Everything You Wanted To Know About Jeremy Renner (But Were Afraid To Ask)
I know you all hate BuzzFeed but it's a great piece (they do more than listicles these days) that explains his background and why the world is oddly fascinated with him.
Includes reference to gay rumors and this quote "like if a normal guy who works at Dick’s Sporting Goods was granted many wishes by God."

What is the alleged provenance of the photo R2?
I learned that Renner can sing, was one of those actors whose first real break did not come until his late 30s and if now being linked with Lady Gaga.
Go figure.

[quote] Out of the four stars in American Hustle (also 2013), Renner was the only one not to get nominated for an Oscar. His production company’s first big film, Kill the Messenger (2014) — starring Renner — flopped at the box office, grossing just under $2.5 million.
I'm not sure I'd argue that Renner's performance in American Hustle was the most technically challenging among the stars, but it was pretty fucking impressive in terms of capturing the humanity of a particular political type -- not as they imagine themselves to be, but how they actually are. I would argue it's his best performance, and his most unique contribution.
I watched a pirated screener of Kill the Messenger after it hit the festivals with a whimper, because I was curious how they handled the story (CIA involved in drug trafficking). I'm not sure how they made an entire movie about "TPTB will kill this story!" without anticipating that the powers that be would also kill their story. It's a solidly made movie that's worth seeing if only to contrast it with the sort of stories that did manage to take off and gain critical approval and significant box office. (The Imitation Game... really?)
I think Renner is a bozo in general, but for all his missed shots I have to credit him with doing well with the above mentioned opportunities.
(Also, YMF, Buzzfeed stopped doing only listicles years ago. I rarely read the damn thing. I am old. And a Midwesterner. And I knew that. Shame!)

I have been told by other DLers that they don't read Buzzfeed because listicles, R4. So you are ahead of the game ;)
Thanks for the insight into Renner though. I am going to put Kill The Messenger on my to-watch list.

They forgot to mention he no longer has anything to do with the Combine

Interesting about The Combine. I wonder what happened there. FWIW Kill the Messenger is a great film.

[quote]Sure, he’d briefly worked as a makeup artist behind the Lancôme counter, but it was a great way to “hit on chicks.”
Oh, GURL.

Looks Russian or generally Slavic.

[quote]Renner has generally been game for interviews (almost always with men, whom he mostly refers to as “brother”) but he’s keen to note that he hates attention, he loathes rumors, he despises gossip — all of the most feminizing aspects of fame, which he finds “nauseating,” especially suggestions that he’s sleeping with his best friend and “live-in business partner,” Kristoffer Winters (whom he also refers to as “my brother”). “Anyone I ended up touching at the Academy Awards, I was [apparently] having sex with,” he told UK journalist Declan Cashin in 2011. “Where would I find the time? If I pet my dog does that mean he’s blowing me? Come on!”
And.
[quote]He owned a French bulldog, which he described as “the toughest, most masculine little dog” available
Okay, Jer.

He's ugly. That's all I know, and that's enough.

I love how the lady described him as having a "busted" face.

Fuck off!
We already know everything about Jeremy Renner. He’s overexplored on Datalounge.
And why?
He’s not hot. Don’t give me none of that middle-aged hamburger face!

Agreed R9. To me he looks Slovak.

He’s trying a bit too hard to be a man’s man. And he sure blows his top when asked about his personal life. Calm down, Steve McQueen.
