Captain America is losing his hairChris Evans seemed to have a full head of hair when he swung by Comic-Con last July (as seen in the picture above), but the “Captain America” actor says he’s losing his locks. Evans told E! at Sunday’s MTV Movie Awards that it’s actually making him a little worried about how he’ll pull off his superheroic duties as the franchise continues. “I have no problem saying this, but I'm losing my hair,” Evans said. Considering that the actor, who turns 30 on Monday, signed on to do three "Captain America" movies as well as three "Avengers" movies, “The fear is this [role] can span 10 years so I can be doing this character until I’m 40.” The character's “supposed to be like this superior human being. He can’t be balding," Evans said. "How horrible would it be if this superior man has male pattern baldness?” The one thing he’s not stressed about, though, is losing Captain America’s beefy physique. “That I can control,” he assured E!.

You're still gonna be really hot though, Chris.
I do accept as true with all the ideas you've offered for your post. They are really convincing and can definitely work. Nonetheless, the posts are very quick for newbies. May just you please extend them a little from subsequent time? Thanks for the post.
Bald guys have big shlongs....I should know, I'm balding and I have a big shlong.
ugh i love this man
Chris Evans, we heard you were interested in trying a sample of Rogaine.
I shaved my ass last night so its bald. Well so is my shaven Coo-terHole.
I am a bald lady and i rock ! You should see my beard and cool tattoos ! The carnival folks say I am the best !
Im sorry but Im a Marine and Ive seen bald Marines tougher, and meaner than this guy. More superior than simulating war and combat in a movie. Nothing against him, just saying.
Also no I am not bald, this guy has nothing to worry about, he can still be superior if hes bald. Just get used to it
Humans are lame
Superficial hollywood doesnt he know the worlds ending next year? Then again maybe hes a member of the church of scientology with tom and will, they will prob survive being more advanced then the rest. They surely will be beamed up before disaster happens. They will need mission impossible 18 up there after all.
Hi. Guys I am six foot tall and five inches I work out every day and just start going bald im am getting more come ons than ever girls even do things like drop keys when they see me coming and say stuff like oh my keys and after I pick them up they give me the number or they ask for mine and everytime I call them they are like would you like to come over so girls love it when you start loosing your hair I was with this girl for four hours one time and all she did is scream and talked about my hair even after all she wanted to do is play with my hair so girls like men that are going bald they love the extra hang time and the extra extra longgggggg. KicKkkkkkk a man like me gives them.
Less hair = more testosterone! I'm 50 and bald, but I don't need Viagra. I know guys my age with hair that have to take pills to get it up. WHICH
@Dave. You are just being a racist. We are way smarter than you in other ways. I for one am a very tallented basketball player and my wife is a translator. I bet you cant do cool stuff like that. Plus i speak mexikin very fluently. I know many mexikin words. Ole, sombrero, chiquita, numero, frijole, plus dozens more. Yes i know i am fantastic and my life is one most only dream of. Us tallented people rule !
Let me tell you about the real magic here. I can be feeling down in the dumps, like i am the most ignorant person around, then spend five minutes reading the comments on nearly any blog, and feel like i belong in mensa. Thank you, mental midgets. Oh, i am so sorry. I meant mental little people. Must be pc these days, after all.
Correction fourties not flurries. dang predictive text.
Sounds like he's found the true american way to be a super hero (steroids). explains this whole story. man in his thirties not worried about loosing muscle when entering his flurries, and he's going bald. not saying its conclusive but that is the way alot of these guys get rdy for these big muscle movies, troy just as an example.
U know what keeps me up at night? Wondering whether i can sleep. Will i be asleep in 15 min? Will it take half an hour? After half an hour passes...will it be another half hour? Or an hour? Or 10 min? Dammit! Next thing i know its light outside! Sigh.
Honestly, there is really nothing to talk about here. People and their craze with fantasy. It's a make believe super hero! This is what keeps up at night? Time to get jobs and contribute to society...
Because they have to be doing the yardwork. Maybe there could be a Hispanic superhero called The Gardener or Pinestraw Man.
Y can't there be a Spanish person as a super hero?
I hate the fact that he is portraying two different superheroes.
This news piece is out of this world incredible! I don't know wht it's not a Top Stort! This is obviously a terrible case of baldism! CNN shouldgbe ashaned!
Wouldn't it be great if someone could invent some sort of hair contraption that can be put on a bald head to fool others into thinking the person is not bald? I really really hope someone figures it out for Captain America's sake!
I'm bald downstairs. It got to a point where I said enough is enough will all the hair. What did it was when one night I past out drunk and my gf braided it and put these beads in it and pretended it to be a white bob marley.
A lot of women think going bald is hot... Little girls think its gross... Depends who you're trying to impress I guess..
Captain America is suppose to be 6'3" 240. How this toothpick got the part I have no idea. Plus he already played Johnny Storm. Marvel what are you doing?
This is a bit off topic but have natural male enhancement drugs available for half price (602)621-3688
so this is like the 10th celebrity i've seen accused of felating animals on these boards. i just hope the little kid posting this stuff doesnt live on, or near a farm. there really are alot of people who need SERIOUS HELP out there.
i saw this guy orally pleasing A donkey at a show in Juarez in '01. he had the biggest smile on his face and one of the biggest hard ons i've ever seen (he was wearing track pants). he licked his lips and left the stage
Captain America's origin is not being tough enough to fight in WWII so he gets experimental steroids and becomes Captain America. Steroids and testosterone contribute to baldness. Could it be spun as a negative portrayal of performance enchancing drugs lol? (just kidding for those with no sarcasm detectors...)
