Jeremy Renner doesn't care what people think of him.

The 'Avengers: Age of Ultron' star has insisted he isn't bothered about people's opinions of him, particularly when it comes to rumours about his sexuality.

He told Playboy magazine: ''I don't care [if people think I'm gay] ... Look at where we're at socially - leaps and bounds ahead of where we started.

''That's an amazing thing. To suggest that it's negative, that being gay is a terrible thing, a perversion or whatever - I just don't get it. Don't you wish we were in a world where we're not shaming, judging and boxing people in?''

Meanwhile, the 44-year-old actor previously admitted he isn't worried about his ''flaws''.

He said: ''Aren't we taught as kids that we're beautiful because we feel beautiful and not because someone else says so?

''You don't look like the model on the magazine cover but you can still be beautiful, so I can't say I really want to change anything. I'm happy with the flaws I have.''

The star also admitted he is ''married'' to his career.

He said: ''I come from a large, large family with many divorces so I chose not to go down that route straight away. Instead I essentially got married to my career.''
