00:00 Fans of actor Chris Evans have been eagerly awaiting his return to the silver screen.
00:05 And now, the Hollywood star has finally broken his silence on why he's been absent from acting
00:11 this year. In an interview with Leading magazine, Evans provided insights into his feelings about
00:17 acting and his professional aspirations. "Sometimes I wonder if I'm lacking some sort of
00:23 like, I think I'm a very driven person. I have a lot of energy. I wake up early. I get a lot
00:30 done in a day. But it's not always focused on acting. Sometimes reading a script is the last
00:36 thing I want to do," shared Evans, shedding light on his recent career choices. While Evans expressed
00:43 his love for acting, he made it clear that it's not something he couldn't live without. He admitted,
00:49 "But it's not something that I couldn't live without." The actor also addressed recent comments
00:55 made by filmmaker Quentin Tarantino, who had downplayed the status in the Marvel Cinematic
01:01 Universe, stating, "Part of the marvelization of Hollywood is you have all these actors who have
01:07 become famous playing these characters. But they are not movie stars, right? Captain America is
01:13 a star or Thor is a star." Evans responded to Tarantino's remark, acknowledging the validity,
01:20 saying, "I was like, 'You know, he's right. The character is the star. You're there, but you don't
01:25 feel the burden of it.'" During the candidate interview, Evans hinted at the possibility of
01:31 returning to the Marvel Universe, but he made it clear that such a return wouldn't be happening
01:36 anytime soon. Instead, he expressed his desire to explore other interests and perhaps act less
01:43 in the future. "Ultimately, I really hope to just maybe act a little bit less in my life. I have a
01:49 lot of other interests. Look, by no means have I climbed any sort of a mountain in this field. I
01:56 have no Oscars, and I am not lumped with other names that are at the top of the mountain in any
02:03 way. But I also feel very satisfied," concluded Evans.
