Actor Chris Evans says he is attached to his "Avengers" co-star Chris Hemsworth and treats him as his brother.

The 33-year-old actor, who stars as Captain America in 'The Avengers: Age of Ultron', has revealed that he and his Australian co-star, who plays Thor, have developed a strong bond over the years, in part because their careers have followed a similarity trajectory, reported Female First.

Asked if Hemsworth, 31, is his best friend among the 'Avengers' team, he said: "Oh yeah, (Chris Hemsworth) is like a brother at this point. We've had a very similar trajectory in, at least, being welcomed into this world.
 

"We both took these (Marvel hero) roles. We were both timid and nervous and didn't know how it was gonna play out. It's been nice to kind of share this with him."

Evans revealed Hemsworth helped him make the transition into the Marvel franchise, where they both star alongside the likes of Robert Downey Jr, Mark Ruffalo and Scarlett Johansson.

"We each have the standalone films as well, which can be a whole separate element of pressure and anxiety, and he's just been so helpful to me. Just to have someone else who's going through the same struggles I am," he said.
