'Captain America: Civil War' star Chris Evans says Hollywood is a "radically different landscape" for men.On the talk show 'Chelsea', Evans said: "You can39t stick your head in the ground like that. Being a guy, it39s a radically different landscape. I think there is a gender gap that is ubiquitous in Hollywood, and I think a lot of times it39s hard to even identify."It39s not even about the contracts or pay. If you look at that project, there39s probably about nine roles... eight guy roles and one girl role. So even before you get to the point of money there39s already an issue going on underneath."The 34-year-old actor previously insisted he doesn39t take his own success for granted, reports femalefirst.co.uk."I grew up watching the Oscars, so being there makes me appreciate how far I39ve come. I can39t deny that it39s the film industry had an effect, but I think it39s a positive one. Instead of trying to figure out how to play the game, I39ve come to realise that it39s more important to remind myself that I don39t have to win today and I don39t actually have to play at all."Obstacles and hurdles are man-made. I won39t say it39s not useful to self-reflect, but I realize the part of you that39s fuelling the self-reflections actually more akin to your ego than to the situation you39re in,' he said.
