Actor Chris Evans has been named People Magazine's "sexiest man alive" for 2022. Last year, the title was given to his Marvel co-star Paul Rudd. "My mom will be so happy," Chris told People in an interview reacting to the news. "She's proud of everything I do but this is something she can really brag about," he added.
Evans, 41, is most popularly known across the world for his portrayal of Captain America in the Marvel movies. He was labeled America's Ass in the Marvel movie Avengers: Endgame in 2019. He began his career with roles in television, such as in 'Opposite Sex' in 2000.

Talking about his career, Evans said, "Some things you want just for you, or just for my family and my friends. The most enjoyable aspect of my career right now is feeling secure enough to take my foot off the gas. I feel like I have a bit more freedom to take time away from the industry and still find projects that will satisfy my creative appetite when I return."
Chris said that he is still getting accustomed to people finding him attractive. The actor told People he will look back fondly on the honor when he becomes "old and saggy."
