For the July issue of GQ, actor Chris Evans took his interviewer, Edith Zimmerman, out for a wild night of drinking.
Despite his publicists worries and pleas (“Please don’t drink too much, please just don’t drink too much — you’re gonna take this person out, and they’re going to ruin you,” she begged Evans) Evans wasn’t the one crawling out the window and little memory of the night, it was Zimmerman.
The story is pretty hilarious and does give the interview the sound of a crush who gets to ask questions to her favorite movie star, (she says he was flirty and didn’t feel “insincere,”) but who can blame her? Read her hilarious tale here.
So what did Captain America: The First Avenger have to say? Well, just that he turned down the role over and over before decided to take on what scares him:
“I said no a bunch, and every time I said no, I woke up the next morning so happy and content,” he reveals. “I kept saying no; they kept coming back. And eventually I was like, ‘You know what? This is your biggest fear — this is exactly what you have to do.’”
“But we’ll see. I could be singing a different tune in six months. It’s easy to say all this pretentious sh*t now.” He grinned and made a jerk-off gesture. “The problem is, if the movie’s bad, that’s one set of problems. If the movie’s great, here come the sequels, here come the f***in’…” he said, catching himself before complaining… [He doesn't want to sound ungrateful.]
Evans and his superhero charm will be on the big screen when Captain America hits July 22nd.
