Chris Evans hails from a talented family!
In Instagram and YouTube videos published Tuesday afternoon, actor's younger brother, Scott Evans, said he had "decided to embarrass my brother further and show he and I goofin' around last weekend." The videos show Chris playing piano and singing backup as Scott covers James Taylor's "Fire and Rain."
At one point, the brothers adorably flubbed the lyrics.
Chris had taken some time off from shooting Captain America: Civil War in Georgia to spend time with his family. "Springtime in Massachusetts is absolute paradise. So GREEN!! #MemorialDayWeekend," he tweeted.
Raised in the town of Sudbury, Mass., Chris has always been close with his three siblings. In fact, the actor has the initials S, C and S—for Scott, Carly Evans and Shanna Evans—tattooed on his right ankle.
The Evans siblings' mom was a dancer and now runs a children's theater. "We all act," Chris told Details in 2012. "We sing. It was like the f--king von Trapps." Growing up, the Avengers: Age of Ultron star told the magazine, his family had a special floor put in the basement so the kids could practice choreography. "My mother was a tap dancer, and as a result, we all grew up with an understanding of tap dancing."
Chris honed his acting skills in the theater, playing Snoopy in his school's production of You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown. "It was a great play. It's got a lot of good songs. It's part of my childhood," he said.
Will Chris ever return to the stage?
"Oh, absolutely," the actor, 33, assured Boston magazine in 2011. "That's a dream. The problem is that it's such a time commitment. Usually theater runs for multiple months, and it's a little tricky right now."
What is it about the stage that's so appealing? "Two things: One, it's your performance. In a film, your director has power over your performance. You're essentially handing your performance over to him, and depending on the way he edits, the music he chooses, the takes he cuts together, a performance can manifest in a lot of different ways. With theater I can give the audience exactly what I want to give them, and that's what they're going to receive," Chris said. "The second thing is the amount of time you get to stay in a character. On film, it's start, stop, start, stop—it's very brief moments of slipping in and out of a character. Onstage, you could be sitting in a character for 40 minutes to an hour, and I think that's—I was going to say that's rare—that never happens in film. And that's just a different experience. It's a different ride as an actor."
