Chris Evans' girlfriend Alba Baptista reveals she was nearly abducted by a total stranger during a terrifying attempted kidnapping during a school trip aged 10.
The Captain America star's new partner, sixteen years his junior, detailed the horrifying ordeal in a recently resurfaced magazine interview.
Now 25, the Warrior Nun Netflix star explained how she was on a study trip in Scotland, UK while she and a group of students were learning English.
She began her career in Portugal in local TV series and films before learning the language and breaking into the industry on the hit American fantasy drama.
Way before meeting Chris, 41, a then 10-year-old Alba was exploring when she looked for a T-shirt to buy for her dad while in Scotland.
Speaking to Nova Gente she revealed that a man aged in his 50s approached her, offering to buy the shirt for her – before asking Alba to follow him to his car.
He'd promised her a 'much better T-shirt' before grabbing hold of her arm, attempting to kidnap the youngster who luckily managed to escape his grip.
"I must have a wonderful guardian angel, because when he was grabbing me by the arm and pulling me out of the shop, the teacher appeared at the door to call me," she explained.
"I ran to go to her. I remember telling her what had happened and suddenly I see the man cutting through the queue with a hurricane-type look on his face and coming directly for me"
"He was telling me everything was fine and we were friends. I didn't know what to do," she told the outlet a few years ago.
In the resurfaced interview she detailed how the stranger began hugging her while she screamed, she recalls her classmates surrounding the pair before he let go and said "don't forget me".
She explained hating the thought of something like that happening to anyone else.
Chris went Instagram official with Alba earlier last month, including her in his yearly highlights wrap-up – but they've reportedly been dating for two years.
In November last year, PEOPLE magazine reported that the couple had already been dating for more than a year by that time.
A source told the magazine: "They are in love and Chris has never been happier. His family and friends all adore her."
Chris has previously been in relationships with actresses including Jenny Slate, Minka Kelly and Jessica Biel.
