Chris Evans has revealed that he is exceptionally insecure.

The Captain America: The First Avenger star said that he finds it difficult to see himself as attractive.

"I don't consider myself [to be a sex symbol]," Evans told Us Weekly. "Many actors are saddled with raging insecurity and I am no exception. I'm drowning in it."

The actor went on to praise his Avengers co-stars Chris Hemsworth and Robert Downey Jr.

"[Chris] Hemsworth and I are definitely in uncharted waters, but it's great that we have one another," Evans said. "I can't say enough about [Robert] Downey [Jr]. He's been so great. He's so positive and so available, and I didn't know what to expect. He's so experienced."

The 30-year-old has previously said that he initially felt nervous around Downey Jr when the two first came together to shoot scenes for The Avengers.

Captain America recently scored the highest superhero debut of the year, taking an estimated $65.8m (Â£40.4m) on its opening weekend in the US.

The film is released in UK cinemas on Friday, July 29.
