So who would you rather interview about Avengers: Age of Ultron \u2013 Chris Evans or Chris Hemsworth. How about both . . . AT THE SAME TIME!\u00a0I have to admit that, even though I was at the other end of the table, the view was still pretty nice. What stood out to me even more, though, was just how much fun they were having during the interview. Read on and you’ll see what I mean.<\/p>\n

Now Chris 1 and Chris 2 (per Mr. Evans’ request\u00a0to\u00a0call them that) were kind of chatty so the interview is a bit long. However, there’s a nice audio clip I’ve included for you \ud83d\ude42 Enjoy and stay tuned for four more interviews!<\/p>\n

Avengers Age of Ultron Interviews: Chris Evans and Chris Hemsworth<\/h3>\n

Q:\u00a0Do you guys find something that you discover about your characters each time you put on the costume? Or do you feel like you really know the character by now?<\/p>\n

CHRIS EVANS: Well, you know the character but you hope there are always new challenges. You hope as an actor there\u2019s always a new hurdle to jump and a new arc to discover. You know the first couple of movies you try to read as many comic books as possible to make sure the built-in audience, the fan base, is going to be satisfied with what you bring to the screen.<\/p>\n

But then, in terms of where the character is going, that\u2019s up to the director and whoever\u2019s doing it. And that\u2019s always new and that\u2019s what makes these exciting to come back to. If it weren\u2019t new, it would get old, stagnant and the audience would feel it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Q : More about you know, really researching the character. Do you feel that playing Capt. America has made you more wholesome?\u00a0Do you think that\u2019s changed you as a person at all?<\/p>\n

CHRIS EVANS: Sure. I mean, there\u2019s no denying. Any actor will tell you if you have to live in any headspace for an extended period of time, you\u2019re going to take some of it home with you. You hope that some of the character comes home with you. You hope to see more of yourself, you hope to see more of Steve Rogers in who you are on a day-to-day basis. So yeah, absolutely.<\/p>\n

CHRIS HEMSWORTH: Unless you\u2019re playing Hannibal Lecter . . .<\/p>\n

CHRIS EVANS: Sometimes you get hungry for people and look, it\u2019s method . . .<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Q: Did either of you . . .<\/p>\n

CHRIS EVANS: Did either of you ever eat a person?<\/p>\n

CHRIS HEMSWORTH: Just this once. Tastes like chicken.<\/p>\n

CHRIS EVANS: Once I was in the Philippines.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Q: No, I was just going to ask if you had a favorite superhero . . .<\/p>\n

CHRIS HEMSWORTH: Oh, a little different.<\/p>\n

CHRIS EVANS: That\u2019s what I meant to say.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Chris Evans and Chris Hemsworth Interview\u00a0Goes Back on Track<\/h3>\n

CHRIS HEMSWORTH: Superman was mine.\u00a0It was probably the first of the superhero films, wasn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n

CHRIS EVANS: When you\u2019re a kid you kind of like what you\u2019re given to play with. So I had a Spiderman toy and so that was kind of my thing. I never really watched Spiderman comics but he was my guy. He was battling ninja turtles a lot.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Q: So going off of that if you weren\u2019t Thor\u00a0and weren’t playing Captain America would you choose\u00a0. . .<\/p>\n

CHRIS EVANS: To be a ninja turtle? Yes.\u00a0Would anyone here not want to be a ninja turtle?! Great cast.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Q: What character would you love to play?<\/p>\n

CHRIS EVANS: To be honest, I\u2019d love to play like an Ironman. You know, Steve Rogers is such an internal guy. I just want to make some jokes. Can I just make some jokes? I don\u2019t get any jokes and, you know, Ironman is this fun, free, loose guy.<\/p>\n

It was a lot like when I was doing the Fantastic Four movies. It\u2019s fun to play someone who wears their emotions on their sleeve\u00a0and Steve\u2019s not exactly that way. So any other superhero who gets to be a little more sassy I would take. Yeah, Cap\u2019s not sassy.\u00a0So, Black Widow.\u00a0Yeah, I\u2019d look good in that black outfit.<\/p>\n

Q: Yeah, we’\u00a0d agree.<\/p>\n

CHRIS HEMSWORTH: Me too.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

From a Young Fan That’s Being Bullied<\/h3>\n

Q: I have a question from a 10-year-old fan, a\u00a0little boy who is a victim of bullying. He wants to know if you think it\u2019s okay for a boy to have long hair?<\/p>\n

CHRIS HEMSWORTH: Of course it is. Absolutely. My dad had long hair for years. In fact, was asked to play for a football team, invited down to a big league in Australian football. It was quite a big opportunity. And the coach said, yeah, cool but you\u2019ve got to cut your hair because he had a ponytail.\u00a0And he said no and walked away. And gave up that dream and did something else, honestly.\u00a0That\u00a0really kind of impressed me.\u00a0I think part of him sort of says I should have just cut my hair.<\/p>\n

