Chris Evans can be heard saying, “the problem is, I think, in most of our lives the brutal suffering is following that brain noise, listening to that brain noise and actually identify with it as if it’s who you are, that’s just the noise brain makes. More often than not, it probably doesn’t have much to say that’s going to help you.”
Previously, while talking to Ant-Man actor Paul Rudd, Evans revealed that he does freak out a little bit but revealed a personal experience from his childhood to explain his stance. Chris Evans said he believes that it is a great thing that a kid looks up to him. But he also added that it is ''quite strange and undeserving because he is just playing a character''.
