December Daily: Chris Evans

[resonant]

anitac588 -- Chris Evans.

Very timely, since I went to see "Knives Out" yesterday! He was obviously having the time of his life getting to play an asshole for a change; his character wouldn't have been implausible as a Mirror Episode Captain America. He had layers, but all of them were bad.

Chris Evans' looks are not at all my usual kind of thing; I like dark hair and glasses and an air of scholarly abstraction. But if I had to get, like, platonically snowed in at an airport with the actor of my choice (not the character, the actor), he'd be high on the list, because he seems like a sweet guy who would make an effort to have a real conversation.

LOL; glad the Q&A coincided with the movies visit, and you got additional study material, :). I've read so much about this movie (most of it unspoilery)that I am really curious now. I think I'll go see it, if I have the chance.
Chris Evans's looks - while he can walk and smirk and look broody very, very, very well - are not exactly my type either. I share the sentiment about meeting him under the above described circumstances (otherwise I prefer not meeting any actors, at all). I follow him on Twitter, and he went from "I tweet once every six months, with heavy impact" to "my now regular tweets are on point, just the right amount of engaging and endearing". Also, he posts about his dog, and that makes me happy quite easily.

Thanks for playing. :)

Aww, I'm glad! I try not to look at the Twitters of people I admire, because I want to continue to admire them.

[anitac588]

You have a wise approach to Twitter, :)!

I really wanted to see that in the theaters, but I think I've missed my window.

It's still playing in the theaters here -- you might have one more week.

Chris Evans really isn't my type either, but he really did it for me in Knives Out.

For me it wasn't so much that the character was for me, it was that he was obviously having so much fun.

[marginaliana]

Yes! I could really just watch him going "eat shit!" all day, tbqh.

He really looked like he was having fun with that gig.

One more reason why I plan on re-watching Knives Out at the cinema.
