MARVEL STAR CHRIS EVANS SAYS HE'S 'ALWAYS LOOKING FOR A WAY OUT' OF ACTING.

“My suffering would be my own,” Evans declared, adding that he felt his rise to superstardom would only fuel his anxiety and feared that taking on the coveted role would change the public’s perception of him on social media – as Evans was pondering making the leap “during the proliferation of the internet age where all of a sudden you can read people’s reactions online.”.

During his time on the audio show, Evans said he initially began feeling panic attacks a decade ago while filming the independent project “Puncture,” in 2010.

But Marvel remained steadfast on landing the rising star and sweetened the pot by offering Evans the role outright – all he had to do was say yes

“It was the best decision I’ve ever made,” says Evans, who also played Johnny Storm, the Human Torch, in the Marvel draw “Fantastic Four” in 2005 and its 2007 sequel, “Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer.”
