Chris Evans is on the cover of GQ magazine‘s July issue. It’s perfect timing because his role as “Captain America: The First Avenger” based on the Marvel Comics series hits theaters next month.

Chris opened up about being an asshole in the men’s magazine saying, “The character’s supposed to be this horrible actor and a douchebag, and I get the job and so many people were like, ‘You’re perfect, you’re gonna crush it!’ ”he continued with feigned anger. “I was like, So I got this role as an asshole actor, and you guys think I nailed it? That I’m a natural and that nobody in town can do it better?”

He also talked about his reluctance taking the role as Captain America and his love for sunsets. Go figure.

Check it out below.

Chris Evans on getting over his initial reluctance to take on the role of Captain America:

“I said no a bunch, and every time I said no, I woke up the next morning so happy and content. I kept saying no; they kept coming back. And eventually I was like, ‘You know what? This is your biggest fear — this is exactly what you have to do.’”

Chris Evans on how seeing sunsets are the “happiest” times in his life:

“The point is that when I see a sunset or a waterfall or something, for a split second it’s so great, because for a little bit I’m out of my brain, and it’s got nothing to do with me. I’m not trying to figure it out, you know what I mean? And I wonder if I can somehow find a way to maintain that mind stillness.”
