Real reason Captain America star Chris Evans skipped huge premiere of his new film in Cannes
Chris Evans was noticeably missing from the world premiere of his new film Honey Don't during the 78th Cannes Film Festival in France last Friday. The retired Captain America - turning 44 next month - did not provide an explanation for his absence until Sunday morning. 'I wish I could've been with my incredible cast and filmmakers at Cannes,' Chris - who boasts 17.4M Instagram followers - wrote. 'But it was my mother's 70th birthday and there are some things you just can't miss! Congrats everyone!' Evans is very close with his divorced mother Lisa, who fostered his creativity from an early age by installing a tap floor in the basement of their Sudbury, MA house. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop The former pro dancer currently works as artistic director for the Concord Youth Theater where the Red One action star sits on the advisory board and his sister Shanna is a costume designer. Lisa loved 'bragging about' Chris being named People's Sexiest Man Alive in 2022, and it was her who convinced him to take the multi-film MCU role of Steve Rogers. 'His biggest fear was losing his anonymity,' Evans (born Capuano) told Esquire in 2020. 'He said, "I have a career now where I can do work I really like. I can walk my dog. Nobody bothers me. Nobody wants to talk to me. I can go wherever I want. And the idea of losing that is terrifying to me."' Lisa continued: 'I said to him, "Look, you want to do acting work for the rest of your life? If you do this part, you will have the opportunity. You'll never have to worry about paying the rent. If you take the part, you just have to decide, It's not going to affect my life negatively — it will enable it."' Speaking of which, TheWrap reported that Evans would play 'an undisclosed role' in the Russo Brothers' MCU flick Avengers: Doomsday, which is already scheduled to hit US/UK theaters December 18, 2026. Last Friday, Honey Don't director Ethan Coen climbed the grand staircase of Palais des Festivals alongside members of the cast and crew including Margaret Qualley, Aubrey Plaza, and Charlie Day. The same group, including co-screenwriter Tricia Cooke, glammed up for the who-done-it dark comedy's photo call on Saturday. In Honey Don't - hitting US theaters August 22 - Chris 'slips easily' into the cult leader role of Reverend Drew Devlin, but 'the film feels like a series of gags with nowhere to go' according to THR critic Lovia Gyarkye. Last Friday, Collider critic Therese Lacson wrote that Evans presents 'one of the funniest characters' in the movie, but she 'questioned his character's purpose'- following the twisted climax. Mashable critic Kristy Puchko agreed that the finale will 'divide critics and audiences' she called the Boston-born Buddhist 'hilarious' and his 'physicality is suitably absurd.' From the 12 submitted reviews, Honey Don't currently has a dismal 50% critic approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. On December 30, Chris wrapped his role as kidnapped movie star Mike Tyler in Romain Gavras' upcoming adventure comedy Sacrifice. Evans is also credited as a producer on the flick featuring Anya Taylor-Joy, Salma Hayek, Vincent Cassel, Charli XCX, and John Malkovich. But first, audiences can catch the Deadpool & Wolverine actor as lovesick waiter John in Celine Song's matchmaking rom-com Materialists - hitting US theaters June 13 - alongside Dakota Johnson and Pedro Pascal.

Long may he reign. John Krasinski is enjoying the 'peak' of his Sexiest Man Alive title.
A chance to make the reigning Sexiest Man Alive blush? We couldn't help ourselves. Krasinski is six months into his reign as People's annual titleholder. Like many of the leading men before him — Chris Evans! John Legend! Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson! — the actor sat for a photo shoot and interview, as is tradition. He gushed about his wife, Emily Blunt, and how he hoped the hunky honor would relieve him from household chores. I had to do a wellness check on Krasinski since his crowning in November. Why? Well, his Fountain of Youth costar Eiza González laughed that he's 'really suffering through' the press tour for their Apple TV+ film. "Every time people bring it up, he gets red!' she told Yahoo Entertainment when I broached the topic. It's clear why Krasinski was chosen. The magazine, which has been anointing Hollywood's leading men with the title since 1985, doesn't necessarily crown the biggest star of the year. Instead, their choices tend to skew more toward a person who has broad appeal to the masses. (Looking at you, People's Sexiest Man of 2017, Blake Shelton, and Paul Rudd, who was crowned in 2023.) In 2012, a People editor told USA Today the team looks at comments on their celebrity coverage throughout the year to guide their choice. Reporters also poll female stars about who should get the Sexiest Man Alive. Sure, looks are a factor, but it's more than that. Krasinski is well-liked by his peers. Both men and women enjoy his movies and TV shows. Fans want to date him, romantics ship his relationship with Blunt and people want to be his best friend. It's also worth mentioning that the magazine won't name someone who won't play ball (cough: Ryan Gosling) and they want a star who is comfortable "owning" the superlative. Enter the 45-year-old actor. Krasinski may not realize the universality of his appeal, though, or has nailed modesty (he's an actor, after all). He thought he was 'being punked' when he found out he nabbed the honor. 