filmed spring and summer 2014. ISTL filmed October-December 2014. Breakup of engagement to Holbrook January 2015. Sound work in London on ISTL with Rodney Crowell and Tom in February 2015. Rumors about Renner March 2015. Avengers PR April 2015. Rumors about Tom May 2015. Filming of CaptAmerica3 June 2015. Rumors about Chris July 2015.
The constant use of the term “hooking up” is not flattering to her. And referring to keeping things secret? Why? If she’s just dating around that’s normal and no need for secret sources to be whispering things to people. And the guys keep getting blamed for the leaks or keeping it secret but it has become a pattern of stories about her.
@Lilac, I’m going to be a wee bit snarky and point out we can’t know for sure exactly when the engagement ended, and January is just speculation based on when the gossip mags had sources to confirm it was over.
None of the articles I found said exactly when they broke up, just that they had. Lizzie was photographed out and about without her ring in January which started the questions about her relationship status. She and her fiancee hadn’t been photographed together for months (before she started work on ISTL) so there’s no way to know when they actually broke it off.
I’ll accept one rumor about her ‘hooking up’ with a costar, maybe even two, but three? And all using the same language? I’m giving major side-eye to any of them being true. If it is her PR is planting the stories, they need to work harder to earn their fee because I don’t see the point.
So breaking of engagement sometime between November 2014 and January 2015. They were together in November because he was seen with her wherever they were filming around Thanksgiving. But the question here isn’t really when that ended but why all these rumors about her and three co-stars from the same movie (Tom’s part from AOU was cut) are flying around one after the other.
I think the tabloids are just connecting her to Marvel stars because that sells. Didn’t some star say once they can even pick who the tabloids are trying to connect with her? So they just bacically just make up something harmless gossib if they think the couple sounds something that would intrest public.
Or the tabloids got a hint she had a thing with a Marvel star and now they are blindly guessing who.
The really nasty part of my gossip-mongering brain that I usually try to suppress thinks there is a bigger, juicier, potential scandal somewhere in Lizzie’s personal life and all these hooking-up stories are a misdirect to distract from something else her team really doesn’t want out there. I’ve no idea what that could be – she seems well-adjusted and down to earth to me, almost boring. I mean that in a good way – I’m tired of up and coming celebs doing outrageous stuff just to raise their profile.
@Dara: well to counter our own gossip mongering ways; you could very well be right that she’s a bit boring. It could be that her people think so too are trying to make her look desirable to a male audience, or just trying something to spice up her image period. I said something similar to what you did about her being sweet but dim on the thread about her and TH ( strictly speaking about her public image. She could be Marilyn Monroe-ing us for all we know). I think her team might be out of ideas about how to up her image. She’s not the type (to me anyway) who would become the face of an issue or anything like that. The story she told about meeting Taylor Swift was interesting. Kinda surprised TS didn’t jump on a Marvel girl with fashion industry ties joining her vintage cupcake club.
But back to gossip mongering:
It’s still interesting that they called TH a decoy though. A decoy FOR EVANS? Are they trying to say that they used the nice guy to cover for the “bad boy” Evans? Then what was Renner? Weird that there’s no mention of him anywhere. So the guys are, the Decoy, the ohgodwhy and the steamyflingwithabrodude? Those 2 things still stick in my craw a bit. Could just be a wacky source rambling on.
@Invader – if it’s her people trying to raise her profile she needs to find a new team that isn’t so lazy. All three of the hooking up stories are boiler-plate, insert-name-of-sexy-costar-here drivel. But I hear what you’re saying.
My evil side (which only appears when the temperature goes above 90 degrees and I break into a sweat just brushing my teeth) thinks that maybe the hooking up with an Avenger co-star rumor is true, but the co-star in question is supposedly happily married with children and thus the need for a diversion. My dark and twisted heart really, really wants it to be ScarJo just for the entertainment value alone.
p.s. I’m awarding you bonus point for ‘vintage cupcake club’. I giggle-snorted.
Maybe all the guys are decoys for her hooking up with ScarJo or Colbie Smulders.
