Oscars 2019: Chris Evans escorts Regina King to the stage; You are Captain America IRL, says Twitter

Chris Evans is Captain America in real life, is what the internet opined, after the actor escorted Regina King to the stage as she won her first ever Oscar, taking home the Best Supporting Actress trophy for her role in If Beale Street Could Talk.

Regina, stunning in a white Oscar De La Renta dress, found it difficult to walk through after her name was announced. So, she got help from Chris Evans, who helped her to the stage so that she doesn't slip on the steps.

The internet is thrilled to say the least as we found GIFs and tweets posted by folks in honour of Chris, describing him as a thorough "gentleman".

Such a gentleman, Chris!
