Chris Evans Named People Magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive 2022
Everyone’s talking about it – the Captain America hero has been crowned as the “sexiest man alive” for 2022 by People Magazine. It follows in the footsteps of fellow Marvel stalwart Paul Rudd, who stole the title the year before.
How the Actor Feels About the Title
42‑year‑old Chris Evans, who’s still flying solo in love, admitted it feels like a “weird form of humble bragging.” Despite that, he’s eager to celebrate with the one person who means the most to him: his mother.
- “My mom will be so happy,” he told the magazine.
- “I’m proud of everything I do, but this is something she can really brag about.”
From TV to Super‑Hero Stardom
Chris’s journey to fame began with the early 2000s TV show Opposite Sex, and exploded into global recognition when he took on the role of Steve Rogers / Captain America in Marvel’s Avengers: Endgame (2019). Fans everywhere have kept his star shining brighter.
Beyond the Spotlight
Even with a patented Hollywood resume, Chris is looking to build a life outside the silver screen.
- Marriage – “That’s absolutely something I want.”
- Fatherhood – “I want it for my family and my friends.”
- Creative freedom – “I’ve got the flexibility to step away from the industry, yet still chase projects that satisfy my creative appetite.”
His Take on Boston
Born and raised in Boston, he doesn’t shy away from calling the city “sexiest.”
- “There’s a ton of history. The accent feels like home.”
- “I love the weather, seasons, and sports teams.”
- “Our universities? These damn‑sexy, top‑tier schools. Education is hot.”
Looking Forward
Even as the cape‑tastic hero is adjusting to the new “sexiest man alive” label, he plans to keep the honor alive as he ages. “When I’m old and saggy, I’ll look back fondly on this,” he chuckled, citing his gratitude for being part of the conversation.
He shared, “I’m lucky to be in the discussion in any capacity.”
