Jeremy Renner is no new to controversies, and he got himself in one when he uttered a pun-intended line at 2015’s Golden Globes Awards. He was on stage presenting an award with Jennifer Lopez, and the Avengers actor decided to make it awkward for many with his comment on stage. Scroll ahead to know more in detail.
For the unversed, JLo and Renner were up on stage to announce and present the award to Angelina Jolie‘s ex-husband, Billy Bob Thornton. The singer dazzled in a gorgeous body-hugging gown with a plunging v-neckline. The Hawkeye actor is known for his witty and funny comments, but sometimes they are also sexist. He once received a lot of backlash for calling Black Widow a sl*t, along with co-star Chris Evans.
Similarly, when Jeremy Renner compared Jennifer Lopez’s busty assets popping out of her gown with a deep neckline to Globes, it sparked a lot of backlash. Netizens were not happy with the actor’s demeaning remarks about Jennifer Lopez. They took to their social media to criticize Renner. Things escalated online as many joined in to call him a pervert, and the actor had to take to his X [then Twitter] to come out and clarify the whole situation. He even thanked JLo for being a sport on stage.
