Scott Evans held the shield of Captain America while defending his brother Chris Evans from online hatred that sparked when the Marvel star’s romancing with Alba Baptista came to light. Evans and Baptista tied the knot on 9 September but his brother’s defense of the relationship is equally gaining wide praise.
Evidently, paparazzi and fans have always been obsessed with A-lister stars often invading their personal space. Evans has built a strong resume after starring as MCU’s beloved character and ever-charming Captain America, the actor also starred in several remarkable projects that have gained him global fandom but immense popularity comes with a cost.
Scott Evans Defended the MCU Star
Chris Evans has been aware of the cost of immense popularity and perhaps that is the reason he kept his relationship with Alba Baptista discrete for quite a while. Evans, 42, and Bapista, 26 have an age gap of nearly two decades, and fans took it to criticize the actor online. In their defense Evans’ brother, Scott Evans lashed back at the haters online while appearing on Nick Viall’s podcast The Viall Files. “It’s tough, people can ruin things pretty quickly,” Scott told Viall.
“The way people can be, it can make it pretty hard to date someone like that because you think like, ‘Oh I’m just dating a person, he’s a guy’, and then all of a sudden it’s article after article after post after post. Everybody is just being like you are a piece of c*** to anybody he’s tried to date and just destroying them. You can only take that for so long and it makes relationships kind of hard for him.”
Scott further iterated on the hard-earned fame of his brother. “It’s been a slow burn over the years it’s not like he catapulted into fame,” he added. Further the evolution of social media, especially Twitter, according to Scott can be a very dark place. Scott has given his blessings to the couple and supported the relationship.
