Jeremy Renner is the subject of the Hollywood Reporter's new cover story, and talks about acting, his past relationships, and speculation about his sexual orientation:
For Renner, Internet speculation already has centered around whom he’s dating (everyone from Jessica Simpson to Scarlett Johansson, if you believe the tabs) to his sexual orientation. “I want my personal life to be personal, and it’s not f—ing true,” he says of the suppositions. “And I don’t care if you’re talking about things that are true, you’re still talking about my personal life. How about I go peek in your window, take what underwear you wore last night, whose husband you were f—ing, and shove that in the megaphone throughout your neighborhood? How does that feel?”
He also mentions an incident in which he took down a guy for calling him a gay slur:
Renner tells the story of how, on Christmas Eve a few years back, when he was with his family in a bar, “This guy chokes me with the scarf I was wearing. He called me a fag ’cause I was wearing a scarf! Then he shoved my sister and I got behind him and I choked him out — put him to sleep.”

The lady doth protest too much. Another case of an out actor forced back into the closet in exchange for a career?

And then there are people like Anderson Cooper. He has been pretty "out" for years ie he's all over town with his boyfriend. But because he won't do a People cover story or openly discuss his sexual orientation, then everyone gives him shit and says that he's embarrassed/in the closet/etc. He's allowed to keep his private life private.
I'm reading and I'm like, "huh?"
SIT DOWN, JEREMY.
I like him just a little less rn.
guess not.

With that said, he's right about people wanting to know celebrities sexual orientation. They should be able to keep it to themselves.
If you want to keep you orientation a secret, you need to keep track of who you're dating, sleeping and fraternizing with.
It's very strange that people, celebs especially, who live very gay lives with little abandon, and then kick, scream and bite when HOO-HA: people find out.
Celebrities really need to keep that in mind when they invite people in their homes for one-night stands, date and go to gay clubs...and yes, Mr. Renner, I'm looking at YOU.
So an easier sentence would be: But we are going to a lot of lengths to insinuate he is. *shrug*
Also he looks like a cross between Daniel Craig and the Cat Face Woman.
OT: If you are on firefox, can you see Vimeo videos?
