It’s shocking how far Jeremy Renner has fallen in public esteem. Or maybe it’s just my esteem for him that has fallen. I used to genuinely like Renner and think that he was a good/weird/funny guy. Nowadays? Not so much. Renner was the one calling Black Widow a “slut,” then doubling-down on his name-calling by mansplaining how and why she’s totally “slutty.” Add to those incidents the most recent thing, where Renner was asked about his American Hustle costar Jennifer Lawrence and her essay about wage equality. Renner was asked if he would join Bradley Cooper in helping female costars get paid fairly, to which Renner replied, “That’s not my job.”
Anyway, Renner gave a new interview to Maxim to promote his new advertising contract with Rémy Martin Cognac. Rémy Martin Cognac: When You Need A Stiff Drink To Deal With Sluts. In the Maxim interview, Renner says some words. Words like… his favorite curse word. It’s exactly what you would expect it to be. Some highlights from Maxim.
His Remy Martin commercial: “They’re celebrating my life, which is great. The message is ‘None of us should be pigeonholed or identified by any single thing we do. Everything we do should be celebrated.’ I thought this was a beautiful concept, one that seemed to fit into my life. The company itself, hearing how its run and how it appreciating of the aging process and quality, really spoke to me. In today’s world, how fast-moving it is, people look past where quality really comes form. I really appreciated all of these aspects of the brand.”
The essential items he carries every day: “Gee, I don’t actually know…a credit card, I suppose? A wallet? I always wear an elastic around my ring finger for my baby daughter. Her hair is quite long and I’m always tying it back. That’s a must. I always have that on my person.
His favorite curse word: “I think all of them are equally amazing. ‘C-nt’ is pretty good.”
What he has to say about the backlash he’s gotten for various controversies: “I don’t really pay attention to that stuff. I only pay attention to things that are ultimately really important to me. We all have freedom of speech, and I’m very proud of that in this country.”
The only time I genuinely say the C-bomb aloud, directing it another person, is when I’m driving and screaming at some horrible driver. That’s when the C-bombs flow like wine. To be fair, I’m alone in the car and the other drivers can’t hear me. But of course Jeremy’s favorite curse word is See-You-Next-Tuesday. That’s how he probably thinks of most women. Sluts, See-You-Next-Tuesdays and bitches who whine about their paychecks.
Here’s his Remy Martin commerical. It is hilariously bad.
