A very happy 37th birthday today to one of Hollywood's true good guys, Chris Evans. In addition to making the perfect superhero onscreen, he's a progressive feminist and all around role model offscreen. His only sin that we can recall is that one time he threatened to retire from acting when his run as Captain America ends (in 2019 *gulp*). But his recent stint on Broadway in Lobby Hero suggests to us that he might not give up on that particular craft so quickly.
He's wonderful and also, obviously, an all-time looker. Much balm for sore eyes after the jump...

Classic -- Even if his management wasn't pleased at the time!
P.S. In a weird side-note Chris Evans actually shares a birthday with multiple other Marvel or superhero actors. Well perhaps that's not so odd since everyone is in superhero movies these days. Today is also the birthday of: Aaron Taylor-Johnson (Quicksilver in Avengers: Age of Ultron), Stellan Skarsgård (Erik Selvig in the Thor movies), Kat Dennings (Darcy Lewis in the Thor movies), Kodi Smit-McPhee (Nightcrawler in the X-Men movies), ...and Paul Lynde. What? Shut up. He was Super-Gay back in the day.
P.P.S. Hug your nearest "Chris" today in Chris Evans' honor!
