"Avengers"
-schmavengers ... Chris Evans says his real dream in life is much more primal -- revealing that he secretly longs to eat bark and live in the woods a la "Man vs. Wild."

The "Captain America" Star told Details magazine he dreamed about going all Thoreau back when he was a kid ... saying, "For a long time all I wanted for Christmas were books about outdoor survival. I was convinced that I was going to move to the woods."

But this wasn't just some pipe dream ... the movie star says he was completely committed to the idea and even practiced for the lifestyle -- explaining, "I swear to God, if you saw me when I am by myself in the woods, I'm a lunatic, I do crazy s**t."

"I camped a lot, I took classes" ... Evans said, adding, "At 18, I told myself if I don't live in the woods by the time I'm 25, I have failed."

He's 30 now ... an A-list movie star ... and probably lives in a mansion, or six.

Sounds like a real failure to us.

The Hoff, Fantastic Four and More

David Hasselhoff let his chest hair run wild and free out front of Hyde. And that's not all..

Last night Hollywood was out in full force -- "Fantastic" force -- for Chris Evans' birthday party. The "Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer" star's party was attended by co-star Michael Chiklis, and pals Adam Brody and J.C. Chasez.

Lionel Richie said the jury was still out on Nicole's pregnancy. When asked whether or not he'd be babysitting, he responded, "maybe, I don't know.'

Andy Milonakis was spotted out front of Les Deux, where he very generously handed a homeless man a dollar bill, and advised no one in particular to "tell all the little Hollywood d-bags in training to keep it real." Takes one to know one.

Patrick Swayze was out in front of the Prince concert followed by his long-haired doppel-Swayze.
