There’s no bad blood here. ExesĀ Chris Evans and Jenny Slate have nothing but good things to say about each other. As the press tour for their upcoming filmĀ GiftedĀ begins, the pair’sĀ kind words about each other are sure to make their reunion less awkward.
Just last week Slate opened upĀ toĀ New York magazineĀ about falling in and out of love with Evans. In theĀ feature, she had this to say about meeting her former boyfriend: “I remember him saying to me, āYouāre going to be one of my closest friends.ā I was just like, āMan, I fucking hope this isnāt a lie, because Iām going to be devastated if this guy isnāt my friend.āā ā Ā
She continued, āI donāt mind talking about him at all. Heās a lovely personā¦Ā Chris is truly one of the kindest people Iāve ever met, to the point where sometimes I would look at him and it would kind of break my heart. Heās really vulnerable, and heās really straightforward. Heās like primary colors. He has beautiful, big, strong emotions, and heās really sure of them. Itās just wonderful to be around. His heart is probably golden-colored, if you could paint it.”Ā
So where do they stand? Slate explained, āWeāre not on bad terms, but we havenāt really seen each other, spoken a lot. I think itās probably best. Iād love to be his friend one day, but we threw down pretty hard. No regrets, though. Ever.ā
Now Evans is reciprocatingĀ the sweetness, tellingĀ PeopleĀ that Slate is his “favorite human.”
āSheās the best.Ā Iāve never ever ever met someone in my life who has a mastery of the English language the way she does. Sheāll give you one sentence and thereās no fat to it. Youāre like, āYou just chose such an unbelievable collection of words that beautifully articulate what you say,'” Chris explains. “Itās like an art form talking with her, because the visuals associated with her expression areĀ just so colorful.”
But that’s not all. He continues to rave about her.Ā “Sheās so vulnerable, so honest, so interested in other people more than herself, sheās incredibly compassionate, thereās just nothing to not love about her.ā
A failed relationship turned beautiful friendship?Ā You can’t complain about that.
