"Pictures of Chris Evans with his dog dodger to cleanse your timeline," one user wrote.

Others also reminded the public that the Hollywood actor previously suffered from anxiety, as he experienced panic attacks while on the set of his 2011 movie "Puncture."
In his previous interview with The Hollywood Reporter's "Awards Chatter" podcast, Chris Evans revealed the effects of anxiety on his health. It also made him question whether he should continue his acting career.
"It's hard to know if the path you're taking is the wrong one because the way I'm feeling isn't healthy," Evans said at the time.
