Chris Evans is ‘such a sap’ & he prefers playing damaged romantic heroes

wenn22826848

You guys are in for a very special treat today. You’re getting my coverage of Chris Evans instead of Bedhead’s (Bedhead had to go to the doctor!). Bedhead, as we know, is a big fan of Chris Evans, although I think she’s more of a “just look at him and don’t pay attention to his words” kind of fan. The problem with that is that I just don’t find him all that hot. That butt GIF does nothing for me except remind me that he’s got a Chunk-Butt. Plus, he looks sort of booze-bloated in these photos. Right?

Anyway, these are some photos of Chris’s big LA premiere for his directorial debut, Before We Go. Chris and Alice Eve walked the red carpet together for a time, but then they split and posed for photos solo. For the life of me, I cannot find an ID on her dress. It’s a pretty color-block dress, although I think she could have gone for a lighter color. Before We Go is supposed to be a light rom-com type of film, so I don’t get why everything about the premiere seemed so dark and serious.

Meanwhile, Chunk-Butt sat down with USA Today to chat about why he chose a romantic-comedy for his directorial debut. USA Today notes that Chris is “single” but they don’t quote him saying that. Some highlights:

He loves love stories: “I’m such a sap. I’m out there throwing that shield and knocking people out at least a few times every couple of years, so when I have some down time, that’s not exactly what I’m looking to keep doing. Captain America, this is not a guy who knows what love feels like… he wants it, he thinks about it, he knows there’s something missing, but it’s not that he’s ever tasted it.”

He likes that his character believes in love: “Certain men have never felt love and they’re looking for it and that’s part of their pain and suffering. I like the guys who are struggling because they know a good thing and it slipped through their fingers. There’s a sadness to that. As opposed to playing this brooding guy because he never formed that bond, you have the damaged guy because he knows what he could have.”

[From USA Today]

Okay, I’ll admit it, Chunk-Butt sort of got me. It is better to see a portrait of a sensitive man who is openly searching for love rather than a brooding dude who is too broody and dark to experience those feelings. #BoyFeelings #Saps4Life #ChunkButt #PrayForBedhead

    Yes, pain and suffering and… mmm… um, what were we talking about?

    Never mind. Just get into my bed, Cap.

  2. Nina says:

    Damn, look at those eyes, how baked did he get before the premiere?

    If his social anxiety is causing him to get stoned/drunk before every public event he attends, maybe he should get some help.

  3. Tiffany27 says:

    There’s always a kind of bloat to his face. It’s weird.

  4. CidySmiley says:

    I keep wondering what’s like… wrong with him. On paper he seems so good! But he’s perpetually single! I feel like in person he’s so overwhelmingly dude-bro, like one of those guys women can never tell if they like them or not? He also definitely seems like one of those guys who wants an everything rom-com woman. Like someone who wears dresses and high heels while simultaneously wearing jeans and sneakers, who likes football but leaves the guys alone, who can cook and doesn’t talk to much. I don’t know. My husband and I were just talking about this lol.

    • Lucy says:

      You’re right. He seems so awesome, but can’t seem to hold a girlfriend. Red flags all over the place. I still would, though.

    • Lori says:

      My money is on pillow cryer.

    • knower says:

      Or, he’s gay.

    • Blueberrypie says:

      I think majority of rumors have him as an extreme player- casual sex with as many girls as he can land. But who knows- rumors are rumors.

      I could see him holding out for the stereotypical rom-com girl of his dreams… who probably doesn’t exist, tbh.

    • pato says:

      My brother is almost 36 and he just found the woman he wants to be with (10 months dating and she is already pregnant, ok, let´s not go there). And I am almost 40 and never had a serious relationship and don´t want to, maybe Chris doesn´t want to either and he has to pretend he does for the public. You never know.

    I really like the style of her dress, especially the fact it has long sleeves (how often do you see a dress with sleeves nowadays? ) but I’m not sure about the purple/brown combination.

  6. CidySmiley says:

    Also, his face is so bloated during these premiers and his eyes… I’ve always wondered If perhaps he took some anxiety meds and maybe threw back a few shots. I had a friend who did this and always looked this way.

  7. RG says:

    Hahahaha! ChunkButt is a hysterical name! That’s all I have.

  8. InvaderTak says:

    Not bad. The quotes and the pics. Eve’s dress needs to be a different color on top, the brown is distracting to me.
    #prayforbedhead
    Edit: It matches his tie. Did they do that on purpose? Also minor kuddos for dressing the same “level” as Eve. Glad he went with a 3 piece and not jeans and a leather jacket.

  9. Mia4S says:

    Oh god, his movie has 0% positive on Rotten Tomatoes. Zero. Damn. The neurosis will be through the roof!

    He really does nothing for me. He plays Captain America well but I can’t say I’ll care much when they do the inevitable recast. Same for Thor. New Starlord though? Never!

    • embertine says:

      They won’t need to. Steve Rogers dies at the end of Civil War. Contract fulfilled.

      • CG says:

        I’m really unhappy about Steve Rogers dying, BTW! Sebastian Stan does nothing for me. And I admit I don’t read the comic books so I only know the characters from the movies, but Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier does nothing for me as a character, either! I’m really pi$$ed about it!

      • embertine says:

        I like both of them (particularly if they go the way that Captain America: White looks like it might, hehe) but I agree that it would be pretty sad if Cap dies and Bucky takes up the mantle. Evans wasn’t really on my radar until he got cast as Cap, but I really do think he is excellent in this role and has made what could be a stuffy, boring character into one of the most genuinely likeable (and tragic) characters in the MCU.

        Of course, there’s no rule that they have to follow one particular universe from the comics. Sam Wilson is currently Cap, and I am A-OK with that.

    Thank you for the gif 😍😍😍😁😁😁 its been bookmarked

  11. Esteph says:

    So glad I did not click on the link, my boss would have had a fit!

  12. Monica says:

    His face looks a bit bloated here. He did another interview with MTV too where he talked about Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan and I think it’s cute how he calls Sebastian Seb.

  13. Amy says:

    Praying! #PrayforBedhead

  14. JoanEleanor says:

    Saw the trailer for this movie and I have to say it looks interesting. Might check it out if it gets here where I live

    • Kyle Randall says:

      I watched the movie last night and really liked it. It was not a comedy though. At all. It was pretty much a Before Sunrise type of movie for thirty-somethings.

  15. Smurphy says:

    Don’t see the bloat to be honest but the eyes look a little…tired lol.
