He went on to say that everybody’s brain is noisy but added that it is what the brain does -- which is to bring thoughts. 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''. He mentioned that he is not the character that he is playing and yet a youngster respects him for the character that he essays as an actor.
The Avengers star disclosed that he grew up watching Star Wars. Hence, he said he understands that there were certain characters in the movie that meant a lot. But he agrees that the times have changed now. He stated that when he was a kid, celebrities were only accessible through the characters they played. But things are quite different now.
Chris Evans told Marvel’s Avengers co-star about how social media has allowed actors to reach out to their fans. He also stated that despite it being ''a tight rope to walk on'', he feels that it is nice to be able to offer a little more of themselves to their fans. He was heard saying that he respects the character of Captain America and that he tried to create a nexus between the work he does and the impact it has on young minds.
