Chris Evans skipped Cannes Film Festival for one heartwarming reason
Chris Evans has always been a family man.
On Sunday, the "Captain America" star, 43, explained why he skipped out on attending the Cannes Film Festival to promote his upcoming film "Honey Don't!" - and the reason is heartwarming.
"I wish I could've been with my incredible cast and filmmakers at Cannes, but it was my mother's 70th birthday and there are just some things you can't miss," he wrote on his Instagram story, alongside a cast photo including Margaret Qualley and Aubrey Plaza. "Congrats everyone!"
Evans, who is one of four children, has always been vocal about the importance of family,
"In my own life, I have a deep connection with my family and the value of those bonds," he told Esquire in 2017. '"I've always loved stories about people who put their families before themselves. It's such a noble endeavor. You can't choose your family, as opposed to friends."
After wrapping production on Marvel Cinematic Universe's "Avengers: Endgame," where he portrayed the beloved Captain America, Evans spoke about moving from L.A. to his hometown of New England in an effort to prioritize his mental health.
It "takes me back to a place when life was not just simpler - that's too reductive - but to a time where I was more pure, I guess; where my ego and my insecurities weren't such a dominant force that I had to push against," he told GQ Magazine in 2023.
Evans said that anxiety nearly altered the trajectory of his career and his role as Captain America.
The actor was "apprehensive about taking the role initially," revealing he actually said no before saying yes. "I remember in my late 20s having a real shift in how I felt on set, how I felt promoting films: a little more anxiety, a little more uncertainty. You always end up questioning, 'Is this what I should be doing?'"
"I just wasn't sure if I was moving closer to myself or further away. And something inside me kept saying that I was getting further away— that something about this industry wasn't healthy."

Former LeBron James Teammate Tells Wild Club Story About Lakers Star
Former LeBron James Teammate Tells Wild Club Story About Lakers Star originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James takes precise care of his body, which has helped him play 22 seasons in the NBA at an elite level. Advertisement James is 40 years old. He's the oldest active player in the NBA. The average person wouldn't know that by watching him play, as James made the All-NBA Second Team this year and became the oldest player in NBA history to receive an MVP vote, breaking Michael Jordan's 23-year-old record. A four-time MVP, James has played for the Cleveland Cavaliers (twice), Miami Heat and Lakers. He's a four-time champion and a four-time Finals MVP. James is the only player in NBA history to win a Finals MVP Award with three teams. Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James© Soobum Im-Imagn Images A future Hall of Famer, James won his first two titles with the Heat in 2012 and 2013. Mario Chalmers, who was on those Miami teams, recently told NFL legend Shannon Sharpe that James used to get treatment in the clubs. Advertisement "I tell people this all the time, Bron will really get treatment if he was in the club. Like, he would literally have something on his knees or something on his back inside the club. So it's like why is somebody doing that, like that's a real dedication to just be in the club with treatment." Chalmers said. Sharpe went on asking what were the kind of treatments he is doing in the club. "Not ice bags, it'd be like the stim, like the stim machine that shoot electrolyte or electricity in your knees and stuff like that. He always have something [for] recovery." James has said many times that he takes recovery very seriously. The leading scorer in NBA history has never undergone surgery on his body because of an injury. The small forward is arguably the most durable athlete in NBA history. Advertisement Arguably the greatest player of all time, James has career averages of 27.0 points, 7.5 rebounds, 7.4 assists, 1.5 steals and 0.7 blocks. He's the only player in NBA history to rank top five all-time in points and assists. James, who turns 41 in December, has a player option to return to the Lakers next season worth $52.6 million. The King is widely expected to pick up his option and play his 23rd NBA season.
