The beardy hunk tells Variety he’s “ready to leave acting behind” and take up directing full time. 
Chris Evans looking all kinds of delicious on the cover of Variety this week. The beard! The muscles! The darker hair! And… how do I put this delicately?… SO MUCH hair. Not to be catty but… remember how he’s been saying that he’s going bald? And he didn’t know what to do about it because Captain America was supposed to be “this superior human. He can’t be balding… How horrible would it be if this superior man has male pattern baldness?” Doesn’t seem to be a problem anymore. I hate to be THAT guy, but is that a Bosley hair line I see up front? JUST PUTTING IT OUT THERE. As a bald man, I tend to obsess over these things.
Anyway. Anyway. Moving on. In the mag he says he wants to retire from being in front of the camera. “If I’m acting at all, it’s going to be under Marvel contract, or I’m going to be directing,” he says. “I can’t see myself pursuing acting strictly outside of what I’m contractually obligated to do.”
Of course, that can’t happen for some time. Over the next several years, he will clock at least six more appearances as Captain America in Avengers and Captain America sequels.
“Without these movies, I wouldn’t be directing,” he says optimistically. “They gave me enough overseas recognition to greenlight a movie. And if I’m speaking extremely candidly, it’s going to continue to do that for as long as the Marvel contract runs.”
