Chris Evans has revealed he repeatedly turned down opportunities to play Marvel superhero Captain America, before eventually accepting the role.
The actor has starred as Captain America since 2011, but in a recent interview he explained he had rejected the role numerous times because he was suffering from anxiety.
Marvel later offered him the part outright, with no need to test or audition, and Evans finally took the role.
Evans told The Hollywood Reporter’s Awards Chatter podcast that he started feeling anxious as his career progressed.
