Chris Evans Previously Opened Up About Looking to His Mother For Advice
During a 2020 interview with Esquire, Chris Evans and his mother, Lisa Capuano, discussed how the actor once admitted that his “biggest fear was losing his anonymity” by taking on the famous Captain America role.
“He said, ‘I have a career now where I can do work I really like. I can walk my dog. Nobody bothers me. Nobody wants to talk to me. I can go wherever I want. And the idea of losing that is terrifying to me,'” Capuano quoted.
Capuano also revealed what she would tell her famous son when he called and asked for her advice. “[I said], ‘Look, you want to do acting work for the rest of your life? If you do this part, you will have opportunity. You’ll never have to worry about paying the rent. If you take the part, you just have to decide it’s not going to affect my life negatively – it will enable it.'”
