Where it all started

If you thought we were gonna post the picture, think again. But anyhoo, this all started when Evans accidentally posted a screenshot of his camera roll that showed one of his nudes. The actor was quick to delete the picture, but by then it was too late. The screenshots had been taken, and they were spreading like wildfire.

Fans to the rescue

The actor has been open about his battle with anxiety (he had his first anxiety attack back in 2007). It got so bad that he even contemplated quitting acting. This is why many of his fans quickly diverted the attention from his leaked photos to the good things he’s done.

Let’s talk about Chris Evans’ random acts of kindness

While some folks were busy going through the Chris Evans hashtag on Twitter to find the incriminating photo, his fans made it more difficult for them by talking about the celeb’s acts of kindness.

And there’s more where that came from

It wasn’t like they had to dig deep to find these stories — Chris seems to be a pretty great guy and there’s no shortage of these feel-good stories.

Netizens post soft content

After his name trended, fans were quick to spam Twitter with soft Chris Evans content. For instance, there was a lot of content of him and his dog, and honestly, we’re not mad about it.

Why not talk about his amazing sense of humor instead?

In spite of being an A-list celebrity, Chris has always stayed humble and is known for being extra nice to reporters. His kindness has always been admired by fans and non-fans alike.

The kind of soft Chris content we want

Now, these are too adorable to not share! Chris may be a macho man, but deep inside he’s a soft-hearted person we all must protect.

What people should be watching

Why don’t we focus on this masterpiece, instead of talking about that picture? In Defending Jacob, Chris Evans stars as Andy Barber, the father of a 14-year-old boy accused of murder. The limited series gained generally favorably news, but the general consensus has deemed Chris Evans’ performance as *chef’s kiss*. Watch. It.

But can we also have the same protective energy for female celebs?

While it’s nice that people are defending Chris, one cannot help why this kind of thing hasn’t happened for other celebrity nude leaks — specifically those concerning women. We hope that maybe the internet has just matured and that maybe we’ll see more of this behavior in the future, but our not-so-inner cynics think otherwise. Guess we’ll just have to wait and see.
