Chris Evans & Scarlett Johansson - Actors on Actors - Full Conversation

They're both such great listeners. Scarlett takes longer to express her self, yet Chris doesn't interrupt her like a lot of guys would. I love that. He also seems comfortable expressing his intellectual side with her because she clearly gives him space to do so. It's nice to see them out of character, just being themselves and enjoying each other's company.

These two should do a podcast together I could listen to them talk all day.

The way Scarlett looks at Chris is so precious.Their friendship is so inspiring for me because I would like to have such a real friendship.I love these people so so much.Such an inspiration.

I'm really disappointed that most people only think of Scarlett Johansson as a sex symbol when she very clearly is a very intelligent person with a lot of insight in the industry. I wish more people would give her the respect that she deserves.

The fact that it took 3 different people to convince Chris Evans after he rejected the role twice meant that he was so perfect for it that they couldn’t ask anyone else.

25:57 makes me smile so much because you can see the way Scarlett looks at Chris like she loves and treasures him in a platonic way but it's so great because you can see her understanding how passionate he is about buddhism and their beliefs and that gets me every time because she understands him on another level to see how happy he is when he talks about what he enjoys.

The interview feels genuine and not forced. The questions and interaction is so natural and you can tell they like eachother's company. I love their friendship and I hope it won't be ruined by idiots.

Scarlett really is the full package, she's so intelligent and talented but she doesn't take her job for granted. You can see how much of a hard worker and how down to earth and humble she really is. I love the friendship and how supportive and respectful they are of each other!

I love how they talk about Chris's insecurity with asking for more takes. She is surprised, but gets him to elaborate about it and work through the issue, instead of him just letting the fear settle there on his shoulders. Then she gives a bit of advice. It feels less like an interview and more of just a talk between friends on the set of Chris's new movie.

Chris Evans: exceptional vocabulary
Also Chris Evans: I don't wike it

This is by far one of my favorite duos. Their friendship is so pure and underrated. I love how much they support each other on camera and behind the scenes. The fact that Scarlett was one of his few actor friends to watch his play performance is so freakin adorable. I love how both of them just sit there and listen so attentively to one another. I especially love how Chris is very vocal and intellectually invested on what Scarlett was talking to him about. Plus he’s a very great speaker as well. This is the most wholesome interview I’ve ever seen. Love these two together, honestly ❤️🥰👏🏽

yes i just watched 40 minutes of chris evans and scarlett johansson having a conversation and I don't regret it

Normally this interviews are with actors who support and respect each other, but in this case you can see two actual friends.

Their friendship is so genuine and beautiful because of their genuineness. I loved how direct, clear, and specific Scarlett's compliments were. I also loved how she went to his play. Chris also emphasized that she was his only actor friend to go. That loyalty and support is amazing and literal fire. I loved seeing them on screen together and now I can tell why I loved them together so much. Their connection is so there. Looking forward to more from them.

They never once step on each others toes verbally. They always share the conversation equally. Theres a lot of trust between these two and it shows with this simple fact. Conversations with friends are so lovely and wonderful. I miss my friends.

5:50 Chris being a savage: "I don't know if you were there....cause you DIED." Love seeing their friendship off screen!

It can’t just be me who could listen to them talk for hours without getting bored. They have such a great chemistry as friends and actors and even a year later I’m still coming back to this interview.

Chris is so wise. When he said the audience comes to see themselves I really felt that. The way they both interacted with each other in this was refreshing to be honest. Scarlett is so amazingly talennted and insightful. You can tell how much respect they have for each other. Their friendship is so special. :)))

An actual, mature conversation between two adults, who are friends, showing patience, kindness, and respect. A beautiful thing to witness.

chris is so genuine and humble, and also very relatable. like he makes us feel that he's just one of us. that life is real and doesn't let wordly things go into his head. what a guy, hard not to love.

This was fantastic. I love the professionalism, chemistry, and friendship between them

This is a really great interview. Both actors definitely respect and admire one another. I hope they get a film that they can work on that is not comics-related or a rom com. Just something that we could get them on together again. I think it will be something good because they just work well together. Plus their actor’s chemistry is sooo good. Their friendship is so golden that it bleeds right through. I think this 2 had great conversations all the time.
Hoping for a Chris and Scarlett film in the future. 😊

My favorite quote by Chris Evans is "They don't come to see me, they come to see themselves" there is such a deeper truth in that statement that the gift of acting gives us the mirror, to both see who we are and who we can be.

