Chris Evans signed an Israeli bomb?
Days after, the former Republican presidential nominee Nikki Haley was pictured signing off on Israeli artillery shells, with the message “Finish them” intended for Gaza, a similar old photo of chris Evans resurdata-faced online, inciting a heated debate among fans. This week's viral photo on social media showed the Captain America star seemingly autographing a missile. Akin to Haley's picture drawing heavy fire, the Marvel hero eventually got embroiled in a war of words against the Internet.
The eight-year-old image provoked even fans of the generally loved hollywood actor to go up against him as they accused him of signing what appeared to be an Israeli bomb. As the virtual contention reached Evans' ears, he turned to his instagram Story on Thursday, breaking silence on the alleged claims made against him.
chris Evans offers ‘clarification’ about the ‘misconception' surrounding his years-old picture
“There's a lot of misinformation surrounding this picture. Some clarification: This image was taken during a USO tour in 2016,” chris wrote on Instagram. Further divulging that he accompanied a group of actors, athletes and musicians “to show appreciation for our service members,” he asserted that the object he appears to be signing in the viral photo “is not a bomb, or a missile, or a weapon of any kind.”
This isn't the first time this particular picture roused a virtual wrangling. Evans' viral image previously became the talk of the virtual town when an Israeli airstrike reportedly ravaged the shelters set up in the southern Gaza city of Rafah, killing dozens of people on May 26, primarily women and children, according to the Associated Press.
