Chris Evans on ‘Red One,’ Holiday Traditions, and His New Look
Chris Evans is back in the spotlight with his latest film, ‘Red One,’ an action-comedy that reimagines classic Christmas mythology. In this holiday-themed movie, Evans stars alongside Dwayne Johnson, with the duo embarking on a globe-trotting mission to save Christmas after Santa Claus is kidnapped. The film, directed by Jake Kasdan, also features Lucy Liu, Kiernan Shipka, Bonnie Hunt, Nick Kroll, and J.K. Simmons[3][4].
Evans, known for his clean-cut image, has unveiled a striking new appearance while promoting ‘Red One’ in London. He surprised fans with longer, dark hair reaching his ears, a full beard, and round glasses, making him nearly unrecognizable. He attended the photo call at Potters Field Park alongside co-stars Dwayne Johnson and Lucy Liu[4][5].
In an interview, Evans reflected on his post-Avengers life and the importance of simple, special moments. He mentioned that life boils down to what is simple and amazing, such as a good movie, a stunning sunset, or his dog wagging hard. Evans also shared his fond memories of childhood holidays, including writing letters to Santa and watching Christmas movies with his siblings[3].
Despite his current film choices being criticized, with some suggesting he is squandering his movie stardom with films like ‘Red One,’ Evans remains optimistic about his future projects. He has recently worked with ‘Past Lives’ director Celine Song on a romcom and is set to begin filming an experimental thriller called ‘Sacrifice’ with Anya Taylor-Joy and John Malkovich[2].
Evans, who is married to actress Alba Baptista, emphasized the importance of balance in his life. He credits clean eating and daily workouts for his health and suggests self-motivation and social activities, like playing sports with friends, as key to maintaining a healthy lifestyle[3].