Use ROGAINE!
@Fitz, I think you are on to something! How about a bald super hero that blinds criminals with his or her chrome dome. Hey here it goes, Chrome Dome Man!
LOL LOL LOL! TOO CUTE!!!!!!
God made few perfect head, the rest he put hair on. Why can't the superior man be bald?!!!
He's worried about his appearance in a CG-dominated movie? What's next, an actor wondering how he can stop bullets? What a dolt.
Lmao!
Sean Connery wore a hairpiece in every Bond movie he was in. I'm sure Evans will get implants or plugs or something if it gets bad and the franchise is successful.
Just get a rug and call it good. Shatner and Danson wear 'em. Lorne Greene wore one. Sam Jackson's bald. He's da man.
Plus I want a magic Mormon undershirt so my stomach wont be so giant ! mormon power !
A mormon hat is a magic hat only mormons can wear. It would make him smarter and give him greater super powers ! YES !
Mormons are just plain funny ! Plus they are great !
I'm a bald-o. Most ladies would agree, its not how much hair you have on your head but how you use it that counts.
Hair or no hair Chris Evans is fit & hot id still shag him! he can shave it off i don't care he is so shagtastic!
Theres always that aerosol hair in a can !
I am a mormon never knew I had a magic hat.
I'm amused by the fact that he's more worried about Cap'n America might be going bald, and doesn't seem at all bothered by the fact that HE is going bald.
Now THAT is funny!
Wow people!
Everyone who commented completely missed the actor's point. He did not opine as to whether balding was good or bad. He was simply making a statement in regard to his ability to depict the character that he signed on to play for the next ten years, and casting doubt, while showing optimism on the prospect of him keeping the role!
READ, PEOPLE, READ!!!!!
Ugggghhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Geez! READ PEOPLE, READ!
I like reading.
And I like kittens, too.
No....he said that his character is supposed to be a superior being and thus shouldn't be balding. This does imply that bald people aren't fit to immitate a superior person... But it's no biggie cause the vast majority of men think going bald is a negative thing... A lot of women think it's hot though... You'd be surprised
@ conservative chick- right! and then you are totally turned off and go get more beer and find a younger guy!
guys who are balding always hide it with hats and then they look twenty years older when they take it off!
Says that fat chick.
He is just hot, bald or not.?
must be the steroids he used to bulk up for the role....lame
Or just, y'know, genetics.
Going bald means you have higher levels of testosterone so it would make sense that captain america would be bald or going bald. But i'm sure they want this movie to be a hit with all the gays so they will get someone with hair.....gotta look good in the suit for the gays
He's obviously never heard of another bald Captain who was a brilliant hero.....Captain Picard from Star Trek!!
With all the CG in this movie, I'm certain the film makers can fill in any thin spots with a little computer magic.
Captain Baldy lol!
Silly concern. Male pattern baldness is caused by two things: a modified gene on the X chromosome, and the presence of testosterone. Going bald confirms that you have lots of testosterone. The same thing that lets you build big muscles also thins the hair on your scalp (if you also have that modified gene on the X chromosome). Besides, many of the superior beings in the Marvel universe are bald. And what's common to all descriptions of superior "extraterrestrials"? They're all bald.
That has to be the GREATEST comment I've ever read. I've never even thought about commenting prior to this. I even heard Patrick Stewart saying it in my mind, well played Maur!
...says the bald guy.
Male pattern baldness-pure Alpha-male........just saying.........;)
It never knew captain america was part of the fantastic 4!
He's not
Bald people have no class. They disgust me. Grow some hair you wimps! Wasn't the silver surfer bald? Wimp!
Im bald but i just dress like a big older woman and make sassy remarks they should put me in that captin Amurica movee
Good merning. Woo child.
Its ok. He can wear a ballcap. Or maybe even a Mormon hat. Them things are magic !
What the hell is a Mormon hat? You're such a troll nancy. Whats with your obsession with Mormons these days... wierd!
I have to say, i think its great an actor (or actress) can admit their "imperfectness" Most people in hollywood cover it up & lie bout it. Isnt it strange everyone in hollywood is perfect.....head to toe!
No worries Evans. You'll just go the way of Jason Statham and those hair people can do wonders.
Is he implying that people who are balding are less "superior" than those with a full head of hair?
Yes he is.
Yes. And he's right!
Yes..yes he is. Get used to being inferior chrome dome lulz
@pianonotes....
shut up.... who the hell cares what he is implying....get a life and find something else to point out...something with more significance...moron
Absolutely not! He's implying on his character.
No, he's saying that it'll be detrimental to the appearance of a comic book character that he's already been raked over the coals for not resembling so perfectly. Captain America is not depicted as bald – ergo, it's a little problematic for Chris to be bald.
Is he fighting Dr Doom or the Red Skull, I rather Dr Doom fight the Red Skull, but I think Doom would take them both. Not that Nip & Tuck Dr. Doom from the Fantastic Four Movies the Real Dr.Doom from the Uncanny Xmen comic serice. I am Doom freak...
He likes to rodger his own doodee hole with a mailbox post.
Eh... you do know that Dr. Doom is not an X-Men villain, right? He's a fantastic four bad guy.
Too many flame on's! as Johnny Storm...
Lol that sucks for him. Good thing Cap usually has his hair covered
Oprah's 300lb Mistake.
He looks more like Capt GayMerica.
