Imagine going from playing the wise guy member of The Fantastic Four Johnny Storm to playing Captain America

[trinaq]

"The Man in the Moon" is such an underrated movie, and Reese is wonderful as the leading lady!😍

I love “Not Another Teen Movie”! Besides Fantastic 4, I didn’t really watch any of Chris Evans’ movies in between NATM and Captain America. So when I saw the trailer for Captain America, I literally thought “hey, it’s the guy from Not Another Teen Movie. Gotta see that.” 😂

Zoe Saldana was in Center Stage before she was in Crossroads. She did her own ballet dancing.

Also Matt Damon was in Mystic Pizza when he was a kid.

I just watched the losers on Netflix and was so surprised to see so many A-list actors in a low budget film.

[idkrhianna]

I saw not another teen movie couple days ago and it was hilarious especially with Chris and his eyebrows raise one up and one down😂💀

[WhoaMoments]

WHOA! These stars are incredible! Whoa whoa whoa!

[diamondstuddedpunchingbag]

Man in the moon...that movie is so good and incredibly sad. Deals with some serious themes. I remember when I first saw it...it terrified me for so long.

The Man in the Moon was the first Reese Witherspoon movie that i saw, i thought she was a really good actress and then i saw her in Freeway, and i knew she was a freaking awesome actress. If you have not seen Freeway, you really should.

[justineves]

[chelseacanales]

Thanks to Chris Evans, I never like and never will look at a sundae or banana split the same way, thanks to Not Another Teenage Movie.

Ben Affleck was famous before Good Will Hunting.. as was Matt Damon. Acting since kids._.. School Ties had them both 6 years prior and Matt was the antagonist. They just became more famous.

Hard to believe the original fantastic four cast appears in 3 of those entries

[aleph]

I swear it's like Msmojo gets their information from cliff notes. In Man in the Moon she didnt "fall in love with a guy her father didnt approve of" she fell for a guy slightly older than herself who wasnt sure he wanted to date someone on the threshold of childhood and teen. Danny's father was perfectly fine with Court.

[arrow_of_ravenclaw]

Johnny Depp was in Nightmare on Elm Street

[Natasjaisawesome]

Okay, so controversial oppinion coming up…

I saw Not another teen movie as a teenager myself, and thought that Chris was really hot!
When Captain America came out, I didn’t knew it was the same person, and I never thought that he was hot in that role 🙈
I literally only like him as a darkhaired douchebag 😂😂
