Jeremy Renner On Dating, Being Poor And How He Feels Sorry For Shia LaBeouf
Posted on Tue Nov 22, 2011 11:05 AM PDT
Jeremy Renner covers the latest issue of Details, and the 40-year-old actor talks about his early struggles to make it in Hollywood and how being nominated for two Oscars hasn't changed him one bit.
On his film roles, Jeremy said, “I’m blessed to have cool roles in these big movies. Because nothing against Transformers, but thank God I don’t have to do a monologue to a robot. I don’t know how Shia, God bless him, does that.” Hmm, we don't think Shia would take too kindly to that remark, especially since he's had plenty of other legit acting jobs before and after the highly lucrative Michael Bay franchise!
Of course, Jeremy just doesn't seem to care what anyone thinks about him. He tells the mag, “I don’t pay attention to that horses***. Build ‘em up to bring ‘em down? I’m not going on that train, my son. I’m not going on that train. I’ll walk. I’ll take a bike. I’d rather just not be popular.”
With The Avengers and Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol, is there any room for a lady love in his life? Nope! “I never dated, because I couldn’t afford to date," he tells the mag. "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.” Well that's a bummer!

He comes off like he's got a really big chip on his shoulder. I can definitely relate to being broke for a long time and angry and alone...but this guy's got some demons.
it seems like some of his demons are in the closet...
P-O-O-F-T-E-R
So is he a virgin then or what?
"Nope! “I never dated, because I couldn’t afford to date," he tells the mag."
Oh, just come out already.
Isn't Details a magazine for gay men anyway?
Just come out already!
Wow ! He sounds like a real asshole. Could he be any more cynical if he tried.
You are the best. Jeremy. Keep going strong. I like the way you tell it like it is. I think up and coming actors need to realize the sacrifices involved to get to stardom. Good job :)
Wow. I met him at the Dallas Film Fest a few years ago and thought he was just having an "off day." He really is Mr. Superior. Wow.
How does he come off as a jerk? I think he's just being honest. Man, some people just want someone to hate on.
