Chris Evans
Like many people in 2020, Chris Evans has come to realize he can āgo a very long time without human interaction,ā he jokes. The self-described āhomebody,ā 39, nevertheless had a busy schedule: He launched a bipartisan political engagement website, A Starting Point, and joined Instagram (where he quickly racked up more than 7 million followers). These days, the star is feeling hopeful about what lies ahead. āI try not to think too far into the future, because for me it can turn into worry, but Iād like a wife and kids,ā he admits. āI like the idea of a very simple existence with simple pleasures.ā
