Jeremy Renner is the hotsy actor from The Hurt Locker who wowed the panties off of everyone, and is currently hot shit in Hollywood. He’s about to pop up in every movie except those on Lifetime Television, so (inevitably) gay rumors are a-flyin’. When it was publicized last year that he shares a home with actor Kristoffer Winters (cute ginge), whom he refers to alternately as his “brother” and “best friend”, well – c’mon, it’s two guys sharing a house! In their 40s! In Hollywood! And not because they can’t afford to live on their own! Well, Details asked him about it. In kind of a weird way.”Nauseating?”
It’s not surprising that in Renner’s dating vacuum, the worst bottom-feeding websites have suggested there’s something more to his relationship with his pal and sometime housemate Winters. The unwanted attention nauseates him, even as he understands its causes. “I don’t pay attention to that horseshit. Build ’em up to bring ’em down?” he says of celebrity culture. “I’m not going on that train, my son. I’m not going on that train. I’ll walk. I’ll take a bike.” He lets out a laugh that sounds like a lawn mower starting up. “I’d rather just not be popular.”
Jeez. I wouldn’t say we’re “bottom-feeding” as much as “horny” and want to picture Jeremy fucking his co-stars in The Avengers. Renner also mentioned that he’s way too into his career to see a lady:
When Renner says he’s given up his life for his job, this is what he means: “I never dated, because I couldn’t afford to date. I didn’t even have electricity. You try to put a positive spin on it, like, ‘Hey, this is so sexy—look at all these candles!’ But I loved what I was doing. The sacrifices I made in personal relationships had the biggest effect on my life. Even now, any woman would take a No. 2 seat to my job.”
Alrighty. Look, just consider the fascination with who you’re doing as a sign that you’ve definitely arrived. If enough of your movies flop, then you’re PROBABLY going to be coming out on the cover of People with your hand on your “business partner’s” sack. It’s not like you weren’t aware that sharing your life with another dude being revealed was going to start everyone guessing whether you’re a top or a bottom.

I hated that movie (hurt locker) and I think he is boring as hell, and I think he is not gonna stick around for ever….
his roommate is pretty cute, and my gaydar went off for both of them, but then who cares?
hope he is fine when he is not popular anymore and goes back to those candle-lit dinners….
His “I don’t have time for dating” shtick has been done by everyone from Rock Hudson to Kevin Spacey.
Leave him alone…We, as a community, ask for understanding and compassion from the world, then we turn around and aggressively do what we can to belittle, debase, and shame others for whatever their behaviors they have. Is some of our negativity simply being reciprocated back on us?? I wonder sometimes.
Really though, speculation isn’t that negative. What is negative is his his reaction to that speculation. When you’re 40 and unattached to anyone…that’s unusual. It’s fine. But it is unusual. Imagine that he lived with some woman, who he wasn’t involved with and they were just friends. Everyone would assume they were boning. To such a degree that it’s unlikely anyone would even ask if they weren’t. And if they did ask do you think he’d respond that the question was a slur and made him sick to his stomach? I’m sorry but if you answer no to having a girlfriend why is it an insult to follow up with, “or a boyfriend?” It kinda fucked up that even gays will treat the inclusion of the possibility that an undeclared man might be gay is an insult. So whay we’re just supposed to assume everyone is straight?
I never really was a fan, but this makes me much less inclined to be. This man is definitely no Benjamin Godfrey.
Damn me and my typos. 🙁
Me thinks thou dost protest too loudly, Mr. Renner…
To be fair, I don’t think that the substance of the speculations are what nauseated him (I.e., whether or not he’s gay), but the fact that people are speculating *in the first place,* in that they’re an invasion of his privacy.
RavelTrouser is right. I think Renner can be a very good actor, but this whole response to the suggestion that he might be gay — his response and Details response — is offensive in that it implies that even asking an obvious question (“So, two guys living together…that leads me to think you might be gay…are you?”) is “nauseating,” “bottom-feeding” and basically a nasty thing to do. Meaning, being gay = something bad. Not a good message to send.
Definitely a bossy bottom.
Another famous person whining about being famous. Nauseated? Take some Pepto, cash your checks, soak up the attention, and be thankful that you’re working rather than losing a home to foreclosure. Asshat.
PS Um, “Not going on that train” re: participating in celebrity culture? Really? And your interview with effing Details Magazine is what? Another step in your unending effort to solve the problem of cold fusion? No.
that motherfucker should just be glad that anyone AT ALL, is paying some attention to him. the rumours that he’s gay are nauseating? how about the reality that he is a scrub faced little cunt bag, that makes me want to retch. fuck him and his mama. now i’m getting back on his bus and going home. wurd!
I will share if I can find them on my computer. I came across some photos of a young guy who looks so much like Mr. Renner I still can not say if it is him or not, enjoying a little masterbation. Maybe somone else has seen them or has more or knows if it is indeed Mr Renner. I’m still hunting for them.
LoL @ Bossy Bottom
Many years ago, I was living in Los Angeles. I worked retail at he Bev Center, Jeremy also worked there. I knew him, he was interested in girls – nice sweet guy – so happy for all his success. I can remember his first commercial on a Pizza Hut commercial – we all celebrated
