Even Captain America copes with the pressures of social anxiety.

Chris Evans, 34, is among 15 million American adults who suffer from social anxiety, according to statistics from the Anxiety and Depression Association of America (ADAA).

Evans revealed that his form of anxiety tends to set in the second his feet touch the red carpet. 

“It’s a little nerve-racking,” Evans said in an interview with Rolling Stone. “You’re in the SUV with your family, your people. And then you have to pull over in some weird parking lot and do the swap. There’s security and all these people. All of a sudden you’re out of your comfort zone. It’s strange.”
