I live my life in a way that is different from most people, living like I never existed. It never really bothered since it was the path I chose for myself. People enjoy being in the spotlight like it is what defines their essence, I wouldn't judge them it is the life they have chosen for themselves. In my own case I find solace in quiet places, being unseen and unnoticed but yet impactful. I'm the kind of guy that does things without aiming to claim credit for it, it does sounds unusual. It is not as if I'm not ambitious but life just have a different to meaning to me. I mean the significance and impact of what I do is more fulfilling to me than the credit and fame that comes with it.
Can't really say I'm a fan of any celebrity in particular, I just watch movies and listen to music for entertainment purposes only. I mean there are some celebrity that stands out but that has never been my focus. Whenever someone asks, who is your favourite artist? It is kind of a little bit difficult for me to answer and the reason is that I'm all about the movie or music, as long as the movie/music is good that is all I care about. I'm the kind guy that watches a movie and after the movie is over, I can barely remember the names of the characters in the movie but I can narrate the whole play even if it is after a year.
With that being said, it is so obvious that I do not harbour the thought of a favourite celebrity but there is a popular actor whose way of life intrigues me. It is not as if I'm a diehard fan of his but his way of life seems a little bit identical to mine in thoery. Majority of the roles he plays in movies is usually a guy that was nothing but end up becoming something without having any intention of doing so. His life off the stage seems a little bit the same, I mean for actors in his Caliber their entire life is all over the internet like a news story, their relationships, family e.t.c but for this actor it a little bit different.
It is not as if some of the information about his life is not on the internet but he controls the rate at which information about his life is made public, kind of not wanting people to sniff around his private business. He mostly acts superheroes kind of movies, well if I'm being honest I'm a fan of superheroes movies especially the ones with a good story. The first time I came across a movie that involves this actor was around 2006, those were the days when fantastic four was still popular, I so much love that movie but I never truly knew him then till I became a fan of marvel cinemas or should I say I became a fan of marvel movies because of him.
The next movie I saw him was in captain America, I watched that movie till I could remember every act and scenes in the movie, captain America - Civil war, winter soldier till avengers and other movies he acted that weren't superheroes related "Gifted, snowpiercer, push and ghosted" there are other movies he acted but these are ones I have watched. I think by now you already know who I'm talking about, this so called actor is known as "Chris Evans". Like I said I'm a fan of good movies and there is no doubt that this actor is good at what he does. I never really had time to search the internet for information about this actor, all I cared about what his movies. You know that weird instinct that makes you feel like as long as this actor is in a particular movie, the movie must being interesting. That is the kind of vibe I get from Chris Evans.
Last year one thing led to another after I watched a movie called "Warrior Nun" and I find myself searching for information about the lead actress in the movie known as "Alba Baptista". It was actually funny that she happens to be dating Chris Evans. They weregoing about their relationship for more than a year without making it public till they got married last year September. Apart from that you can barely find any history of Chris Evans past relationships on the internet, it was as if he never dated till he met Alba Baptista. Which is kind of weird, it is either he is good with keeping information about his life away from the internet or he doesn't get involved with people.
I was reading a magazine about him and there was a statement used to define is character which is "quietly". Which means he does most of his things quietly, for an actor with that kind of fame, he was still able to marry quietly. He was able to separate his career life from his personal life, not getting carried away by social media buzz. I wouldn't call him a role model of mine but compared to most actor in his Caliber, I still prefer Chris Evans on stage and off stage personality.
