On the cover: Chris Evans for GQ


Chris Evans looks oh so pretty on the July 2011 cover of GQ.

The 30-year-old actor tells the mag that he declined the title role in this summer's Captain America many times before eventually taking it on.

"I said no a bunch, and every time I said no, I woke up the next morning so happy and content. I kept saying no; they kept coming back. And eventually I was like, 'You know what? This is your biggest fear—this is exactly what you have to do,'" he says. "But we'll see. I could be singing a different tune in six months. It's easy to say all this pretentious shit now."

As if Chris' handsome good looks weren't enough, this choice quote from his mother should make you swoon:

"At 30 he still knows all the words to songs from The Little Mermaid," she tells the mag.

Adorbs!

The whole cover story actually serves as one big swoon-fest for its author, who Mr. Evans made quite the impression on. Check it out here.
