Chris Evans, renowned for his portrayal of Captain America in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, recently shed light on his absence from the glittering premiere of his latest film, "Honey Don't!", which made its highly anticipated debut at the Cannes Film Festival on Friday evening. The movie, slotted into the Festival's trendy Midnight Screenings section, is set to captivate audiences in theaters later this year.
Despite the film's grand unveiling at the prestigious Grand Théâtre Lumière, where the magic of Cannes unfolds, Evans was notably missing from the screening. Furthermore, he was also unavailable when his fellow stars, Margaret Qualley, Aubrey Plaza, and Charlie Day, gathered for photo opportunities later that day.
In an Instagram post, the actor offered an insightful glimpse into his decision, stating, "My heart was with my extraordinary cast and filmmakers at Cannes, but fate had other plans. It was my mother's 70th birthday—a milestone too precious to overlook! Heartfelt congratulations to everyone involved!"
Meanwhile, Margaret Qualley shines as Honey O'Donahue, a tenacious private detective probing a series of fatalities tied to an enigmatic church in "Honey Don't!". Evans, on the other hand, brings to life a mesmerizing cult leader in this intriguing flick.
