Why Chris Evans Missed His Film’s Premiere at Cannes
Paul Mescal and Gracie Abrams Mark Relationship Milestone at Cannes Film Festival
Chris Evans is proving he’s a superhero son.
The Captain America star was noticeably absent on the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival in France May 23, where his upcoming comedy Honey Don’t! had its world premiere. However, he later shared that he missed the event to help his mom Lisa Capuano Evans ring in a special milestone.
“I wish I could’ve been with my incredible cast and filmmakers at Cannes, but it was my mother’s 70th birthday and there are some things you just can’t miss,” Chris wrote in a post on his Instagram Stories May 25. “Congrats everyone!!”
In his absence, the 43-year-old’s costars Margaret Qualley, Charlie Day and Aubrey Plaza were on hand to represent the film at the premiere, along with director Ethan Coen. The outing was particularly notable for Aubrey, as it marked her first red carpet appearance since her husband Jeff Baena’s tragic death in January.
