Marvel actor Chris Evans is doing the press rounds for his upcoming film, Materialists, in which he stars opposite Dakota Johnson and Pedro Pascal.
In the film, he plays a struggling actor, and though these days Evans is one of the biggest stars in Hollywood, he remembers a time that he was still really working hard to get the next job.
Evans told IMDb that in the beginning of his career, he auditioned for the 2003 film The Dreamers, from director Bernardo Bertolucci. He described the awful process, saying:
“The Dreamers. I had a horrible experience at that audition. It was [the] early 2000s, and it was the movie everybody wanted. I went and had to audition. I sat in this audition room waiting with like 15 other guys for hours! I finally walk in the room, I open the door, and the casting director looked up, and he was like ‘Nope. Nope, nope, nope.’ I was like ‘Oh, Jesus.’ [pretends to cry].”
That is rough! I bet it’s tough to be solely judged on your appearance time after time. It takes a lot of chutzpah to continue that process in the hopes that you get your big break. It all paid off for Evans though, who went on to play Captain America in the MCU, and play several other roles in successful series and films.
Evans film Materialists hits theatres this weekend, and his next film Honey, Don’t! will be released in theatres on August 22nd.
