The 'Thor' star detailed how a text chain involving the 'Avengers' costars quickly devolved into mockery over the 'Captain America' star's cover of 'People' magazine.

Being named "Sexiest Man Alive" like Chris Evans was last week may not exactly be relatable to most of us, but being mercilessly roasted by our best friends certainly is, and in that regard Chris Evans is just like the rest of us.

Evans' fellow Marvel star Chris Hemsworth told Jimmy Kimmel Monday that Evans' big announcement as People magazine's "Sexist Man Alive" for 2022 lit up the text chain that all of the stars of Avengers have together.


But it was not to congratulate the man who plays Captain America on his new superlative.

Rather, it was to dunk on him for his People cover pose, like any true friend would.

See the clip below.

For his big People moment, the magazine ran a cover photo of Evans leaning up against a wall, with his hands behind his back.

And according to Hemsworth, he and fellow Avengers stars Robert Downey Jr. and Jeremy Renner couldn't stop laughing about the photo of their friend.

Hemsworth told Kimmel:

"We have an Avengers text chain, and it very quickly was like, 'What are you doing with your hands back there?'"
"It was like, [Robert] Downey [Jr.] said he was being arrested, I said it was a beautiful mugshot, and Jeremy Renner said a series of things which we won't repeat. ... Filthy."

When your friend is named the hottest person on the planet, you gotta keep him humble somehow. Hemsworth should know, having been named "Sexiest Man Alive" himself in 2014.

Evans seemed to anticipate the dunks in his interview with People for the "Sexiest Man Alive" issue.

He joked to the magazine:

"Really this will just be a point of bullying. It's ripe for harassment."

On Twitter, fans were delighted by all the roasting.






Hemsworth also told Kimmel that despite the ribbing, he considers Evans' new title a "passing of the torch" and that he is proud of his friend. Aww.

Newsmax Host Epically Blasted For His Hypocrisy After Defending Trump's Profane Easter Tweet

Newsmax host Greg Kelly defended President Donald Trump's use of profanity in his Easter morning threat to Iran, prompting critics to resurface one of his own past tweets calling for a ban on use of the f-word.

Trump lashed out at Iran amid growing concerns about tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow passage at the entrance to the Persian Gulf that carries roughly 20% of the world’s oil supply. Recently, Iran has struck several vessels in the area and warned ships against entering the passage, effectively halting traffic through one of the world’s most crucial energy routes.

MAGA Politicians Called Out After Falling For AI-Generated Photo Of U.S. Airmen Rescue In Iran

At least two Republican politicians are facing criticism after they fell for a clearly A.I.-generated photo of the rescue of two U.S. airmen whose fighter jet went down in Iran over the weekend.

U.S. special forces rescued the second crew member of an F-15 fighter jet shot down over Iran, according to three U.S. officials cited by Axios. The crew member, a weapons systems officer, was wounded after ejecting from the aircraft Friday but was able to walk and evaded capture in the mountains for more than a day.
