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 we’re not shaming, judging and boxing people in?”

The Hollywood star said: “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.

“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?”
