Watch: Chris Evans Trends When He Teases Tats in a Tank-Top
READ TIME: 4 MIN.
The Evans brothers – Chris and Scott – did a joint interview last week to talk about living together during the pandemic, Chris's post- "Captain America" projects and their commitment to social justice causes. But it was those chest tats peeking through Chris's tank top that got the most attention.
"During an interview with ACE Universe's Angélique Roché on Tuesday, Chris Evans left his shirt unbuttoned, giving a rare glimpse of two chest tattoos peeking through under his white tank – and fans on social media can't get enough," People Magazine reported.
EDGE reported last October how Evans and his fellow Avengers each received matching tattoos to commemorate their Marvel experience. At the time, Page Six went even further and published a detailed list of Evans' seven tattoos. In the interview, the top of the large tattoo of an eagle on his chest can be seen, along with a portion of another featuring a quote by spiritual teacher Eckhart Tolle that reads: "When you lose touch with inner stillness, you lose touch with yourself. When you lose touch with yourself, you lose yourself in the world."
His fans responded on Twitter:
Cinema Blend reports that in the interview Evans confessed that he has yet to watch Marvel's hit series "WandaVision" (currently streaming on Disney+) and may or may not watch the new Disney+ series "The Falcon and the Winter Soldier," in which Sebastian Stan plays the Winter Soldier (aka Bucky Barnes who was Evans' best friend in the earlier films in the franchise) along with Anthony Mackie as the Falcon (aka Sam Wilson).
"Marvel's really moving into the streaming world pretty seamlessly and pretty dominantly. I've yet to see any WandaVision episodes, but every single day it's trending, you know what I mean? People are loving it and Kevin Feige is king," he said.

Even with the pandemic, Evans is in great demand. He's currently filming "The Gray Man," another Russo Brothers film, in which he stars alongside Ryan Gosling. In addition to that, he's got a few upcoming gigs, like voicing Buzz Lightyear in a new "Toy Story" spinoff titled Lightyear. He's even rumored to have been cast in a "Little Shop of Horrors" reboot, which has been delayed.
Roché also touched each brother's commitment to political and social causes, beginning with Scott, who explained his involvement with BLM's protests. "I, myself, am a member of a marginalized group. A group that has been fighting for equal rights, the LGBTQI+ community. We have been fighting for rights as well. So when I see any other group, whether it be because of race or sexuality or gender or anything, being victimized or being marginalized, it makes me want to say something because I know how hard the fight is personally from my own experiences. That I know without allies or without support, it is even harder. That is my driving force behind wanting to be vocal about it and to use my platform for whatever reason that I have for whatever I can."
Chris replied that he couldn't have said that better before discussing how he had gone off social media for a while before realizing the powerful tool it could be in promoting causes. In 2017 he founded the civic engagement website A Starting Point with his friend, actor/filmmaker Mark Kassen and technological entrepreneur Joe Kiani. "ASP's mission is to create a bipartisan channel of communication and connectivity between Americans and their elected officials with the goal of creating a more informed electorate," reads its description on its website.
He explained what prompted him to want to start the site. "I was watching the news and there was something I didn't understand, and I went to Google it. And right away, I was in the weeds. There was just this mountain of information to sift through. And I thought, 'What if there was a way that I could get not only concise answers to common questions but get the answers from the elected officials themselves?'"
