The Bourne Legacy star Jeremy Renner has become the latest star to take aim at the Kardashians for being famous for the sake of being famous.

In an interview with the UK's Guardian newspaper to promote The Bourne Legacy, Renner has ripped into the Kardashians.

"Oh, all those ridiculous people with zero talent who spend their lives making sure everyone knows their name. Those stupid, stupid people."

Maybe Renner's irritation with the Kardashians and their ilk comes from his own lack of interest in fame, "I know it's a cliche but I never wanted to be famous. I don't believe anybody wants to be famous."

Renner's own celebrity status came as a huge surprise to the actor, coming on the back of the success of the film Hurt Locker: "One minute I'm homeless. The next I'm still homeless, but I'm in a tuxedo, on my way to the Oscars, stopping at a coffee shop to brush my teeth because I don't have running water. The next minute, Jack Nicholson, someone I've admired my entire life, is right in front of me saying my name."

But the sudden fame has had its downside - since coming to the public's attention Renner has been the target of internet gossip, which he brushes off in the interview, "So I have gay rumours – guess I've made it!"

Somehow we feel that this won't be the last time the Kardashians are accused of being talentless attention seekers... Kudos to Jeremy Renner for keeping the fame game in proportion.
