In fact, when it came to the star-studded movies, he shined out among them all, headlining the team towards some greater good. For years fans have loved him playing the righteous Captain America who always put his nation first even in the bleakest moments.

Having left that character, he now seeks to carve out an alternative path for himself in the entertainment industry. It seems the 42-year-old superstar is up for supporting roles after getting its first taste in Netflix’s Knives Out.

Chris Evans has graced the cover of GQ Magazine for the October 2023 issue. For the same, the actor sat down with the outlet to talk about his life and turning points in his career. During the conversation, he opened up about the differences he had noticed between him and his peers during his longstanding career.

The Boston native praised his costar that the man had the leading aura, which often left people stunned. According to him, the acting profession has two different sides, first the stage and then the things that are behind it. But unlike the Iron Man actor, Evans felt he does not have that kind of “magnetic” personality and has always struggled with doing stuff. So he would not try to fit in the box and would grab any opportunity that comes after his superhero era.

In fact, in the photo shoot of this magazine, he gave major bad-guy vibes.
