Why is Jeremy Renner not tired of talking about his recovery?
Are you sick of people asking you how you are?
No, no, no. I mean, it's, well, there's a real honest answer that comes behind it, right? Whether they're asking or not, you know, you get a real honest answer. And sometimes it's in the inopportune times. I remember doing a podcast, but it was over Zoom, right? And The technical issues that were happening to set it up and the thing and what mic to use and how to use this. I'm not the tech guy.
And I was getting very frustrated and I was getting probably pretty hangry. And like the beginning of this podcast was probably pretty awful. I was quite a cunt. But they ask you, look, I'm sorry. I'm just going to work through this and the thing. I'm not good with tech. And I just... I just have this real, realist, honest way to kind of live. So I'm not sick in the long way to answer this.
I'm not really sick of people asking how I am because I just really do tell them. And if they do care about, you know, if it's about the recovery or if it's about just sort of my health or even mental health, you know, I don't care how they intend it. I just sort of explain kind of how I am in a really truthful, honest way. It's quite beautiful. Have you always been like that?
I've always been pretty direct, but I don't think I'd be as open and revealing. I'm much more open and revealing because of having to focus on myself so much.
Why do you think that is? No time to obfuscate or sort of play the social moray game?
Yeah, I was never good at that, man. I mean, a crowd of people, I'll get anxiety and, you know, I'd have to like medicate with like, you know, alcohol or something to sort of calm the nerves of being around so many people. Yeah. I always think if it's going to be a fire, so many people are going to die and people are going to get hurt. People are kind of terrible to each other in large crowds.
The more people in a room, the respect level for humanity kind of diminishes. Yeah, the more humans they are, the less humane they are. Exactly. And I just refuse to be in that environment because I think it's disgusting. That behavior, I'm very affected by it and very sensitive to it. So I just choose not to be in those environments.
It sounds like you've got, I don't know, a little bit of a nervous disposition. I think I would say that that's my kind of background too. Thinking, sometimes overthinking, looking for potential errors and issues and maybe being a little bit sensitive to the energy of what's going on around you.
