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.

Melania Just Held A Bizarre Press Conference To Debunk 'False Smears' Related To Jeffrey Epstein—And Everyone Had The Same Response

First Lady Melania Trump had everyone thinking the same thing after she held a bizarre press conference on Thursday to deny that she had anything but casual ties to Jeffrey Epstein, the late disgraced financier, pedophile, sexual abuser, and sex trafficker.

Mrs. Trump publicly denied any ties to convicted sex offenders Epstein and his procurer Ghislaine Maxwell, saying claims linking her to Epstein are “lies” meant to damage her reputation. She said she met her husband, President Donald Trump at a New York City party in 1998 and did not meet Epstein until 2000, contradicting a witness statement in the Epstein files that alleges Epstein introduced the couple.

Dem Rep. Sarah McBride Perfectly Shames Nancy Mace For Her Transphobic Response To McBride's Condemnation Of Trump

Delaware Democratic Representative Sarah McBride pushed back at South Carolina Republican Representative Nancy Mace after Mace responded with transphobia to McBride's criticism of President Donald Trump's genocidal threat to kill the "whole civilization" of Iran.

Trump has insisted that God supports his war on Iran and declared—before a provisional ceasefire was announced—that "a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again" ahead of a deadline to bomb Iran’s power plants and bridges that legal scholars and world leaders have said would constitute war crimes.

Comedian Explains How Millennials' Midlife Crises Are Different From Past Generations—And He's Spot On

Don't make promises you cannot keep, unless your goal is to hurt someone.

Millennials know that practically better than anyone. They were fed a long and impassioned series of advice, hyper-focused on the importance of getting a college degree in order to find a good job. They were also force-fed traditionalist ideals of getting married, having kids, and buying a nice house with the money they'd be making from that great job, of course.
