[edit] Strange line

"Evans grew up the son of a dentist and a dancer."

This line is quoted in every single article about Chris Evans, without exception. His father is indeed a dentist, and his mother was once employed as a dancer, but anyone who knows the family enjoys laughing at this oft-repeated line. Chris' mother has been many things - including an extremely devoted matriarch and the former executive director of an important youth theater company - but this simplistic, alliterative phrase is rather absurd, like saying the child of a war veteran, born years after the conflict, grew up "the son of a soldier".

However, without sources to corroborate anything different than that, that line needs to remain that way. --Vizcarra 02:06, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] born in Sudbury?

"Evans was born in Sudbury, Massachusetts."

Sudbury has no hospital. The neighboring towns of Concord, Framingham and Marlborough all have hospitals. This should be corrected. Unless, of course, circumstances caused his birth to occur in Sudbury.

[edit] sex symbol?

"Chris Evans is more recently gaining notoriety as a sex symbol, he was voted "third Hottest Body of the Year" on Gay.com."

So Evans is considered a sex symbol because he was voted as being hot on a gay website? Perhaps if he were gay, I could see the relevance.

The tone of this comment seems slightly homophobic, in that he apparently has to be gay himself before gay fan interest matters? It's a poorly constructed critique if anything. Nonetheless, being voted something by a gay website does seem like a piece of trivia more so than vital information, unless there were a string of further examples maybe. --70.119.241.160 19:19, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] not really italian?

he came in Italy to promote "F4 II" and he never said he's part italian... very often italian american actors say it, for a lot of good reasons, so imho it's better controlling the sources where it's written he's half italian... .--70.119.241.160 19:19, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

Ich bin ein Italiener? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.107.83.19 (talk) 06:06, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

Sources for him being both Irish and Italian. How hard is that to believe?