'That's not how I wake up, thinking, 'Is this the day that I'll be asked to be Sexiest Man Alive?' And yet it was the day you guys did it,' he said in the cover story. Don't be fooled, though. This isn't the first time Krasinski embraced his sexier side in print. He set the internet ablaze when, in 2015, his Men's Health photo shoot showed he's more than just sweet Jim from The Office. 'Funnyman John Krasinski Shows Off His New SEAL-Fit Body' was the headline of one article, which did just that as he posed in a black T-shirt. So it's no surprise then that Krasinski said he's actually "feeling pretty good" six months into his Sexiest Man Alive reign. "I mean, I'm at the peak now, right? So from here, it all goes downhill until I lose the crown," Krasinski said. "I'm going to enjoy this moment right now." González co-signs the title. "He's the best. I didn't have the pleasure of knowing him before. I met [his wife] Emily [Blunt] before, who's incredibly funny. He's just such a warm human being that in the first 10 minutes of being around him, he makes you feel so welcomed," she said. Krasinski and González's banter is on full display in Fountain of Youth. Director Guy Ritchie's family-friendly movie follows two estranged siblings (Krasinski and Natalie Portman) who reunite to go on a global heist to find the mythological Fountain of Youth. As their adventure takes them all around the world, González's character is hot on their heels to stop them from finding immortality. "When you have [John's] energy, it allows for really good banter,' she explained, 'and he comes up with great ideas." González also praised Krasinski's comedic skills, which he honed filming The Office for nearly a decade. "When you're improvising so much, that allows and gives you a whole other quality as an actor,' she said. "I was really happy to be around that energy." premieres on Apple TV+ on May 23.

How to have the best Sunday in L.A. according to Terry Crews
Terry Crews is a man of many talents. In the 1990s, he played for both the Rams and the Chargers before becoming an actor and starring in projects like 'White Chicks,' 'Everybody Hates Chris,' 'Brooklyn Nine-Nine' and 'The Expendables' franchise. Other roles on his resume? Old Spice spokesman, high-end furniture designer, accomplished painter and author of a memoir. Crews was also featured in People magazine's Sexiest Man Alive issue three times. But the gig that has made him internationally known, he says, is hosting 'America's Got Talent' for the last six years. The show, which is celebrating 20 seasons, returns to NBC on May 27. For Crews, hosting 'AGT' is a job that suits him. 'I am a honey-baked ham,' he shamelessly admits, flashing his endearing white smile during a Zoom call. 'I like the spotlight. I've always been a dancer, so it was like this is the vibe. But then I got in there, and I was like, now I see why I love this so much. It's because every contestant reminds me of me.' We caught up with Crews to discuss his ideal Sunday in L.A. It involves walking around Old Town Pasadena, catching a movie and spending time with his wife Rebecca King-Crews and their five adult children. This interview has been lightly edited for length and clarity. 6:30 a.m.: Wake up and hit the gym I am an early riser no matter what. Even if it's Sunday, it's like, my body clock just kind of pops up. Like when I say I sleep in late, that's 6:30 or 7 a.m. because I like to get up at the crack of dawn. I'm a 4:30 or 5 a.m. guy. Every Sunday, I start with a workout. It's very light, more of cardio and active recovery, but I never miss it. 9 a.m.: Pick up breakfast from Erewhon I've been intermittent fasting for almost 15 years, so I don't eat breakfast, but I love breakfast food. So what I do — and this is a real staple — we have an Erewhon that opened near us and it has the most fabulous cooked breakfast. It's half a store, half a restaurant. Erewhon has the best smoothies, the best pastries. Even though I don't eat until 2 p.m., I go to Erewhon and get all their breakfast stuff. I'll get the bacon and eggs, or the breakfast sandwiches [and] breakfast burritos. A lot of the time on Sundays, that's when all the kids want to stop by, so I'll bring a bunch of stuff, set it on the stove, and they go in there and I tell them, 'Leave me something.' 10 a.m.: Praise break at home My wife actually started a church. It's called the L.A. Life Church. It's like Tiny Desk meets church and she has a thing called Sonic Sundays. It's online, but we record during the week, and it's basically a half an hour with a lot of music, and then she does a lesson. We watch it together every Sunday morning when it comes out at 10 a.m. When COVID hit, it kind of changed our churchgoing habits because everybody had to do it at home, and she just decided, 'You know what? Let's just do it!' 11:30 a.m.: Hit up Old Town in Pasadena Once that's over, that's when we go down to Old Town. It's our favorite place to go. I have an office slash studio that's right off Colorado Avenue. That's where all the stores are, and my wife has a store, Rebeccca Crews, which is in Hugus Alley. My daughter works there too. So we'll walk around Old Town and I'll stop by Alfred to pick up a coffee. I get a double espresso, straight with nothing in it. We do occasionally do brunches. We really like Soho House in West Hollywood and also LA Cha Cha Chá near the Arts District. 