Chris Evans' mother totally reads AfterElton

In his new interview with The Advocate, AfterElton fave Chris Evans notes that he's well aware of his stellar showing on our Hot 100, thanks to his mom:

This may come as quite a shock, but gay men enjoy you.

I was well aware of that. I remember my mother saying, “Chris, do you know you’re #2 on some gay list [AfterElton.com’s Hot 100]. Brad Pitt is #12!” I was like, “What?!” I couldn’t believe it.

That was 2007. I hate to break bad news, but you dropped to #8 in ’08.

Aww, that’s outrageous! Who took my spot?

I forget, but Jake Gyllenhaal was #1 for both years.

What? Jake? Unacceptable. [Laughs]

Actually, Mama Evans may have heard about Chris's ranking from his brother, Scott, who is gay. Chris says that he hangs out mostly with Scott and his gay pals, who he calls "f*cking hilarious" and "the funniest people I know", but he's had to draw the line at going to gay bars for the whole tabloid photo concern. Sad to see that Evans is missing out on Musical Mondays and Drag Queen Bingo, but nice to see that he's tickled by his gay fanbase.

Here's to #1 in 2009, Human Torch!
