Hollywood star Chris Evans should thank his mother for taking up the popular role as Captain America after she urged him to reconsider turning down the Marvel blockbuster.
Evans passed on the superhero role ‘a few times’ and told popular TV host Jimmy Kimmel last year that he was ‘scared’ of being a part of a massive franchise, reports. It has come out that it was Evans’s mother Lisa, who convinced him to take up the career-making role.
Lisa told Esquire magazine that Evans feared the pressures of fame.
His biggest fear was losing his anonymity. 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’. (IANS)
