People’s Sexiest Man Alive 2022 Chris Evans reveals his first celebrity crush and his first kiss

Former Captain America Chris Evans discussed his first kiss and celebrity crushes after being crowned People’s Sexiest Man Alive 2022.

‘Maybe [Danica McKellar’s Wonder Years character] Winnie Cooper, maybe Elisabeth Shue, maybe [Soleil Moon Frye’s character] Punky Brewster,’ the Boston-born 41-year-old told the magazine – hitting newsstands this Friday.

As for his first liplock, Chris revealed it was Maggie Sullivan, a popular girl in sixth grade at the middle school near his Sudbury, MA hometown.

‘I feel bad blowing her spot up here, although I think I said it on a talk show [before],’ Evans said.

‘Very magically, after getting the lead [in the school play], one of the cool girls liked me. And what the cool kids did at recess was walk into the woods and kiss.’

The Gray Man action star remains one of the most eligible bachelors in Hollywood after dating Kate Bosworth, Jessica Biel, Emmy Rossum, Jenny Slate, Minka Kelly, Dianna Agroni, Lily Collins, and Christina Ricci.

‘[Marriage] is absolutely something I want,’ Chris noted.

The Boston-born 41-year-old told the mag: ‘Maybe [Danica McKellar’s Wonder Years character] Winnie Cooper (L), maybe Elisabeth Shue (R), maybe [Soleil Moon Frye’s character] Punky Brewster’
