Remember the iconic moment when Chris Evans’ as Steve Rogers was first revealed as Captain America after receiving Erskine’s super-soldier serum? That moment is probably engraved into the memory of every Marvel fan as one of the most legendary feats of the MCU. Standing 6 feet tall with a chiseled physique and oozing charm, it wasn’t a surprise when People Magazine named him the Sexiest Man Alive in 2022.

Despite the constant admiration and global recognition, there is one criticism that Evans has not been able to escape: the comparison of his height with other stars and some labeling him too short. Even though he stands 6 feet tall, Evans’ mother particularly despises this criticism about her son.

Chris Evansis undoubtedly one of the most alluring and admired men in showbiz.

Yet, despite his good looks, pleasant personality, and acting genius, there is one criticism that often follows the actor around: that he is not tall enough despite literally being 6 feet tall. And it is this one criticism that the actor’s mother hates.GQ, back in a 2011 cover story, had revealed how his mom, Lisa, dislikes people calling him short.
Somebody wrote on IMDb that he looked short! And I was like, ‘He was standing next to Chris Hemsworth—of course he looked short! Shaquille O’Neal would look short!’ Sometimes I get worked up, because I don’t want anybody to say anything bad about my child, so I’ll call him and say, ‘Somebody said you look short!’ and he’ll say, ‘Mom, you’ve gotta stop that, you’ve gotta stop.’ So I’ve pretty much stopped.

Stated his mother to GQ correspondent, while Evans cheekily remarked—‘She hasn’t stopped sh*t!’.And while his mom happily defends him every time he is called short, the actor has never been bothered about people calling him short or any other thing.

While Evans added that he would soon besubjected to some unserious bullyingfrom his friends, he also added that his mother would certainly be happy to brag about it.
My mom will be so happy. She’s proud of everything I do but this is something she can really brag about.

And his mom, Lisa, was happy but not surprised, remarking to the magazine,
I am not surprised at all. Our family will be beside themselves.
