Chris Evans on Losing Captain America Muscle for ‘Gifted’: ‘My Body Doesn’t Want to Be That Big’ – Yahoo Movies

Chris Evans follows up his role as the titular beefcake crime-fighter of Marvels Captain America: Civil War by playing a boat mechanic caring for his super-genius niece (Mackenna Grace) in the much gentler, much less action-packed new drama Gifted.

While the actor has said he naturally weighs in between 170 and 180 pounds, he typically adds another 20 to 30 to play Cap.
