Jeremy Renner: Gay Rumors Don’t Bother Me

Posted Tuesday June 30, 2015 8:05 AM GMT

As one of the handsomest hunks in Hollywood, Jeremy Renner seems to constantly be targeted by romance rumors, including both male and female partners.

The “American Hustle” star told Playboy that while he’s not gay, he’s also not worried about claims that he is- “I’m not going to try to prove what I am or am not. It’s silly, right? When you google yourself and the first thing that comes up is ‘Jeremy Renner gay,’ it’s like, ‘Oh, now you’ve arrived. You’re now a giant movie star.’ I don’t care, ultimately, if that’s what people want to think, read and care about. F*cking say whatever the hell you want about me.”

Furthermore, says Renner, “Look at where we’re at socially — leaps and bounds ahead of where we started. That’s an amazing thing. To suggest that it’s negative, that being gay is a terrible thing, a perversion or whatever — I just don’t get it. Don’t you wish we were in a world where we’re not shaming, judging and boxing people in?”
