Chris Evans Modern Weekly Interview 2014 excerpt
MW: Can you define what is the ârealâ you?
CE: That depends on what kind of question Iâm facing. Take a personal feature interview for example, if the schedule allows for multiple days, I canât use 10 words to summarize âthe real meâ. During those exclusive interviews, I feel that the whole purpose is to be the sincere me, to reveal my feelings. You may not be able to reveal all the facets of a person in a short amount of time, but I think in those cases you are better able to express your personality. I try to be even more true to myself. Actually, Iâm a person who likes to be self-deprecating. So, sometimes people will think Iâm weird, especially when interviewing me because the actors theyâve interviewed previously really enjoy interviews, enjoy hearing flattering comments. I wonât hide the fact that I think thatâs really silly thinking. What are we doing? (Looks around) Right now I feel pretty silly. I have to talk and laugh, pretend like itâs nothing, which I have no problem with. We can still discuss substantial and serious topics, but you have to know how to be self-deprecating, to joke about yourself.
MW: Are you a very private person?
MW: When you are doing interviews, what is the ratio of the âreal youâ to the âinterview youâ?
CE: The ratio is okay, 90:10. When you are doing interviews, you have to be professionalâyou canât just say whatever comes to your mind without filters. But I donât feel like I have to lie, to say things that I donât believe in. Itâs just like filming a commercial or a movie, if you really like the product or work, accepting interviews is easier, because I donât have to pretend, I can speak the truth and also promote the product or work.
MW: Do you like interacting with fans?
CE: When I see things I do make an impact on kids, I feel really happy. But not all fans are innocent children. Unfortunately, sometimes people pretend to be fans to get close to you, when in reality they just want something from you.
MW: How much time do you have left for your personal life?
CE: It depends. If you ask superstars like Britney Spears, she will tell you, her private life left her a long time ago. She canât even leave her house. But with my reputation (celebrity status), I havenât reached that extreme.
