There’s being close with your mom, and then there’s “racing home” to tell her as soon as you lost your virginity. TheAvengersstar falls into the latter camp, he said onLate Night with Seth Meyers.
Evans said that his parents get the credit for being so cool, he just couldn’t help himself from oversharing. “That’s one of the best things my parents both achieved. Somehow, they felt like my friends,” he said. “You don’t want to be so cool with your parents that you can doanything, but when big things happen, you wanted to share it with them.”
