Chris Evans has become one of Marvelâs biggest heroes after first appearing as Captain America in 2011. Before his near 10-year run as Captain America, he was in many movies and television shows. Evans was born on June 13, 1981 in Boston, Massachusetts to parents Lisa and G. Robert Evans III.
The very first role Evans had was in 1997, in an educational video called âBiodiversity: Wild About Life.â In 2000, he was in the television show âOpposite Sexâ with Milo Ventimiglia. He was also in âThe Newcomers,â âBoston Publicâ and âNot Another Teen Movie.â In 2005, he entered his first superhero role as Johnny Storm in âFantastic Four.â He reprised the role in âFantastic 4: Rise of the Silver Surferâ in 2007. He has also been in âThe Perfect Score,â âLondon,â âSunshineâ and âGifted.â
Evans first appeared as Captain America in "Captain America: The First Avenger" in 2011. The next year, the first âAvengersâ movie came out, where he worked alongside Robert Downey Jr, Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo and Scarlett Johansson. He continued to play Captain America for nearly 10 years of his career. He had two additional feature films, âCaptain America: The Winter Soliderâ in 2014 and âCaptain America: Civil War in 2016.â He also acted with the rest of the âAvengersâ cast in three additional movies. âAvengers: Age of Ultronâ came out in 2015 and âAvengers: Infinity Warâ came out in 2018. The last time he played Captain America was in âAvengers: Endgameâ which came out in 2019. Much of Evans net worth came from these Marvel movies.
After his run as Captain America, he went on to star in movies including âKnives Outâ and âFree Guy.â He is also the voice of Buzz Lightyear in the new movie "Lightyear," which came out in June of 2022.
Evans has had a long dating history starting with his first public relationship with Jessica Biel. The two started dating in 2001 until 2006. Since then, he has been linked with many others including Christina Ricci, Dianna Agron, Minka Kelly, Sandra Bullock and Lily Collins. He dated Jenny Slate in 2016 after they met on the set of âGifted,â but the two called it quits the next year. Even though Evans has been linked to celebrities since Jenny Slate, he has been a lot more private with his dating life.
