RENNER’S OSCARS WEEK STRUGGLE
THE HURT LOCKER star JEREMY RENNER’s 2010 Oscars thrill was tainted by a house remodelling nightmare - the Best Actor nominee had no electricity o r running water when he woke up on Academy Awards day.
The actor admits he was living in a half-built home throughout the run- up to the Oscars - and he woke in a terrible state on one of the proudest moments of his life.
He explains, "I was going through a break-up with a girlfriend… and s o I moved into the house a little early and it didn’t have running water or power.
"I had to tape plastic around my bed to keep the dust and all the debri s away from me." But, like his tough character in The Hurt Locker, Renner found away of adapting to his bizarre circumstances in Los Angeles’ urban jungle.
He adds, "There’s a lot of places that have running water… I’d be in a nice, fine suit.. and I’d run into, like, a Starbucks or a McDonald’s o r a restaurant.
"I was like a really finely dressed homeless person." But it all became a little too much for Renner when his mother and brot her came to stay with him - and the house still wasn’t ready: "I got a ho tel for just a week."
