Evans doesn’t believe that he is alone in his feelings regarding his body, and claimed that it’s not only a “common” experience but that it’s “important for people to know that I outwardly present this strong character, but I suffer with insecurities and lack of confidence and self-worth and all those things.” Courtesy of Luke Evans/InstagramEvans, a proud gay man, said he was bullied as a child, noting that while he knew he was “different,” he didn’t fully understand what that meant at 6 and 7 years old.
