(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Chris Evans has compared donning his Captain America costume to putting on ski-boots.

The 29-year-old American actor stars as Steve Rogers/Captain America in science-fiction adventure Captain America: The First Avenger, which is due for release later this year.

The hunk dons a rather fetching stars-and-stripes jumpsuit for the movie, and admits he has become attached to the attire.

When you put it on first thing in the morning you think, Man, this thing is stiff,

Then you spend four hours sweating in it, it starts to loosen up and by the end of the day you kind of forget its even on.

Its like putting on a pair of ski boots: youre like, how am I going to work in these things?

An hour later youre skiing and youre not even thinking about your feet, he told Total Film.

Captain America: The First Avenger tells the story of a man who volunteers for a secret research project after being deemed unfit for military service. His involvement ends up seeing him transformed into Captain America, a superhero who defends American ideals. Other big names starring in the movie include Hugo Weaving and Tommy Lee Jones.
