Anthony Mackie: Dating is so difficult for the Marvel star

Marvel star Anthony Mackie (46) has appeared in several “Avengers” films in recent years. From mid -February he can now be seen as a superhero Captain America in the new blockbuster “Captain America: Brave New World”. But the fame that such prestigious roles bring with it not only has advantages. In conversation with the fact that his love life suffers.

Dating is “really hard” for him and “obsolete”, says Mackie. His celebrity apparently leads to many doubts: “How can you trust someone? How do you get able to be vulnerable? How do you know what someone really wants if you just want to be loved and appreciated?”

The actor, who has four children with his ex-wife Sheletta Chapital, do not use dating apps like Tinder or the Raya platform, which is popular under celebrities. “I am older and do not use apps,” explains Mackie. He spend a large part of his time in his home country of New Orleans, where he still goes to old restaurants today, which he once visited with his now deceased parents in his childhood and youth.

Most Mackie is mostly calm, but he is also recognized by fans, which could be overwhelming for him. He is not a person who likes a lot of attention. “I appreciate the support. I appreciate the idea that people recognize me for my work,” he explains. But the star suffers from social phobia: “And that’s why I run away and hide. I go to places where I know people and who take care of me. And then I just sit down in the corner and move on a umbrella the head. “
