Chris Evans Skips Cannes 2025 Because… He’s a Certified Mama’s Boy and Proud of It 💅

Buy Me A Coffee

While the rest of Hollywood was busy being glamorously mysterious on the red carpet at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, Mr. America’s Sweetheart himself—Chris Evans—was nowhere to be found. Tragic? Yes. Scandalous? We wish. But the real reason? Pure wholesomeness with a side of birthday cake.

Instead of brushing elbows with film snobs and sipping €87 espresso shots in the South of France, our beloved Cap was lighting candles and passing the potato salad at Mom Evans’ 70th birthday bash. That’s right—Chris ditched the red carpet for some red velvet cake.

In an Instagram Story that probably made the entire internet collectively melt into a puddle of “aww,” the 43-year-old actor spilled the tea on why he skipped the world’s fanciest film party:

“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!”

Translation: “Sorry Europe, but Mama raised a gentleman—and also she made lasagna.”

Meanwhile, his Honey Don’t! co-stars—Margaret Qualley, Aubrey Plaza, and Charlie Day—held it down in Cannes, doing press and looking fabulous while Chris was presumably helping his mom figure out how to connect her Bluetooth speaker.

And let’s be real, only Chris Evans could turn down Cannes and still come off looking like the internet’s boyfriend. Again.

The film Honey Don’t!—hitting theaters August 22—is a spicy dark comedy where Qualley plays Honey O’Donahue, a small-town private eye investigating suspicious church-related deaths. It’s giving murder, mystery, and probably at least one Aubrey Plaza eyebrow raise that could kill a man.

So, was Chris Evans at Cannes?
No.
Was he being iconic anyway?
Absolutely.
Did his mom have the best 70th birthday of all time?
You KNOW it.

Happy birthday, Mrs. Evans. You raised a legend—and clearly a man who knows family > France.
