Chris Evans isn’t one to flex his fame card. Even after two decades of movie stardom – including 10 box office-dominating turns as superhero Captain America that have won him a devoted fan base with nearly 14 million Twitter followers – he’s still a self-described “homebody”. Now, at a time when Evans could make almost any film he wants, the Boston native is boldly stepping into the controversial world of politics.
In July he launched a nonpartisan website called A Starting Point, designed to demystify the most common political issues. “It’s not that I’m specifically drawn to politics,” he says. “It’s just when you look around, you try to figure out how you can help.” The idea was born out of his own frustration about not being able to find reliable information online about basic political topics and policies. “There’s a lot of things you can do as an actor with your name,” he says. “I could be making booze. I don’t discourage anyone from doing that. I love booze. But there’s no denying that I played a certain character, and it just so happens to align with part of my nature in terms of being someone who cares about the wellbeing of people in this country. You have to use your platform to do more than just retweet things.”
