Read our privacy policy Chris Evans may have put down Captain America's shield but he's got a new badge of honor: he's been named People magazine's Sexiest Man Alive. “It’s ripe for harassment.” Among those likely to heckle him are co-stars and previous Sexiest Man Alive winners like Rudd, Ryan Reynolds and Chris Hemsworth. Evans has become a highly bankable star, voicing the Buzz Lightyear character in Pixar's “Lightyear” film and playing a sadistic assassin trying to kill Reynolds in Nextflix's “The Gray Man” — both released this year. The actor told People he's thinking about marriage and having a family, saying, “That’s absolutely something I want.” He said he didn't expect to talk publicly much about his private life though.