This feels like a 40 min therapy session with 2 of my favorite actors 😂

Didn't expect to watch the entire 40 minutes but I did. The power of brilliant actors who actually have a genuine friendship.

I love their friendship! This was such a natural, fluid conversation so you can tell that they are so comfortable in each other’s company and genuinely like each other. The Marvel movies are some of my favourites. Everything moves in and out of phases and I think there is room for everyone. We all need to escape our reality sometimes and in different ways. Marvel with its magic and the alternate reality of that with superheroes that can save us all is an amazing escape.

they're both such great conversationalists. there's so much depth to this simple conversation and they're both so level with each other, i wouldn't be surprised if this is only one of the many other things they talk about in their decade long friendship. undeniable respect for them both, because you can tell they both have so much of it for each other too. chris especially is such an interesting person to talk to i think, for his expansive but still understandable articulation of his real time thoughts alone. i know the bar is low for men but tbh its an underrated form of respect for him to sit thru her stuttering bec i myself get frustrated with people like that & probably would've expressed it more than once if not as a reflex, but he didnt do it not once so u can tell he genuinely has waited for her to verbally process her words in all their conversations

I will always remember them as Cap and Black Widow. However, Chris Evans & Scarlett Johansson seem like real down to earth people and make great movies outside of Marvel as well. Marriage Story was a great movie.

On a personal note, as someone whose first language isn't English, Chris's eloquence in expressing his thoughts is superb. He has excellent vocabulary and even observes correct grammar rules (Scarlett does too) which we know can be ignored in spoken English.
This is such a substantive conversation. Both of them are good speakers and listeners. I wish I could find one. 😔

"you never judge the character you play" i love that. as an aspiring actress i know how true that is. one of the things that
i've learned from 5 years of acting is that you can't judge the character and that honestly rubs off into my real life. i don't judge anyone and i've kind of forgotten that people are actually really judgemental to people

I'm only gonna say two things:
1. God bless the one who convinced Chris Evans to play Captin America.
2.God bless the one who set this Interview.

Can we please get Tom Hiddleston and Chris Hemsworth together on this. It'd be so good hear them talk together about literally everything.

I"m glad they talked about theatre - we are an ENTIRELY different medium, not everyone has the emotional and physical stamina to create every single day in moment in front of a new audience. You don't get the pleasure of stopping and looking back at what you did, you only have THAT MOMENT on stage w/ the audience and fellow actors. It's difficult and beautiful all at the same time.

Use me as a "Scarlett Johansson got robbed at the oscars" Button

So enjoyable. Love that Scarlett really encouraged Chris to open up. It's nice to see these two as they sort of really are.

Such a great video/interview. Is there - or will there be - an extended cut? It feels like there's so much more these two could talk about and maybe did? But either way, thank you for making this happen and allowing us to watch it. I wish Chris and Scarlett all the best.

"The audience doesn't come to see you, they come to see themselves"-Chris Evans

Everyone commenting on their friendship and I can't take my eyes off Scarlett's gorgeous golden heels

Remembering when they first met:
Scarlett--"It was so long ago..."
Chris--"2002."
Chris probably has that moment burned into his soul.

Scarlet is an icon. she is honestly the full package an inspiration to young actors or to all young women going for hard work and success .Chris also is a true professional and not just good looks.

you know, you see these two people portrating different characters on screen every now and then, being only interested in the movie, that you forget they are genuinly amazing artists. and people too. Scarlett and Chris are a proof of this. they are both so passionate and caring it’s just so inspiring.

The marriage story was amazing and so painful to watch and yet it was beautiful.... They were both incredible to watch. They both deserves a Oscar...

Marriage Story is Scarlett's best performance ever. She deserves the Oscar more than anything.

One of the best ones yet. I think its more rewarding to watch people that have worked together and have chemistry then putting two random actors together

A few years ago, I thought Chris Evans didn't talk much about his personal life because he parties a lot and is a player and maybe, because of his role in the public eye, some of that has transferred to him. But at the core, it shows that he's clearly thought deeply about the world and his role in it, and his own demands on himself and his life. He can articulate himself fantastically and shares so many rare insights into his thoughts. The public labels him far too easily, he has so much to offer beyond his career. The conversations with Scarlett show how intelligent they both are and how little platform there is in normal interviews to show their true personalities.

