‘I did it!’: Chris Evans says he 'raced home' after losing virginity to tell mom Lisa about it
LAUREL CANTON, CALIFORNIA: Hollywood star Chris Evans' love and respect for his mother Lisa Capuano was evident in an old interview. In 2017, when Evans appeared on Late Night With Seth Meyers, the Captain America star talked about the close bond he shares with his mother, Capuano, and said that she is "very cool." He said, “My whole family, we're just very open with a lot of things."
He also admitted that he was a bit of a crybaby in his youth. “I cried a lot, I really did. I cried the first day of school; I cried the first day of camp.” (And it was day camp!)

"If I had parties in high school, half the party [was] upstairs talking to her (Chris's mother) about inappropriate things. She's a really, really cool woman." So cool that, after losing his virginity, he "raced home and I said, 'I did it!' I don't know what I was doing, but I think I did it."
"And I didn’t cry!" Meyers added jokingly. “Oh, no. I cried. I didn’t say that” Evans clarified. Last year, on Mother's Day Evans, shared a sweet photo of him and his mother showing his love for her. "Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers out there! (But especially mine 💙)," Evans wrote on Instagram.
Evan's close relationship with his mother is evident not only in his personal life but in his professional life as well. His mother, in an interview in 2020, said that she had to persuade him to play Steve Rogers/Captain America in the movies of the Marvel Cinematic Universe since he was apprehensive about taking up the role. According to Capuano, Chris Evans was concerned about losing his anonymity.
“His biggest fear was losing his anonymity,” Lisa said. “He said, ‘I have a career now where I can do work I really like. I can walk my dog. Nobody bothers me. Nobody wants to talk to me. I can go wherever I want. And the idea of losing that is terrifying to me." "He would call and ask for my advice,” she added. “I said to him, ‘Look, you want to do acting work for the rest of your life? If you do this part, you will have the opportunity. You’ll never have to worry about paying the rent. If you take the part, you just have to decide, It’s not going to affect my life negatively—it will enable it.’”
