‘Captain America’ Star Chris Evans Proves Chivalry Exists At Oscars, Wins The Internet

Chris Evans has already captured the hearts of millions with his portrayal of Steve Rogers in the Marvel Cinematic Universe films. However, the real Captain America has proven once again that he is an all-around good guy. Evans attended the 91st Academy Awards and proved to the world that chivalry is not dead.

The Avengers: Endgame star was at the Oscars to present the Achievement in Production Design award. However, this wasn’t the reason why Chris Evans turned heads at the event. When Regina King was announced as the Best Supporting Actress, the If Beale Street Could Talk star had some trouble with the skirt of her gown. Evans immediately swooped in, offered an arm, and escorted King up the stairs.

Watch Chris Evans act like a true gentleman at the Oscars.

It was the act of a true gentleman and the internet immediately exploded with love for Chris Evans. Some stated that the Captain America star proved that chivalry is not dead while others applauded him for being the Best Support for an Actress.

The move may have made Evans one of the highlights of the evening but others felt that people were overreacting. A few netizens pointed out that the simple gesture was hardly worth all the hype.

The mixed reactions certainly confirmed that you can’t please everybody. Nevertheless, Evans has once again proven that he’s a good guy in real life.

Escorting Regina King so she can receive her award wasn’t the only adorable thing that Chris Evans did at the Oscars. He also proved that he’s loyal to the Marvel family when he finally took the stage.

Evans joined Jennifer Lopez to present the award for Achievement in Production Design. When Lopez opened the envelope and Evans saw that Black Panther had won, he celebrated the win immediately.

See Evans celebrate Black Panther’s win at the Oscars.
