Even Chris Evans needs someone to marvel at.

In a profile about Jeremy Strong published Sunday, Evans told The New Yorker that hes been a fan of the Succession star since childhood.

Evans, who plays Captain America in the Avengers movies, explained to the magazine that his older sister acted in a childrens theater group alongside Strong in his Massachusetts hometown.

I was probably nine, ten, going to my sisters shows, and even then thinking, Damn, this kid is great! Evans said.

Later, Evans, who was a few years younger, attended the same high school as Strong. He described his teenage awe for the upperclassman like Captain America finding a hero of his own.

He was a little bit of a celebrity in my mind, Evans admitted about Strong, who went on to win an Emmy for his portrayal of Kendall Roy in Succession.

The two did high school productions together, and Evans has vivid memories of Strong often stealing the show.