Let’s see: “happily married with children” in alphabetical order: Paul Bettany, Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, Samuel L. Jackson, Mark Ruffalo, James Spader (not married but with someone for over a decade), Aaron Taylor-Johnson (who was her co-star in Godzilla)
I buy that she and Hiddles hooked up and that ended her engagement. I also buy that the Hiddles fling died its own natural death and she moved on to Evans this summer. Plenty of downtime there for it to be plausible.
I think the Renner rumors were a lame BS play on the part of his team to deflect against the gay rumors they thought would come from his divorce mess.
I liked the idea of her with Hiddles. Yet somehow am not surprised about Evans.
@Lilac: If it’s a lady: Cobie. I’m eh on SJ. She seems like she might do it for attention. If it’s a dude: Realistically I’d go for AT-J just because of the past association. Hems has had some vague anon-sourced/blind item type rumors of cheating but he’s not anywhere near the set (italy with Elsa). RDJ? Yawn. Sam Jackson? eh. Not feeling it. He seems to need some attitude to me. Fluffalo: Maybe. Quiet. Talented. Intellectual (compared to his peers at least). I could imagine a sort of affair with hushed whispers in corridors, yet an all consuming smoldering below the surface affair with them. Separated by his marriage and kids, The Years and guilt ridden over the whole thing,, of course. Spader? again, eh. no. Bettany? Another possibility. I would, is all I’m sayin’. And it appears that they might be doing the Vision/Switch love storyline so lots of kissy practicing. Picture it; London sometime, an out of the way bistro with lots of nooks and crannies to hide in, a lady laughing at a dry wit. No, that’s not her father….
Edit: that last paragraph was better written than all of EL James. Saying more about her than myself obviously.
Totally with Miss Melissa on this one. She and TH are off in small town LA together, playing husband and wife in a stormy relationship. The BH relationship maybe starting to look less exciting. Totally makes sense. May have lasted a bit after that, say into February when she was in London. But they haven’t been on the same continent in almost 5 months. Meanwhile there was Avengers promo and now shooting Civil War in Atlanta. So I can buy both of those stories.
I think it’s more to keep her name out there. Not sure she has much lined up after Captain America. There were rumors of a project with Chris Pine, but not sure when that’s happening.
I don’t think this is Olsen’s people… it just doesn’t make sense. Plus, as someone else pointed out- the Enquirer? She comes off as someone who is bouncing around between costars, and happily playing some fratboy’s “dirty little secret” when, arguably, it should be the other way around.
I could see them hooking up, totally. But the “backstory” is ridiculous- he’s worried about looking like a womanizer?? WHAT? HIs only other previous public relationships I can remember were Minka and the 2 weeks(ish?) of WTF that was poor L.Collins.
If this is supposedly some hot summer hook-up- call it what it is! Don’t make up some weird story where where Olsen comes out looking like an idiot and Evans like a douche
I know I’m way late to the party but I have a cooky theory myself. Everyone seems to agree that these rumors are very bad for her image and I refuse to believe any PR team on this earth would be THAT stupid to put them out there. At best you’re setting your client up to appear unprofessional and at worst for massive fan hate. So I think all this is actually coming from a rival. Some jealous starlet that didn’t get the Scarlet Witch part, or even maybe ScarJo herself.. She seemed cold towards Lizzie during promotion for Ultron and gave those passive-agressive comments about how she’s SO over being a sex symbol or whatever.
Who the heck cares about his arms? I’m too busy looking at everything else … the way that shirt hugs his chest and fits soooo neatly into his pants at his trim waist and how his those pants hug his legs juusst right. (Le Sigh) Chris is one well proportioned man. Ladies, this (the third picture down) is an example of sex on a stick. 🙂
I could objectify this guy all day long.
The way the chest tapers down to the waist. Yeah, a work of art.
DORITO. That is all.
That top photo makes him the Hottest Guy on Earth. Seriously, gentlemen, that is how it’s done.
