Hollywood is radically different for men: Chris Evans

“Captain America: Civil War” star Chris Evans says Hollywood is a "radically different landscape" for men.
On the talk show “Chelsea”, Evans said: "You can&39;t stick your head in the ground like that. Being a guy, it&39;s a radically different landscape. I think there is a gender gap that is ubiquitous in Hollywood, and I think a lot of times it&39;s hard to even identify.
"It&39;s not even about the contracts or pay. If you look at that project, there&39;s probably about nine roles... eight guy roles and one girl role. So even before you get to the point of money there&39;s already an issue going on underneath."
The 34-year-old actor previously insisted he doesn&39;t take his own success for granted, reports femalefirst.co.uk.
"I grew up watching the Oscars, so being there makes me appreciate how far I&39;ve come. I can&39;t deny that it&39;s the film industry had an effect, but I think it&39;s a positive one. Instead of trying to figure out how to play the game, I&39;ve come to realise that it&39;s more important to remind myself that I don&39;t have to win today and I don&39;t actually have to play at all.
"Obstacles and hurdles are man-made. I won&39;t say it&39;s not useful to self-reflect, but I realize the part of you that&39;s fuelling the self-reflections actually more akin to your ego than to the situation you&39;re in,” he said.
