Jeremy Renner has a history of putting his foot in his mouth — and he’s not ashamed of it. During the 72nd Golden Globe Awards, he stood alongside Jennifer Lopez to announce the winner for best actor in a TV miniseries or movie, per E! News. The “Let’s Get Loud” singer asked Renner if he wanted her to open the envelope. “I’ve got the nails,” she told him. “Yeah, you’ve got the globes too,” he quipped back, seemingly referring to her chest. Although Lopez later stated, “That was really funny. He’s a very funny man. It even made me a little hot,” fans slammed Renner’s joke.
The actor later took to Twitter to clap back. “A reminder not to take this s*** so serious. Thanks Jennifer -– You’re a gem,” he wrote. Others were quick to take his side. “Well said sir…. I thought it was hilarious. The haters need to get a sense of humour. Big hugs x,” a fan replied. “Amen to that! Have a sense of humour people! J-Lo has one don’t worry,” another tweeted.