1:30 p.m.: Breakfast for lunch If we decide to stay out, one place we love is Americana in Glendale, which is really close. I love this place called Egg Slut there. Crazy name, but man-oh-man, like I told you, I love breakfast food and they close at 2 p.m. So we have to time it out. We'll do all that Old Town running around, then we'll jump down to Glendale and usually I get there by 1:30 p.m. and I'll be their last customer, and they know me. I have a double bacon, double egg breakfast sandwich. It comes with a little ketchup on it and I get a side salad, which is like arugula and a little Parmesan and maybe a small orange juice. 3:30 p.m.: Pop over to the Americana in Glendale I love books. I have a library of books that is probably the most valuable thing that I own. I probably have like 10,000 books, so what I love to do is go to Barnes and Noble. You can't find them anymore. It's very rare and the Barnes and Noble at Americana is one of my favorite spots, because I'll get lost. You can spend literally two or three hours there. 5 p.m.: Watch a flick I'm a big movie guy, so usually on a Sunday, that's when I do my theater watching. I've been getting tickets to throwback movies. Being at home, it's OK, but I love the smell of popcorn and I love to experience the reactions of other people. When you're going to see a comedy or something scary or something weird, it's kind of like you want to feel that energy, so we go to IPIC. I'm a gold member. I'm practically a platinum member because I'm about really nice experiences. If you're going to do a theater, do it well. 7 p.m.: Enjoy my cheat-day meal Even though I do intermittent fasting, Sunday is my cheat day. When it's time for dinner, that's In-N-Out Burger time. I'll get a couple double-doubles. You know, I'm simple. Or we'll find a restaurant that everyone's been talking about. But a lot of times, they aren't open on Sunday nights. There are a few like Majordomo that my guy David Chang [owns], but other than that, it's In-N-Out Burger time. If there's a sporting event on a Sunday, I'd go to SoFi to see a football game. I was on the Rams and the Chargers, so the funny thing is, when I get invited to a Chargers game, I act like I'm the biggest Chargers fan in the world, and then when I get invited to the Rams game, I do the same thing. They both ended up in L.A., so they both claim me and I'm like yep [laughs]. 8 p.m.: Get ready for bed I go to bed early and my wife is like, 'What are we, in third grade?' [Laughs] That's why I don't like to go to the movies too late. I will never, ever go to a movie that starts at 7 p.m. cause you won't be out of there until like 10 p.m. I'm like nope! I go to bed at the latest 8:30 p.m. and my regime — something I've been doing for years and it feels so good — is I close all the curtains, make sure the room is all cool. I try my best to put the phone up. I don't want that blue light on me. I wash my face, brush my teeth, get in bed and I'll have the book of the century — whatever I'm reading — right next to the bed and my glasses. I look forward to this time cause you know where you left off, whether it's a novel or an autobiography, and you're like, I wonder what happened there? I always have to make sure I leave at a good spot. I'm the guy who gets sad at the end of a book. The same way people feel about streaming when you've gone through all 10 episodes. I'm reading a book called 'The Weight of Air' by this guy named David Poses. Oh, my God. He was addicted to heroin for years and was in and out of rehab. It's fascinating because he's so transparent and it just inspires me to be that vulnerable.

'Buckle up!' John Krasinski reveals his advice for People's next Sexiest Man Alive
John Krasinski says the next People's Sexiest Man Alive winner has a "hard crown to wear". The 45-year-old actor - who was honoured with the annual accolade a year ago - has given some tongue in cheek words of advice for his successor when the special issue returns later this year. Asked for a message to the next man to get the honour, he told PEOPLE magazine: "Buckle up. "It is a hard crown to wear, but you'll be all right. Just stay focused. Take a deep breath, you'll get through it." Meanwhile, John also joke he's "obsessed" with 'Fountain of Youth' director Guy Ritchie, and the British filmmaker's accent. He said: "Who's not obsessed with Guy? I don't know. I mean, he's got a heck of an accent. "He's so gregarious. He's got the best vibe. He's the nicest, sweetest, calmest person, and he talks to them like adults, and so he wasn't talking to them like kids. "He was asking 'em what they wanted to eat and did they want him to cook for them and all that stuff, and they just thought they were in the movie. I think they thought this was their big break." John fronted People's Sexiest Man Alive issue in November 2024, and at the time he said he experienced a "blackout" of emotions when he was told he'd be receiving the accolade, but he thought it was part of a prank. Asked his reaction, he told People magazine: 'Just immediate blackout, actually. Zero thoughts. Other than maybe I'm being punked. "That's not how I wake up, thinking, 'Is this the day that I'll be asked to be Sexiest Man Alive?' And yet it was the day you guys did it. You guys have really raised the bar for me.' The 'A Quiet Place' filmmaker told how his wife Emily Blunt was "very excited" when she heard the news. He said: 'There was a lot of joy involved in me telling her.'
