Chris Evans shoots ‘Sexiest Man Alive’ cover spread in Atlanta
It’s official – Chris Evans has been announced as PEOPLE’s Sexiest Man Alive.
The actor recently made his way to an Atlanta farmhouse to shoot his spread for the magazine. Evans was also interviewed by People magazine and talked about how awkward his new title actually felt. “This whole thing is tough to be interviewed about,” Evans laughed. “It feels like a weird form of humble bragging.”

Evans is arguably best known for his role as the superhero Captain America in Marvel’s multi-billion-dollar “Avengers” franchise, but he’s been in the business for 22 years and is still making waves in the industry. This year alone, he starred in Pixar’s “Lightyear,” Netflix’s “Gray Man,” and filmed three new movies, including 2023′s “Ghosted” for AppleTV+ (which he is also producing), and he still co-runs “A Starting Point,” the civic engagement platform he launched in 2020.

While it sounds like he’s still a man on the move, Evans did admit to making sure he prioritized having a healthy work-life balance, including trying to balance quality time at home and with his family in his hometown of Boston. “When it comes to seeking out the people I play, it’s more of an issue of where the movie shoots,” Evans said. “I’m too old to be living out of a suitcase for six months, and I’ve settled into a nicer phase where I’m just happy being at home .… The most enjoyable aspect of my career right now is feeling secure enough to take my foot off the gas. I feel like I have a bit more freedom to take time away from the industry and still find projects that will satisfy my creative appetite when I return.”

Even though Evans might be shy about being named PEOPLE’s “Sexiest Man Alive,” there’s one person who wasn’t shocked by the news at all. “I am not surprised at all,” Evans’ mom told PEOPLE magazine. “Our family will be beside themselves.”
