AIBU to be irked that Chris Evan's son is on radio.

[Mynewmoniker]

I'm loving Chris Evans and think he has redeemed himself from past awful behaviour BUT I can't help being annoyed that he has already started his son's future career on radio. I bet he's a lovely lad but...sorry, Chris...I think this is a cheek!

I hate Chris Evans. He's an absolutely loathsome, myanthropic human being.

I'm still annoyed that Chris Evans himself is on radio tbh.

Yes, I wish he would leave his son out of it too. Tash, if you are Mumsnetter, tell Chris from us!

In what way is he on the radio? Isn't he three or something?

Don't hold back Tabitha! :o

My brother has served Chris Evans in a shop. Declared him a gent.

myanthropic?

It seems as soon as he could talk Chris shoved a microphone in front of his gob to secure his future.

I have no doubt he is a gent...still with an agenda.

Are you talking about his little son? He is only about 4! Not sure it really counts as a 'career' yet.
Anyone who has the connections/ability to help their children succeed uses them.
The poor kid may have no interest in show biz by the time it matters.
I'd be more worried about him being exploited at such a young age.

Supposed to say misanthropic.

can you explain why you went off someone who was using their professional position to sell donated items to raise money for a charity? does not compute...

He doesn't strike me as misanthropic, which is why I wondered if it was something else I didn't know about.

Chris Evans does my head in.
I think he is a bully - he certainly sounds like one.
I cannot listen to him for more than 10 seconds.

His co presenters are sycophants too.

I went right off him when he auctioned an F1 experience for Children In Need. I don't care that he raised millions, it was such an obscene celebration of profligacy. I won't listen to him now.

Yes, I'm sure Evans' extensive means and contacts would be better put to use doing bag-packing in Asda or shaking a bucket for charity.

I have hated him all the way back to TFI Friday. Just an abhorrent human being.

I think Chris Evans is great personally, love his show. I also like his car features, but then I'm a massive F1 fan and love motorsport.
If he wants to have his son on the show, what's the problem? He's a family man and raises money for charity through his shows.

Ds and I always listen to him on school days-he's great.

What's he doing with his son then? I've only heard him tell sweet stories about him so far.

Yep YABU, I love hearing him and his son...me and ten million others.

I think he is a genuinely caring, giving, talented individual - with occasional flashes of egotism, the use of his son on his show being one of them. I believe he realises what a twat he was in the past (and refers to it often).

Why does him raising money offend you?

Ye...sadly the sycophants are back.

and I've heard his tone when he thinks someone is taking over or making 'better' statements.

but I still like him.

I also don't want to hear what kids are doing for the first time ever at THAT time in a morning.

Oh, he's unbrearable. Why does he think anyone is interested in his family?

I'm interested in his family. Noah is about the same age as my first.

It's the British version of Jaden Smith and that awful Willow Smith. I wish they would all just fuck off.