I think, absolutely, why not? What is the issue there? If anyone is narrow-minded enough and limited in their thinking to think that that is an issue, then they\u2019ve got the problem. And you wait, in a few years\u2019 time that kid will understand that that other kid has larger problems, you know?<\/p>\n

CHRIS EVANS: Anytime I see a kid with long hair I\u2019m like, that kid is so much cooler than everyone else.<\/p>\n

CHRIS HEMSWORTH: Girls love long hair so tell him that.<\/p>\n

CHRIS HEMSWORTH: Yeah, there you go. He\u2019ll be fine. He\u2019s going to clean up in a few years\u2019 time. And that bully who\u2019s teasing him is going to get nothing.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Q: Going off of that with little kids do you guys have a favorite moment or favorite thing to do offset but as your characters?<\/p>\n

CHRIS EVANS: Well, that\u2019s the best thing about these characters, kids love them. There\u2019s really nothing like seeing a little kid’s face kind of light up, kind of freeze in the moment, because I know what that was like. I met Hulk Hogan when I was 10 and I was like, AAHHH!\u00a0Everything just went blank.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s just those little moments that can really impact little kids\u2019 lives. So any way you can incorporate yourself in those little kids, whether it\u2019s going to the hospital when\u00a0kids are sick or going to a theater where kids are learning to be creative and find themselves.\u00a0Any type of environment where\u00a0you can encourage that is great. And that\u2019s one of the real perks of playing this role.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Q: How much fun was it to have the scene around Thor\u2019s hammer?<\/p>\n

CHRIS HEMSWORTH: It was great. It was good to see us all in normal clothes and not being superheroes. And for me personally, Thor can get so kind of stuck being the godly prince or king or whatever he is.\u00a0I can’t keep up with him. It\u2019s nice to be in civilian clothes. And what do these guys do when they\u2019re not saving the world? It\u2019s relatable for people in the audience and that was exciting to read and be a part of.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Avengers Age of Ultron\u00a0Off-Set<\/h3>\n

Q: Can we go off of what you are saying just now? Do you guys hang out after the movie?<\/p>\n

CHRIS HEMSWORTH: We try not to. Just save it for the screen.<\/p>\n

CHRIS EVANS: I’m truly sick of everybody. No, absolutely. I mean, that\u2019s one of the best parts of this job. Any movie you\u2019re going to get stuck doing a franchise with there\u2019s a lot of variables that could go south. The movies could just be lousy or you could hate the director or you could hate the cast. Luckily, I don\u2019t know how it happened, but none of that has happened. We’ve got great movies, love the directors, and the cast has become family. So absolutely. Outside of filming we all hang out, we all cause trouble.<\/p>\n

CHRIS HEMSWORTH: I can\u2019t tell you how many people when I was about to do Avengers went, oh, good luck on that set.<\/p>\n

CHRIS EVANS: Don\u2019t work with Chris Evans.<\/p>\n

CHRIS HEMSWORTH: The egos, yeah, especially him. But about like the egos and, “Ah, I wouldn\u2019t want to maintain that set.” I didn\u2019t see any of that and I still haven\u2019t.\u00a0But as Chris said, we got lucky and we do honestly have a great time.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Real\u00a0Chris Evans and Chris Hemsworth Revealed<\/h3>\n

This part just doesn’t translate well into written form. You have to hear it for yourself. I asked a Chris Hemsworth if he ever went into “God-speak” (just a word I made up for the way Thor speaks) off set during filming. I got a much different answer than expected. Chris Evans was laughing so hard and leaning back so far in his chair that\u00a0we all thought he was going to fall. Listen in:<\/p>\n\n

<\/center>Q: What aspects of Capt. America\u2019s personality are coming from you and what are the most difficult to portray?<\/p>\n

CHRIS EVANS: I think every character has to come a little bit from you. One of the things I do as an actor is try to adjust who I\u2019m speaking to. Obviously, if you\u2019re not playing like some pedophile or something like that, there\u2019s always something. I do believe there\u2019s always something that you can tap into for every role because you have to make it your own. You can\u2019t be too foreign or off-base because you have to make it something familiar.<\/p>\n

I grew up with a kid named Charlie Morris and you can all right that down because he\u2019ll love it. And this kid, this was a kid who was an Eagle Scout. You know what it takes to be an Eagle Scout as a kid? This is a kid who was 18 years old and was going on like his Eagle Scout like thing. He was just the best guy I knew, just a good guy. And so a lot of times you kind of draw parallels to what Charlie would do. The trickiest thing is to try to make him likable. He doesn\u2019t joke, he\u2019s not fun. He\u2019s not like sassy or loud or anything.\u00a0So you try to play this guy and not come across as boring, which is the most dangerous thing about the character.<\/p>\n

So I mean, it\u2019s fun because it\u2019s not me. I\u2019m a very open guy. I wear my emotions right on my sleeve and this guy is a little more inside himself. But that\u2019s what makes it like a fun challenge and, like I said, you do draw on parts of yourself. But I also lean on Charlie quite a bit, too, so write that down, Charlie Morris. He\u2019s a good guy.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
