‘The Avengers’ star also thanked his dog Dodger for his contributions in keeping him fit
Chris Evans has shared that he indulges in ‘junk food’ during his downtime from movie sets, but credits his dog Dodger with keeping him ‘very active’ and balanced.
In an interview with ET, the Fantastic Four actor said that, although he keeps himself active between projects, his diet is “probably not as good” as that of his dog, Dodger.
He said, “If the film I’m working on requires a certain level of fitness, then the diet will reflect that, but otherwise, it’s junk food.”
Evans continued, “It’s a lot of love, and a lot of exercise. Dodger leads a very active lifestyle.”
The Avengers star added, ‘He is a big part of the cardio. You know, he loves going on big hikes and rollerblading. Even though he’s 10 years old, he hasn’t lost a step!”
“I keep waiting for his battery to start to dwindle a bit, but our hikes are over an hour every day,” Evans shared.
While filming his 2017 feature Gifted, Evans got Dodger from a shelter, and he said the dog had “exponentially improved” his quality of life.
Evans gushed, “He is an incredibly special dog, and I don’t think it’s possible to stay in a bad mood when he’s around.”
The Gifted star said, “[Adopting him] was one of the most profound experiences I’ve ever had. It was incredibly kismet. I knew right away the second I saw him that he was coming home with me. “
He stated, “Moving forward, I’ll only rescue dogs,’ added Evans. ‘That’s the new approach from now on.”
To note, Chris Evans will next seen in his upcoming movie Red Ones.
