Avengers actor Jeremy Renner really doesn’t care if people think he’s gay – he gave an amazing response to anyone who thinks he is.

Renner, who plays Hawkeye in the Avengers series, spoke to Playboy to say he wishes “we were in a world where weā€™re not shaming, judging and boxing people in?”

The Hollywood star said: “Iā€™m not going to try to prove what I am or am not. Itā€™s silly, right? When you google yourself and the first thing that comes up is ā€˜Jeremy Renner gay,ā€™ itā€™s like, ā€˜Oh, now youā€™ve arrived. Youā€™re now a giant movie star.ā€™ I donā€™t care, ultimately, if thatā€™s what people want to think, read and care about. F*cking say whatever the hell you want about me.

“Look at where weā€™re at socially ā€” leaps and bounds ahead of where we started. Thatā€™s an amazing thing. To suggest that itā€™s negative, that being gay is a terrible thing, a perversion or whatever ā€” I just donā€™t get it. Donā€™t you wish we were in a world where weā€™re not shaming, judging and boxing people in?”
