Jeremy Renner Rides Solo

Jeremy Renner was poised to become Hollywood's next mega-franchise action hero. Instead, he aimed toward a different destination: a sane life.

If you want to hang at Jeremy Renner’s place, you need to follow a few simple rules. The rules are displayed in a five-by-seven picture frame atop Renner’s bar, a marble topped walnut number he installed himself, stocked with enough Bulleit to give Kentucky the year off.

No social media.

No photos.

No glass by the pool.

Nothing in JR’s butt.
