Not all heroes wear cloaks, so we greet Lizzo for doing what few are brave enough to do: slip into Chris Evans ’DMs.
The “Truth Hurts” singer, who has made it clear that Captain America is far from her favorite Chris from Hollywood, revealed that once intoxicated she sent the actor a message on Instagram.
Lizzo’s DM, who funfully entered Evans ’inbox at 5:22 p.m., contained three simple“ 💨🤾🏾♀️🏀 ”emojis, presumably to convey the message of firing your shot.
“Don’t drink DM, kids … for legal porpoises, that’s a joke,” he wrote alongside a shared TikTok post on Saturday.
In the video, Lizzo synchronizes with a TikTok audio by Tatayanna Mitchell in the face of her one-sided speech with Evans. “The reason I’m upset about this is because I know I won’t be able to marry him and it honestly hurts me to the core,” he said, approaching the camera. “Because damn potato, it’s a rare breed, it can’t be compared. How, Chris … ”
The “Avengers” star had not yet responded or even saw Lizzo’s DM at the time he posted the video. But these two share a story of mutual admiration, so maybe Evans is taking the time.
In 2019, the actor again shared a video of a young woman dancing to Lizzo’s hit song “Juice,” writing, “This kid is cooler than I could ever hope to be.”
The Grammy-winning singer took a decidedly more direct approach in a follow-up tweet, and wrote to Evans, “Wow marry me” with an emoji on her face.
Joking about his interaction at the MTV Movie Awards later that month, Lizzo said he was “going home” after discovering that Evans was not attending the ceremony.
“Shit no,” he said when asked if Evans ever responded to his tweet. “It’s Chris Evans. He does not answer. If he answered, I wouldn’t be here right now. It would be a honeymoon.
If Evans ever checks his DMs, this could be a power pair in the creation phase, as the two stars are apparently single at the moment.
He last related to British actor Lily James, while Lizzo made his relationship status clear with a cheeky Instagram last month.
