“Just Chris Evans looking like a professor from an early 2000s romcom,” one person tweeted, accompanied by an image of the actor at the premiere.
“The hair dye looks ridiculous, accept you are getting old Chris,” read a comment.
Another fan contradicted this by saying, “Chris Evans just gets better with age. We’re not just talking like cheese or wine we’re talking like the most exclusive, desired brandy in existence.”
“Seriously nailing the professor look… I might have gone to university if that’s what I could have expected,” someone joked.
