This week, Evans made a special appearance at Pixar Pier at Disney California Adventure at Disneyland Resort. Pixar shared two photos of Evans with Mickey and Minnie (dressed in Woody and Buzz Lightyear costumes), as well as Mr. and Mrs. Incredible, Joy, Sadness, Woody, and Buzz Lightyear:

Evans has posed precisely the same in both photos, hands inside his pockets and confidently smiling at the camera. Some Disney fans joked that he looked photoshopped in.

Today, Evans took to Twitter to respond to the allegations:

I promise I’m not photoshopped into these! I just have a very disciplined pose. 🤦🏻‍♂️

(And I don’t know what to do with my hands)

Fans responded with other photos of Evans at red carpet events in similar poses, agreeing that the star does have a “very disciplined pose.” @arigcevans wrote:

Head to your favorite movie theater on June 17 to see the premiere of Pixar’s Lightyear, starring Chris Evans and directed by Angus MacLane. From Disney:

From Disney and Pixar comes an animated sci-fi action-adventure — the definitive origin story of Buzz Lightyear (voice of Chris Evans), the hero who inspired the toy. “Lightyear” follows the legendary space ranger on an intergalactic adventure alongside ambitious recruits, Izzy, Mo and Darby, and his robot companion Sox. As this motley crew embark on their toughest mission yet, they must learn to work as a team to escape the evil Zurg and his dutiful robot army who are never far behind.