I hope for Lizzie’s sake that ALL of these rumours are true and she’s hooking up with her hot co-stars left right and centre. Get it, girl. *round of applause*
Maybe she’s the one who doesn’t want people knowing she’s hooking up with Chunk Butt
“Anthony Mackie did his part by telling the world how Evans needs a lady to take care of him. ”
I call BS on Mackie’s claims. PLenty of smart ladies in Boston and everyone here witnessed my invitation (not once, but twice) to have a drink at regal Begal, ha!
I don’t think he is ready to be in a long-term relationship. He just likes the idea…
ps: Can CB cover Aussie actor Jai Courtney, please?!
I think Mackie was just shooting off his mouth, he does that, and has no clue what Evans or anyone else wants or needs in a relationship. There are people like that who constantly try to set others up. Look! You two are human. You’re both single – you’re perfect for each other!
And yes, there are plenty of smart ladies her in Boston, where he still spends a lot of time.
Let’s not blame Mackie completely… Neurotic Evans probably asked Mackie (who is married to a childhood friend) for advice… The problem is that Mackie made his opinion public. Let’s face it, Evans is NOT looking to settle down and he is NOT looking for a smart lady. Do Bostonian men like to self-sabotage their personal lives?!
Elizabeth Olsen isn’t some starlet — she’s a real actress. So, there’s nothing to be embarrassed about.
I hope everyone learned their lessons from the Jeter Herpes Tree and is doublebagging. It.
Amen
I feel like this is someones PR at work. It feels like Chris/Lily 2.0. I don’t see them together. I like Chris but Lizzie can do better. Anywho, im not mad at her though, go head lizzie!!
Actually I think this post put out there by his people to counter that Minka dating Penn rumors. And possibly to shut down the tea blogs bout him hooking up with Latinas in Atlanta.
Wait… Please, do tell more about the hooking up in Atlanta part…
Does Minka really matter anymore? He has no need to compete with her in the relationship department. It’s not like they just broke up. The Atlanta tea is fun to read, but should be taken with a huge grain of salt. A lot of people begged for tea, because they expected it, and what do you know? A swarm of anon posters came forward to the right blogs (who would post it), right on time with silly, but believable gossip about Chris’ sex life. I don’t think Chris would be mad about the stories though, haha.
Meh, at least she doesn’t go for way older dudes like her sisters.
This gave me a good giggle. I don’t see that happening. She’s not famewhorey enough for Cap’n Sexy.
There have been rumors about chris and Lizzie since they were photographed on set looking innonceny cozy and they’ve been spotted having dinner with other cast mates in Atlanta. I’m surprised it took this long for it to come out!
Honestly, I do wonder, does the Enquirer have a giant Wheel of Fortune-type spinner set, one with celeb names, the other with story type, and every week they just give each of them a spin and are like “Let’s see who we’ll write complete bollocks about this week?”
go Lizzie, first, Jeremy, then Tom and now Chris, tick em off, and compare notes and let us know, because I reckon Tom will be best one, by a long shot. :-p
she’s 26, why not, better than Jen and Hoult show, #rolls eyes
Wrong Post in the wrong spot! Sorry about that!
I cannot see these two hooking up. Like, my brain will not compute. If this is true, he really has a thing for those lower tier actresses.
He is hooking up with girls in Atlanta and Boston. He was just seen at a strip club in Boston. This guy is not boyfriend material… At all. He is beautiful, though. So incredibly handsome.
There aren’t many strip clubs in Boston.
He was seen at Centrefolds. That is the only one I know of in the city. There are fan pictures of him there.
That’s one of two. The other is right next door. He lives in the same neighborhood.
Cue the Lizzy is hooking up with Sebastian Stan rumor in 5-4-3-
As long as the triangle is then completed with a rumour that Sebastian is hooking up with Chris, I’m happy. STUCKY 4EVA
There is plenty of fan fiction for that one, I am sure. 🙂
Oo can’t believe we left him out! Poor Bucky. but yeah that actually might be the way to go. He’s nice, quiet, funny. Hasn’t made any bonehead statements.
I like that… start off with Renner (5 out of 10), go to Hiddles (10 out of 10), then to Evans (8 out of 10) and polish off the streak with Stan (10 out of 10). End on a high note, Lizzy!
