Unlikely string to Chris Evans’ bow

ACTOR Chris Evans says he had a blast voicing Buzz Lightyear in the animated Disney feature Lightyear, out today. However, he has ambitions in another direction, too.

‘I was always a really big fan of the old animated Disney movie Robin Hood,’ he said. ‘ I just thought Robin Hood was so cool, you know? He’s just smooth and charming and capable and, you know, I don’t have that cool British accent — but I’d love to give it a crack.’

Could he pull it off? Evans joked: ‘I’ll just do the Kevin Costner thing and not even try.’

Costner’s ‘ British’ accent in Robin Hood: Prince Of Thieves has become the stuff of legend, albeit not in a good way.
