Pakistan, May 29 -- Chris Evans, the actor best known as Captain America, made headlines this week, not for walking the Cannes red carpet, but for skipping it altogether.

He missed the world premiere of his new film Honey Don't! at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival in order to be with his family.

While co-stars Margaret Qualley and Aubrey Plaza dazzled at the closing night of the prestigious event on 23 May, Evans was notably absent.

The reason? Chris Evans chose to celebrate his mother's 70th birthday instead.

In a heartfelt message shared on Instagram, the Hollywood star explained: "I wish I could've been with my incredible cast and filmmakers at Cannes, but it was my mother's 70th birthday and there are some things you just can't miss!...
