Chris Evans is a
serious actor but that doesn’t mean he wants you to
stop objectifying him.
After working a
whipped-cream bikini in the 2001 spoof Not Another Teen
Movie, Chris Evans fried phone lines in
Cellular and melted hearts as The Human Torch
in the Fantastic Four films. Next seen as a
telekinetic troublemaker in February’s sci-fi
thriller Push, the 27-year-old revisits his steamiest
photo shoot and outs his even hotter gay brother.
This may come as quite a shock, but gay men enjoy you.
I was well aware of that. I remember my mother saying,
“Chris, do you know you’re #2 on some
gay list [AfterElton.com’s Hot 100]. Brad Pitt is
#12!” I was like, “What?!” I
couldn’t believe it.
That was 2007. I hate to break bad news, but you
dropped to #8 in ’08.
Aww, that’s outrageous! Who took my spot?
I forget, but Jake Gyllenhaal was #1 for both years.
What? Jake? Unacceptable. [Laughs]
It couldn’t hurt to play a gay role next.
I really wanted to be a part of Milk, but
I lost out to James Franco. I guess if you’ve
got to lose, he’s the guy to lose to. I did a
movie called Fierce People where I played a
sociopath who wasn’t gay, but he does rape a teenage
boy. You come to find out he didn’t do it for sexual
reasons; he just did it because he could. He really
was a sick character.
I’ve actually got an idea for a gay musical
sequel to Cellular called Blackberry
Storm. You in?
Absolutely. Sounds like a nailbiter.
I hear there might also be a queer subtext in Push.
Yes, those with powers try to keep it under
wraps. They’re being hunted by the government,
so everyone’s trying to lay low. Now I understand the
gay man’s struggle. [Laughs]
