‘Captain America’ Chris Evans Meets Real Hero Dan Crenshaw – And Gets a Surprise

Actor Chris Evans was on Capitol Hill this week, speaking about various issues. It was his encounter with Afghan War veteran and new Congressman Dan Crenshaw (R-TX), however, that’s worth talking about.

For Evans, there were the usual photo ops with members of Congress.

Enjoyed talking with @chrisevans as @VAChair about how we’re leading the way in bipartisanship in the Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committee to ensure our veterans receive the best care. #CaptainAmerica and I also discussed why trade relationships with our neighbors is vital. pic.twitter.com/GxU6iHHXpN

His meeting with Tim Scott (R-SC) even elicited a few Avengers: Endgame jokes.

Honor to meet you, sir. Thank you for taking the time. And if you repeat the secrets I told you about Endgame, Marvel will make sure we BOTH turn to dust. https://t.co/VfAsKpwOaK

When Evans met with Crenshaw, the former Navy SEAL showed off his glass eye, which sports the Captain America shield. He lost his eye to an IED in the Afghan War.

“When Captain America sees your Captain America glass eye. #merica,” Crenshaw tweeted.

Here’s a slightly better look at the “Captain America” eye.

That brought a response from Evans himself on Twitter. “A VERY cool use of vibranium,” he said.
