Chris Evans Missed Cannes for Mom’s 70th Birthday—Here’s Why

by

Chris Evans has a packed schedule, as he’s got several exciting movies coming out in 2025, including “Materialists” produced by A24 and “Honey Don’t!” directed by Ethan Coen. It appears that he might be on the move all the time. However, despite this, Evans was absent at Cannes, while his co-star Margaret Qualley and her eye-catching pink dress made a big impression. The lead actor of “Materialists” explains why his schedule conflicted with attending the event, and surprisingly, it’s not related to his professional commitments.

Previously, the star of Captain America has skipped red carpet events due to work commitments, such as the Brave New World premiere. However, his absence from the French film festival is due to a heartfelt personal reason. He shared this on social media, explaining that he regretted not being able to join his cast and that he had to be elsewhere because it was a significant birthday for someone close to him, which he didn’t want to miss. This meant he couldn’t attend the 6.5-minute standing ovation for the latest Coen brothers production.

I regret that I couldn’t join my exceptional team and filmmakers at Cannes, but it was my mother’s 70th birthday – an occasion I simply couldn’t skip! A big congratulations to all! [heart emoji]

I’m thrilled to see the Evans-Capuano family celebrating such significant milestones together! It’s heartening to know that even with their busy careers, moments like these are prioritized. As a fan, it only adds to my admiration seeing Chris Evans jetting off to celebrate his mother’s 70th birthday. Such actions truly show the human side of celebrities and make them even more endearing.

This summer seems set to be an exciting start for him, as the movie “Materialists” from A24, featuring Pedro Pascal, Dakota Johnson, and Evans, is due to premiere in a few weeks. The romantic trailer already created quite a stir, but the anticipation has been amplified by Pascal quoting Pride and Prejudice in an interview. Moreover, the summer’s climax will be marked by “Honey Don’t!”, an upcoming LGBTQ+ film led by Evans, Qualley, Aubrey Plaza, and Charlie Day.

On August 22nd, a nationwide premiere will introduce Ethan Coen and Tricia Cooke’s second collaborative screenplay, titled “Honey O’Donahue.” The story revolves around Honey O’Donahue, played by Qualley, who delves into the suspicious activities of a church leader (Evans). It promises to be an engaging watch, and I’m eager for its release in cinemas. However, I find myself intrigued about Evans’ attendance or if there are other engagements that may have kept him from attending the stylish Cannes event.
