Renner's woes on Hurt Locker set

WENN, March 8, 2010

The Hurt Locker star Jeremy Renner hated filming the Oscar-winning movie in Jordan – he smashed his nose in a bizarre accident and fell ill as a result of the searing heat.

Jenner, who plays Sergeant William James in the war movie, suffered a series of mishaps onset that left him limping with a twisted ankle, delaying the shoot for a week.

And he has vowed never to film scenes in a desert again – even if he is offered a fortune to star in a sequel to the movie, which scooped six Academy Awards on Sunday (07Mar10).

Jenner tells Britain’s The Times newspaper, “It averaged about 120F (49 degrees Celsius). so, yeah, that was hot. I got food bugs. then I got food poisoning: lost 15lb (6.8 kilograms) in three days. that was terrible. then I fell downstairs… I couldn’t see the stairs when I was walking down them and I just fell and cracked open my nose, bruised it up – it bled a bit – and twisted my ankle, which stopped us from filming ‘cos I couldn’t walk…

“Will I go out and and shoot in the desert again for Hurt Locker II? Go f**k yourself. you couldn’t pay me enough money. even if I wanted to, I just couldn’t – literally couldn’t – do it.”