I never thought I would say this about another woman but my god her team is painting her as a huge sleaze-ball who can’t keep her legs closed once she’s on set. This is the third man from the same film/franchise.
I doubt her team is putting this out.
I don’t know, they are pretty consistent. Always on set, always a costar from Avengers, always the term “hooking up”.
Chris is flirty and doesn’t seem very picky. I remember years ago when Lizzie was getting noticed for that movie MMMM that there was a rumor about her hooking up with Alexander Skarsgard at an Independent Spirit Awards after party. Maybe she likes hooking up with random hotties.
UGH! I move away from Atl RIGHT before Cap 3 starts!!
Well, I could see hooking up and having fun. If it’s on offer, safe, sane, and consensual, why not??
The two of them involved in some long term love relationships? MUCH harder to believe. I don’t think Evans is looking to settle down or be in a long term relationship, and quite frankly, I think Olsen is too smart to look for something long term with a guy who seems stuck in “fratboy” mode.
And OH MAN those pictures! He’s just an incredibly hot man… almost makes you forget he’s got Peter Pan syndrome.
LMAO you people really think her PR team would plant a story via Enquirer out of all the tabloids?
If they were hooking up, I wouldn’t be surprised. Facially, she’s totally Evans’ type. She’s got the same high, broad cheekbones as Jessica Biel, Minka Kelly, Scarlett Johansson (you KNOW they’ve hooked up a least once over the years), etc., etc.
Secret relationship complete with decoy? When pretty much nobody would care beyond ‘get it, gurl’? Who writes these things?
The question is will Chris Evans ever grow up enough to hold a real relationship?? He can’t seem to keep a girl interested in him for very long… That’s gotta say something about him.
I’d hit it especially in that second pic
Guys, we’re all wrong. Lizzie is the decoy. Chris is secretly still with Betty White. (Thanks to dlisted for the reminder)
They do make an adorable couple
Dude is pasty. NEXT!
So if we believe all the rumors, that is Renner, Evans and our Dragonfly King? That is a LOT of arm/hand porn to deal with. I’d give the girl a high five if I believed that all three were true, which I don’t. I think Renner is the odd man out. Not because of the gay rumors (I don’t care if he is or isn’t), but because they don’t seem like they’d fit together.
I am really mad if she is with Evans. This ruins all of my Loki/Scarlet Witch fan fiction, and now I will have to start over with Captain America. 😉
For real though, I kind of like Evans and Olsen together, if it is true. I could see it.
The only one I could believe is Hiddles. Her relationship with BH was probably on the rocks while filming ISTL, Tom’s charming as hell and the ladies adore him and who wouldn’t want a hot, steamy fling with the Dragonfly King?
Unless I have reason to think she is 180 degrees from her public persona, I couldn’t believe the rumors about the other two.
I don’t think TH and EO would have as much in common as CE and EO. But then again, we’re not talking long term are we?!
Hmmm I like it. He needs to grow up big time and she needs a little excitement in her life (she just seems boring lol). Also, he’s sex on legs hng
He comes off as such a frat boy.
To those who asked, Chris’s longest relationship was with Jessica biel and that was on and off for either 2 years or 5 depending on who you ask. He dated minka on and off for a year but both seemed miserable at the end. He also dated Lily for a month. He’s a single guy dating around and having fun
And yes I believe that Chris is probably having fun sleeping around in Atlanta, boston, la
Does anyone think he is a womanizer? He is far too earnest to be the womanising type!!
He’s a womanizer, yet still claims to be a hopeless romantic. He’s been linked to so many women since his break-up with Jessica Biel that I lost count. He does not seek to have a commitment to any of them. Last week he was seen at a Boston strip club (Centerfolds) during his day off. He ain’t no slick rick, he’s immature, thinks all is justifiable if alcohol is involved, he’s also balding and has mommy issues. I really doubt he could be Elizabeth’s type. At this point he may have an STD named after him in his honour. You can never make a player settle down forever. She deserves better.
No way. Elizabeth could do a million times better.
