ANN/The Straits Times – American actor Chris Evans proudly displayed his wedding band, officially announcing his marriage to Portuguese actress Alba Baptista.
In his own words, he exclaimed, “I got married, and it was a fantastic experience.” The Captain America star, aged 42, and Baptista, aged 26, celebrated their union with two exquisite ceremonies, one in Portugal and the other in a private Massachusetts residence in the United States (US). However, planning the weddings was stressful, said Evans.
“For those of you who are married, you know it takes a lot out of you.”
He added, “But now that we’re through that, we’ve just been enjoying life, gearing up for autumn, my favourite season. Now, we’re just relaxing, enjoying life and reflecting.”
Evans, who tied the knot in September, was one of the featured guests at NYCC, alongside actors such as Ewan McGregor, Zachary Levi, Tom Hiddleston and Susan Sarandon.
The Knives Out (2019) star also spoke about his desire to return to Broadway.
“I’d love to try and find something next year,” he said, adding that he started acting in high school theatre by doing a lot of Shakespeare.
His last Broadway performance was as an overbearing cop in the 2018 revival of the Kenneth Lonergan play called Lobby Hero.
Evans added it was challenging to pick the right project.
“It is tough because you may find something that you like, but a show usually runs three, four or five months.
“So it has got to be something that you don’t just love, but something that you are ready to explore from different angles every single night for a very long time.”
While he loves theatre, musicals are out of the question for him.
“To get up there and just do it every day. Eight times a week. I don’t have the pipes. I wish I did,” he said.