I wish there was something like this when they were relatively just starting on acting just so we can compare, but even then it's such a delight to see them grow both as friends and actors. I specially love how we can feel how their deep respect for each other is.

nunca assisti uma entrevista tão longa com atores, mas essa foi uma experiência muito gostosa; eu não conhecia Chris e Scarlett fora dos papéis, e percebi que são muito honestos mas com gentileza de pensar antes de falar, cuidadosos mesmo; eu amei essa minha primeira vez e por causa deles vou assistir mais entrevistas... eles são completamente diferentes do que imaginei e eu adorei isso, muito bom mesmo 💜

I always wanted these two be together but this interview really made me love the brother and sister dynamic that they have always had.

"she is my only actor friend who actually came to see the play" awwwwwww I LIVE FOR THESE TWO

I love Chris. I got to interview him once and he is so unaffected and very humble. And I love Scarlett too. Her voice is so awesome and she seems cool too. And I hated Endgame - they killed half the flipping cast. My whole audience was bawling out eyes out and it made us feel shitty. We did not feel happy about that ending.

I could see both of them getting into production and directing. This was such a good interview, so insightful and honest.

That panoramic shot of the avengers "assembling" in the first film still gives me chills when it happens, you guys killed it 👍

2 years later listening to Chris Evans talk about not ruining Steve Rogers is so heartwarming, but also gives me a lot of hope since he could play a DIFFERENT steve rogers from a different universe now lol

After watching this interview first and then watching others, I just wanted to say how GOOD this conversation was. It felt very natural and they were very equal and on the same page. I liked there questions and even the flow. ❤️

i never realised how well spoken chris was. he truly has such a way with words and even though his vocabulary is little extensive for me (i’m young lol) i can still understand what he says because of how articulate he is. it’s nice to see him let his guard down a little and have a genuine conversation with not only a great actor but friend.

It's interesting to see the difference in confidence levels here. Two very talented people, Scarlet is so invested and sure of her talent while Chris is more insecure and tentative with it. The dynamic is interesting to watch.

Dynamic duo! Thank you Variety for this series. We love Chris' take on theatre as "building little sandcastles" every night that the ocean washes away.

I love how upfront and honest Chris Evans is, he's such a standup guy. As real as it gets.

These 2 have been in many movies together. They’re both wonderful people and talented actors. Watching them just chatting kinda humanizes them. I feel like we often see them as “Stars” and it makes them something else. Seeing them as people, sometimes vulnerable or imperfect makes me like them more.

I love this. Thank you Variety for making this possible. Scarlett and Chris really have great chemistry. I love them~

This is why the Marvel movies succeeded. They gave the parts to actors who cared about the characters they played.

The Marriage story was such a good movie, and the acting was amazing.

The amount of times these two wonderful human beings said "I wonder" or "I'm curious" genuinely revealed how much they care. About something beyond their own self-interests

How can you NOT love Chris Evans

Easy to see why their on screen chemistry is amazing. They genuinely like each other.

The way they both were gushing over Taika made me so happy! 💛 Taika is finally getting the recognition he deserves. Fell in love with his work back in 2010 with ‘Boy’.

Scarlett is such a sweet woman. She doesn't deserve the hate she has received on social media.

To have that special connection, the friendship bond that these two have had over years time. Is truly incredible. I've had two close friends in my life for alil over 20 years and it really is something so special. This interview was great between Scarlett and Chris, you can clearly see they have such interest in each other.

You can tell that these two are genuine friends. They are both very generous in this interview and supportive of one another.

their friendship is unmatched. i love watching how they act around each other and they are just so comfortable :)

i have so much respect for chris for his acting philosphy. his greatest role for me to date has been his more low stakes roles like snowpiercer and the gifted

What an amazing interview. Great to witness how deeply they feel and think about every perspective of their profession. I’ve become a fan of both today.

Chris Evans being insecure about his art is honestly the most encouraging thing ever

He's right. Cap and Black Widow have completed their arc. Such talented actors

I love how much passion and respect they have for the Marvel movies.

Great interview! I love the authenticity, and I didn't know these two have known each other for so long! The one thing that gets me is the whole "One thing about Marvel, they don't do cash grabs. They care." line didn't age well now that we're in the disappointment that is phase 4 lmbo.

i like how chris is actually hearing what she’s saying and not just nodding at scarlett he’s a great listener

If they had kids, those kids would be insanely beautiful.

So much to learn from this. One massive thing is the eye contact and respect they have for eachother. They let eachother speak and listen intently. They aren't thinking about their dinner tonight or what they gotta do, they are putting their entire focus on who's in front of them. That's how a conversation should be.

