Net Worth
With a successful career run so far, it’s no shame that Cap would try living his life in elegance. Although he doesn’t put up a display of expenditures to the public, Evans had made sure to invest so much in his personal space, ride, and wellness.
The Los Angeles House
Chris purchased this property worth $3.5 million back in 2013. It is located at the exclusively gated area above the Laurel Canyon in Los Angeles, California. The lair, which is around 4,600 square feet, consists of 3 bedrooms, 4 baths, a spa, a swimming pool, a gorgeous kitchen, and a built-in Miele coffee maker. The house is perfectly placed to have a sweet view of Los Angeles.
His Cars
The Cap lives his life in simplicity allowing him to see and get the things he really needed while looking cool at the same time. That being said, Evans is normally seen driving with his Lexus ES350 which is worth $39,000+, a casual car for casual use. He’s also seen riding a Jeep Cherokee which ranges within $25,000 – $37,000 depending on the actual model and year it was bought.
There’s also some notable Chevy’s in his garage which includes a $40,000 Chevrolet Suburban and the outstanding 1967 Camaro which was gifted to him by Robert Downey Jr. The car is said to have worth (includes restoration) $275,000 and is molded to appear close to Captain America especially the Captain America shield on its wheels.
The Captain Physique
No pain, no gain. Chris isn’t new to this saying as he puts a lot of effort and money towards his health and built. He is known to have hired a personal stylist and a personal trainer. His trainer is none other than former Royal Marine Simon Waterson, the same guy who helped Daniel Craig build his 007 figure.

Who Did Chris Evans Date?
Good news for a lot of his fans, our guy is still a bachelor. He currently enjoys the company of his dog, Dodger. Anyways, there are a few ladies who were rumored to be dating Evans but were dismissed as false such as Emmy Rossum and Amy Smart. Nonetheless, here are the confirmed beauties that Chris had dated in the past:
His 5-Year Relationship with Jessica Biel
Probably his longest relationship so far. The two met in the early years of their career in the year 2001. Most of the time, their romantic history is kept private. They got the chance to work on 2 movies together: London and Cellular. In an interview with Cosmopolitan in 2005, Biel said: “We always talk about it. We both want to be married, and we both want to have children. But we’re not engaged, so the rumors are false… so far.”
The On-and-Off Dating with Minka Kelly
After breaking up with Jessica in 2006, it was reported that Evans and Kelly started dating together the following year. Within the same year (2007), the two separated. After 5 years, they reconnected in September 2012 which ended over a year after in October 2013. Their romance produced another spark when they were seen together in September 2015 but no more news about them ever since that Labor Day.
His Childhood Crush
Evans told Playboy in an interview around April 2012 that he had a crush on Sandra Bullock when he was younger. “I used to be in love with Sandra Bullock when I was growing up. Sandy B. was my girl. I remember seeing Speed when I was in seventh grade and just thinking, ‘That’s her.’” They first met in the 2012 Vanity Fair event and 2 years after that, a source told E! News that they’re in the early stages of a relationship: “They haven’t put a title on it, but they really like each other.” Up to this day, it is still unclear if the two dated but there’s nothing fresh from them ever since.
The Brief Dating with Lily Collins
Evans and Collins met at the Oscars after-party in 2015. Moving forward, news surrounded them that the two had been spotted dating and they’re sure are having a lot of fun. However, the rumors eventually died and there’s no more info about the two.
Short but Meaningful with Jenny Slate
The two met on the set of Gifted back in 2015 and in 2016, a few months after Slate got divorced from her ex-husband, they started dating. As she stated in Entertainment Tonight: “It’s kind of like I got my dream, seventh-grade boyfriend. We didn’t know each other growing up, but we grew up about a half-hour away from each other. We’ve been friends for a while.” Unfortunately for the two, they got separated in less than a year due to scheduling conflicts.
A New Found Love
It was in July of 2020 when Evans is seen hanging out with actress Lily James in London. As of the moment, there isn’t any update as to what’s the status of the two, but only time will tell.
Movies
At 39 years of age, Evans had an existing 54 acting credits across the silver screen and TV shows. Here are some of the most memorable Chris Evans performances in films:
Gifted: Frank Adler
In this 2017 drama, Evans played the character of a single man raising his very intelligent niece. When you get used to him playing Cap, seeing Gifted for the very first time is very refreshing to the eyes. A flawed person trying his best to help a young kid survive the cruelty from the world she doesn’t seem to fit in.
Snowpiercer: Curtis
Considered one of the most underrated films of all time, Snowpiercer is directed by Bong Joon-ho which stars A-listers like Tilda Swinton and Ed Harris. An unshaven look, tough-looking Evans, and a hell of great acting is where some of the film’s structure is founded on. The story follows an unsuccessful experiment that erases most life on Earth excluding the ones boarded on the train. Chris plays the leader of the revolutionary group whose goal is to set the actual freedom the people like him needed, at all cost.
Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World: Lucas Lee
In this 2010 film, Evans doesn’t portray the American way of providing justice and service but instead, he is an arrogant antagonist whose existence you will surely hate. It is one of the most memorable chops of the actor considering it shows his comedic proficiency and the character made its mark on its audiences.
Knives Out: Ransom Drysdale
In this most recent crime thriller outing of Evans, he plays Ransom, the grandson of a wealthy crime novelist. He leaves the high-end life of being a millionaire and decided to be on his own, only to be returned due to the tragic incident. The cast is composed of great figures such as Daniel Craig, Ana de Armas, and Christopher Plummer. K.O. is a well-written and executed thriller for which it deserves the critical appraise it is getting.
Marvel Cinematic Universe: Captain America
The list won’t be complete without this. Second chances are real when it comes to him playing comic book roles. The breakout role for the actor almost seemed impossible for him to grasp back in time when he is having deep stress from mixtures of failed superhero adaptation, losing some roles, and breakups.
“It was the first time I started having mini panic attacks on set. I really started to think, ‘I’m not sure if this is the right thing for me, I’m not sure if I’m feeling as healthy as I should be feeling.” When the time came for Marvel to have some screen test for the character, he treated it as a fork in the road and decided to make a pass to move on from the anxiety.
It was then when the opportunity reaches up to him. Marvel straight up offered the role of Captain America and with some help from his family, therapists, and Robert Downey Jr., Evans finally made the greatest decision of his life. Furthermore, the rest is history.
“Maybe the thing that you’re most scared of is exactly what you should do.” The same thought was given by Evans himself in which we can all learn from.
