Interview with Chris Evans
Star of the new sci-fi thriller "The First Avenger" Chris Evans in an interview with the resource Popsugar talked about how to build muscle in order to play the classic hero Captain America from the universe Marvel.
- Why have you rejected the role at first?
There were two reasons why I was not in a hurry to give my consent to participate in the project. The first was the agreement under which I was supposed to star in nine films (later this number had decreased to 6). What if suddenly my desire to play goes away, if I want to write or make movies or simply don’t want to work - I'll go to the mountains, get married, give a birth to children and start to live a normal life? I will not have that right! And I think that I was not 100% sure that my ultimate goal was to turn into mega-star of the cinema. The second reason for a change of my lifestyle. I can still get to play with the ball, I can go to the supermarket and lead normal lives. There is a difference between popular and very popular and extremely popular.
- Why did you finally said "yes"?
I did not agree, because the project scarecrows me. I am confident that we can not make decisions based on fear. I think it's a big mistake, and I think that people are more sorry about what did not, and not about in that venture. I started thinking, discussed the issue with family and friends. I have very good friends who told me: "Look, Chris, if you're afraid of something, then you must throw yourself into the very epicenter, and see what may be. No obstacles in life will not stand under such pressure." And I did a 180 degree turn. Surprisingly, this is exactly what I wanted to do. "
- Was it fun to shoot the film?
So, guys, let's be realistic: Do not matter how long the list of minuses is, there are still more pluses. I'm shooting a movie, I sit here and give you an interview, I have a shield, and I get paid for what I'm running back and forth and trying to portray something.
- Tell us about your training for the role of Captain America.
We were filming in Boston, and I trained with an instructor for about four months for two hours a day, and it was tin. I love working for wear, crock as hell and then say:" I did it! "Here were all on differently. Leaving the train, I thought: "I feel like throwing up. I hate the coach. I hate this movie. I want to sleep for a week! "It was very difficult. I have a fast metabolism and I am losing weight easily, so in order to gain weight, I need to eat a lot. There comes a point when you no longer can even look at another piece of chicken. You feel that growing on the eyes, but continue to absorb protein. It was a nightmare.
- What is your favorite moment in the film?
I liked the underwater shots. Before, I had never shot under water. Week filming an episode when I was chasing a submarine, was very fun, and I just squeaked in delight. I sank to a depth of scuba in the mouth, and when the shooting began, I selected the scuba. And so from time to time. In short, I was under water for very long, and it was great and very unusual.
- "The First Avenger" VS "Avengers."
In "The First Avenger" shooting schedule is much better. This is the advantage franchise, consisting of six pictures, as you can safely classify an incredible amount of material. I can not imagine that will start before the premiere of "Avengers"! You guys will want to talk with Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson and Mark Ruffalo, and this time I'll take a break and sit on the sidelines.
