Loving this photo shoot. As for jumping out of a completely good airplane, that looks terrifying.

the photos are great!! professor evans and comfy cudly in an old sweater evans, are great looks!!!
I liked the interview!! I always like when he talks about the books he reads. Also interesting that he talked about how he started in the bussiness but he commented on it in a very realist way, this article wasn't trying to color him up in any way, I say this because some articles, like the GQ one years ago, painted him more like the party fun guy who could get the girls... others try to paint him as perfect CA, this one felt simple and that was nice.
It's funny the advisers try to convince him off talking politics... I bet they are really scared particularly after his tweet after election night made the top 5 of most retweeted in politics in 2016. I don't know why they want him to speak less if he already edits himself a lot, there are so many issues he could be adressing and he tiptoes around them.

Neither of them are headlining $200m+ movies with their face helping to sell hundreds of millions (or billions) in merchandise. Ruffalo as popular as he is as The Hulk is a supporting actor who's green alter ego sells the toys and t-shirts. Nor do they have Breitbart and Fox News running articles on them after their interviews, tweets etc. (Deporables are now all over Chris' Twitter feed) One could see why Chris' advisors (agents, managers - who live off a % or even Disney) would prefer he remain politically more innocuous or quiet. But as you say the reality is unless those that don't like "leftist" political adherents want to boycott 95% of film, TV, theater, and non country music they're out of luck.  |

great points here!!
the reality out of all the marvel actors, Ruffalo is the one that speaks all issues in his twitter, Cheadle even confronts those that attack him, but he explained he has his personal reasons, since the elected president used the N word referring about him on a social gathering years ago. Bettany also is very out spoken too... but with the 3 of them, their faces are not selling toys and merchandise, they are who we see in the movies and great at the job they do but they work more with the CGI or make up covering them.
Chris plays the character that actually has a reference in Marvel's and comics history, to have been used for political statements. So it's obvious that on one hand he has the pressure from people in this ideal of Cap, because his face is in the movies and toys and merchandising is sold so much on his face because for him CGI is for some crazy stunts, and there is no weird make up covering his face either.... so those from the left, want him to be Cap and "punch Nazis" with hard tweets fighting this government and they get offended big time if he doesn't attack Trump supporters, calling on his "white privilage"; then Trump supporters react offended by his tweets, and call him a "dumb actor" and he better "shut up or they won't see his movies", because of all those things and how political his character is, and his actual political opinions, because his uncle is/was a MA representative in the Democrat's party, etc. I get why his PR would be crazy for him to shut up.

I enjoyed this interview because I actually learned something I didn't know. Well, apart from the fact that his smoking has gone from occasionally when he's out drinking with friends to at home during the day when he's got guests. I'm slightly worried by it. That aside, I have never heard the story about the two man play before. It was so interesting to read about that and how he found himself becoming a part of the play. I knew that his parents split up at around that time of his life but again the phone call was a new piece of information to me.
I never really worked out what the skydive was all about. Was it supposed to be the photoshoot opportunity like the rock climbing for Details? In which case, we didn't really get the photos. Was it to raise money for a cause? It just seemed so random and unconnected to the actual interview.
As for his politics, I agree that he should be free to express those and I hardly think anything he has tweeted has been extreme in any way. Being followed by 5 and a half million people comes with responsibilities though. Obviously, not all 5.5 million are going to read every tweet but all the same knowing that anything you tweet is going to be read by a huge amount of people should give you pause for thought and I think his tweets are quite measured and I agree with what he says about not attacking the people who can be pursuaded.

Well, in the GQ interview he got that non-smoking girl smoking with him, with the Details they went on a midnight search for cigarettes and in this one he's pushed his cigarettes into the interview again. I am beginning to think he's getting backhanders from the B.A.T. to put it out there in interviews that he's a smoker. It would be worth their while given a large section of Chris's fans are the age group the B.A.T. need to reach in order to survive. I am joking. At least, I think I am.  The interview was great. I agree about learning new things too. I have never heard the 2 man show story either. I really enjoyed reading that. I also thought the skydive was a bit 'random'. With the twitter politics I am really in two minds about this. On the one hand I agree with his politics as they are pretty much the same as mine and I agree that he hasn't really been particularly outrageous compared to a lot of people and I think he has hit the right tone. If he comes under any real attack it's going to be from the alt right and they are a lost cause anyway. His recent attempts to be inclusive are probably the best bet. On the other hand, he's going to have to really be careful about practising what he preaches. I'm on record several times for disliking him flashing his, to my mind, immorally expensive watches and if you remember I threw a hissy fit a year or so ago when he was photographed outside Centerfolds strip club in Boston by those Irish lads. This is not because I lie awake at night worrying about watches and strip clubs but because he puts out and benefits from a reputation for being fairly down to earth/left wing and a feminist. It's not very down to earth/left wing to spend $12K on a watch when people are sleeping on the streets and it's not very feminist to visit strip clubs. It's taken me ages to find it but I noticed last year Jenny Slate tweeted about partners going to stripclubs.
I'd love to know what that was about! Anyway, my point is not that he does these things but that what he says publicly indicates he wouldn't do those things. It's the dishonesty that makes me angry not the deed itself. So going back to twitter I remember him at the army Q&A when someone asked him about the best part of being famous and he talked about being able to have a voice that has an audience so you can have an effect. So we can take it that he sees it as important to use twitter to get messages across. I would just warn him about being honest. |

I've heard him say in the past that he wasn't home when his parents divorced, but again learned something new from that interview. Not really sure why they pointed out the smoking though. Yeah we all know he smokes, and we all know it's bad for you but not sure why they bothered mentioning it again! Yeah, still wondering about the skydive. I know he went as I saw the pics on Instagram but thought it was just something random that he did to kill some time before going to the Superbowl - if it was for charity then I'm pretty sure that it would have been mentioned in the article then or there'd have been some press since. Am I the only one who can hear Lisa - "Christopher, you want to do WHAT?!"  I don't think that anyone's going to shut him up on the politics front though, and I don't think they should. He's been quite measured in his responses, and I feel that he's researched some of his answers before posting, they're not just spur of the moment comments. |
