Apparently, Jeremy Renner's superpower is digging himself into holes.
The Avengers actor appeared on Monday's Conan and discussed his recent comment about Black Widow being a "slut." While he admitted the comment (made alongside co-star Chris Evans) was "off-colored," Renner remained unapologetic about the controversy he stirred online.
"Conan, if you slept with four of the six Avengers -- no matter how much fun you had -- you’d be a slut. Just saying. I’d be a slut," Renner said in the interview.
The discussion with Conan echoed Renner's first statement following the uproar, in which he said, “I am sorry that this tasteless joke about a fictional character offended anyone. It was not meant to be serious in any way."
Unfortunately, if Renner thought he was already in "Internet trouble," he's seen nothing yet.
#JeremyRenner, you are doing a great job making yourself VERY unlikeable! Please end the #AgeOfUltron press tour! https://t.co/sybinqCLuG— Kait Calabrò (@KaitCalabro) May 5, 2015
