Chris Evans is causing quite a stir on social media…again.
The Lightyear actor recently gave an interview to Access Hollywood that has sent Twitter and TikTok users into a thirst spiral. But it’s not what Evans said in the short red-carpet clip that is gaining fans’ attention, it’s how he said it. In fact “Chris Evans Boston accent” is currently a trending search on Twitter thanks to a few simple words: “Mustache or no mustache? Be honest.”
Check out the clip, which went viral on TikTok on June 9:

Of course, some people were not so overwhelmed with thirst that they couldn’t spare a moment to be impressed by Evans’s acting prowess. “Chris Evans is a much better actor than I previously thought if he’s been hiding this thick ass Boston accent the whole time,” comedian Becca O'Neal wrote.

Not to be left out of the conversation, Lizzo took to TikTok to share her own reaction to the viral moment. “🗣CALLING A TOWN HALL🔔🔔🔔,” she captioned a video of her own flustered response to Chris Evans talking about facial hair.

Of course, Lizzo and Chris Evans have a bit of history that dates back to April 2021. Deep into lockdown, Lizzo direct-messaged Captain America on Instagram and shared the tipsy moment on TikTok, writing “Don’t drink and DM, kids.” After Evans responded, the two struck up a flirty social media banter that escalated when the singer began joking about having a baby with the Marvel actor.
“This is something that I’ve been really trying to keep personal and private between me and the father of my child,” she said in the now famous TikTok video. “But since we’re airing out all the rumors today, I’ve been sucking in. We’re gonna have a little America!”
Evans reached out to Lizzo on Instagram over direct message, writing, “Hi! Just heard about our little bundle of joy. My mother will be so happy lol.”
Now it’s time to wait and see what Chris Evans goes viral for next. We have a feeling it’s going to involve puppies.
