This should have been a time of wild celebration for Chris Evans. Just over a week ago, People magazine crowned him 2022’s Sexiest Man Alive. It’s an honour that only the greatest men on Earth receive (and Mel Gibson, and Johnny Depp twice), and it meant that he should now be embarking on a full calendar year of non-stop triumph. But he isn’t. In fact, Evans is having a terrible time of it. And it’s all down to his stinking fans.
You see, it has emerged that Evans has a girlfriend. He has had a girlfriend for a year now: Alba Baptista, the star of TV series Warrior Nun. And now that the relationship has been made public, some of his fans are spitting mad. On Sunday, the Twitter account TeamEvans_13 posted a message reading “We are disappointed. We are hurt” that linked to a long, long open letter to the actor. “As a 30 year old, I’ve basically grown up on your work,” it began. “You’ve been the most real and genuine person I’ve watched in Hollywood. Your humility, your love for your family, friends, and [your dog] Dodger, your sense of responsibility to use your voice for good.”
