The 35-year-old actor recently split from his 'Gifted' co-star Jenny Slate but he still has huge respect and admiration for her.

He said: "She's my favourite human. She's the best. I've never ever ever met someone in my life who has a mastery of the English language the way she does.

"She'll give you one sentence and there's no fat to it. You're like, 'You just chose such an unbelievable collection of words that beautifully articulate what you say.'

"It's like an art form talking with her, because the visuals associated with her expression are just so colourful.

She's so vulnerable, so honest, so interested in other people more than herself, she's incredibly compassionate, there's just nothing to not love about her."

Though the 'Captain America' star likes to keep his personal life private, he understands the public's interest in his affairs, and wants to be as honest as he can with his fans because he views it as part of his job.

He told People magazine: "I chose to be an actor, you can't be an actor and then be like, 'I'm p**ed people want to know about me!'

"To some degree I welcome it, because I've always found that for the most part, in interviews, being anything less than candid feels wrong. To some degree it feels right to share certain things. So, I'm not too sour if all the sudden it feels like there's a large influx in curiosity.

"It's not a bad thing. And you know what, if the things you're doing and the things you're surrounding yourself with are quality people and they are beautiful experiences, there's no shame in sharing."