Love this conversation between these two friends. I happened to be in the audience for Lobby Hero the night Scarlett saw it. She walked past us at intermission and I fangirled (quietly). I agree with her that Chris was "in the pocket" that night. I'm a big fan of his, but still got lost enough in the performance that he frightened me at one point when his character was threatening the female officer "partner". I went to the play because he was in it, I confess, but I understand what he means about the audience wanting to see themselves & explore how they might navigate fictional situations. The audience was super sympathetic to Michael Cera's character. LH is up there on my list of his fave performances, with Snowpiercer (an under-distributed film caught up in studio producer power politics) at the top w CATWS. Listening to him talk about hesitating to ask for more takes, etc. makes me think he needs a supercharged bit of self-confidence like Downey got fr the role of Tony Stark. Part of what audiences responded to w RDJ/TS was Downey's JOY in the role. CE showed glimmers of that in CATWS, a film where it felt like he and the audience both fell in love with Steve Rogers.

Every time I think of how much I love them I’m about to start crying

Amo a Scarlett Johansson. Su voz, sus gestos, 😍😍😍

It's music to my ears how articulate Chris Evans is. This is the type of content I want to see of my favourite people instead of negative gossips about them.

i like the fact that they are so intrigued by the work that they have done outside of the marvel world as if it’s something that’s never been talked abt before

Awesome to see childhood friends just having a talk about their careers, and after their time under the Marvel Studios umbrella. One of the best Actors on Actors episodes to date.

As MCU fan, I watched this a year ago and as a Pixar fan I decided to watch this again because, on 39:45 onwards, I was intrigue when Chris Evans talked on how Pixar cares knowing he doesn't have any projects from Pixar then after a year ago, he was announce to be the voice lead of the upcoming movie of Pixar which is LIGHTYEAR!!! so that means he's working on Pixar by that time. SO EXCITED FOR THIS!!!

Probably my favorite Actors on Actors. They're so at ease with each other. Great questions were asked and answered. It definitely felt more like a conversation. It felt honest.

This interview is my favourite, they both let us in so nicely!!

What Chris said is pretty sad because it's true. When you do your job well, and you play a villain, all you're gonna get is hatred. You're not gonna get any of the sympathetic "awwh"s or "ooh"s you're just gonna get people that relate to you as the person in their life that they hate the most. And I guess it's a good thing because he's doing his job well, but still. Feels bad man.

One of the most top tier platonic friendships out there 👊

Chris Evans is the ideal man. He's attentive, articulate, empathetic and humble. You can't help but be drawn to his personality. ❤

I want so badly for them to work together again

The respect that they share for each other is so genuine and equal that it is somewhat mesmerizing.

I love what they touch on in this discussion and what Chris was mentioning about finding good material to go off of and create a film. I think its within me to come up with some creative ideas and stories not told before. I don't know if anything I wrote would get into Chris Evans hands, but I would love to see him direct again. I've enjoyed a lot of indie films that feel original that take me to a place I have not been before. Even movies similar to Blaire witch project. Everyone would say, well your watching a knock off, but since I never saw Blaire Witch at the time I thought it was really inventive. Because I had nothing to go off of that I had seen before. It was all new to me.
I remember watching the movie Archive and I thought it was exceptionally well made for the budget it had. It was a similar idea to Ex Machina, which I still haven't seen, but if I did I hope to find something unique in each that I would enjoy.

I feel like at some point at least one of them might have had a crush on the other but the other wasn‘t interested or emotionally available, and they remained friends. In general, I feel like these two are genuinely friends and the closest among the MCU cast. They probably still frequently contact each other even though the Marvel contract is over.

I hope they realize how adored they are, such successful actors, but truly adored for bringing our characters to life. All Marvel Fans everywhere absolutely adore these actors. Thank you, thank you, thank you. For fans like me who were ten year old kids sitting under a tree at recess reading Marvel comics, thank you.

"Audiences dont come to see you, they come to see themselves" - Chris Evans

I like Chris Evans as an actor and a human being I was fan since Fantastic Four when I was a kid. I wish he has more confidence to himself cause he deserves it and honestly I want to see him more active and more often on movies or even TV shows

I honestly feel like they should be the way they are. Some relationships are best meant to be the way they are. They are real true friends and taking it to next level might change whole damn thing because marriage is complicated. I crave this particular kind of relationship in my life where you don't have any obligations whatsoever. There's love, there's respect, there's affection and that makes it so beautiful.

Very good management of the interview, they treated each other with respect and know each other deeply, well done 👏🏽👏🏽
