BREAKING: GIFs Prove Chris Evans Often Touches His Left Pec When Laughing

Late Thursday evening, reports flooded into our Chris Evans New York Bureau, alleging that the 34-year-old actor, perhaps best known for his portrayal of Captain America, often ever-so-gently pats his left pectoral muscle while he laughs.

Given how slow the modern media cycle operates and how little interest the general public has regarding mundane news stories about celebrities, there was virtually no way of knowing whether or not these reports were valid.

However, thanks to a series of GIFs put together by Imgur user coolmcdude , the full force of this critical story can finally be told -- and, in turn, change the very landscape of pop culture journalism as we know it.
