Fans should thank Hollywood star Chris Evans' mom Lisa Evans for pushing him to play Steve Rogers aka Captain America, as the actor was initially unwilling to take up the superhero part.

In an interview with Esquire, Lisa revealed that her superstar son was skeptical to take up the role because he was scared of becoming too famous.

His biggest fear was losing his anonymity. He said, I have a career now where I can do work I really like. I can walk my dog. Nobody bothers me. Nobody wants to talk to me. I can go wherever I want. And the idea of losing that is terrifying to me.'
Lisa said seeing Chris as an old man in the film was an emotional moment for her as he resembled his late granddad exactly."
