“Hurt Locker” star Jeremy Renner plays a tough sergeant in the movie but did you know he used to be a make up artist? When Jeremy moved to Hollywood from Modesto, California, he supported himself by working three days a week on sets doing makeup, and he acted in plays at night. Since then he’s moved on to remodeling homes and flipping them like Courteney Cox. And he does most of the labor himself.
This face might not look familiar now, but as the award show season accelerates, he will be EVERYWHERE. (Maybe you remember him as “Dahmer.”) Not a lot of people saw “The Hurt Locker” – perhaps because the subject matter is so painful, but it is easily one of the most important films of the year. We had to literally be dragged to see it and it wasn’t fun, but the movie is brilliant and Jeremy Renner is up for Best Actor in just about every competition. He’s already won The National Film Critics award (as did the movie) and that’s just the beginning.
