Chris Evans said that playing the role of Captain America was the best decision he's ever made

Hollywood actor Chris Evans has said the playing the role of Captain America in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is the best decision he has ever made. However, the actor also confessed that he was scared and having anxiety attacks when MCU offered him the role of Captain America. ## Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Evans revealed that initially, he turned down the role of Captain America despite the six-film deal and a higher salary. It was the time when his family and friends pushed him for the role telling him he was making his decision based on fear to which the actor also agreed. ## "And it really just kind of clicked and it really did start to make sense to me that way, so I said 'Yeah. I think that's why the whole first movie, my hair was on fire, you're so scared just like 'Oh my god, I can't believe I'm doing this and please don't backfire, please don't blow up in my face. And not only did it not, but it was the best decision I've ever made, and I really owe that to Kevin Feige for being persistent and helping me avoid making a giant mistake. To be honest, all the things that I was fearing never really came to fruition." ## Chris Evans also confirmed that one of the main reasons for him to take up the challenge was none other than Robert Downey Jr, his MCU frenemy Iron Man who comfort him about the Marvel Method. ## "I knew where they wanted to go, that's part of the initial deal, not just for Captain America but for Avengers movies and that was daunting. And just hearing him kind of give you that little nudge of encouragement, it just made me feel a little bit more like I was part of the gang and not so intimidated".## "I guess it was a double-edged sword, on the one hand, it makes you feel very welcome but on the other hand, you just think 'Oh man, I gotta stand next to this guy? He's crushing this role. I don't want to be the weak link here.' But it was a very nice comforting thing to hear that he was in my corner," Evans said. ## FYI, as of last year's Avengers: Endgame, both Captain America and Iron Man bid adieu to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) movies and will not appear in any future project of MCU.

Johnny Depp gets nostalgic remembering his passion for the painting

Johnny Depp is known for his iconic act of an eccentric pirate Captain Jack Sparrow in one of the most successful film series across the globe 'Pirates of the Caribbean' which started in 2003. The series has already completed 5 parts of it with the last part released in 2017.## Apart from being a great actor, Depp is often seen doing some other activities such as playing guitar and painting. One such painting which he started in the year of the second part of the Pirates of the Caribbean, 'Dead Man's Chest' in 2006, has made Depp nostalgic remembering about the painting. ## Remembering about that painting, the 56-year old actor couldn't stop himself writing about his painting passion which would give him pure, intense focus and devotion to for months on end. ## Sharing the painting from 2006 on I, he wrote, "It’s odd, the things that we once gave such pure, intense focus and devotion to for months on end. Then suddenly the wind shifts and off we go on a new tack. And for far too long, these earlier interests or passions sadly fall by the wayside and recede into the vast recesses of some hoarder’s crawlspace in the brain cloaked in heaps of the other things that my skull had no room for…until recently". ## "I found this painting, which I had started in 2006 … for 14 years I’d never touched the painting – the occasional glance, at best. Yet it somehow always lingered in my mind, this piece of unfinished business. Even while we are forced to live in the immediate, some strange species of the interrupted passion that has been invested in an object we once focused on awaits our return from far away. I will keep you apprised of the progress! All Love, JD," he concluded. ## View this post on Instagram It’s odd, the things that we once gave such pure, intense focus and devotion to for months on end.
