God, these photos make me long for the 1970s to make a comeback in men’s fashion. It’s not that Jeremy Renner’s suit (he’s in character) is amazing just by itself, but on Jeremy, the whole package is kind of extraordinary. Women’s “retro” fashion is a thing, so why can’t modern dudes rock some 1970s-style poly-blend wide-leg trousers? And why is Donald Trump the only modern guy attempting this amazing hairstyle? Jeremy looks like he had a blowout and then they just sprayed a mountain of hairspray to get it to stay up in that crazy pompadour.
Anyway, these are some more photos from the Boston set of David O. Russell’s film about the 1970s Abscam scandal. It was untitled for a while, but now the film is being called American Hustle. The production shut down for a few weeks in the immediate aftermath of the Boston bombings, but they’ve gone back into production now, which is why you’ll be seeing more and more photos of Jeremy, Christian Bale, Bradley Cooper and Amy Adams in character, wearing 1970s stuff.
We now know who Jeremy is playing too – he’s playing the then-mayor of Camden, New Jersey, Angelo Errichetti. Bale and Amy Adams play con artists working with the FBI to track down politicians and mobsters on the take. You can read the Wiki page on the Abscam scandal here.

Much as I love the look, the answer is really, really no. Miss Jane, the pocketRen is all yours.
Thank you, a little PocketRen always sets my head right. And he doesn’t shush me when I voice my aggressive opinions while showing some leg, either. He like my “aggressive talk”… and my legs.
I concur. Let’s send St.John Cavil off to a mission somewhere and hope the natives don’t flash any ankle.
St. John Cavill – Fanty, you are freaking brilliant. And I was once in love with him before i got to know more about him so it’s fitting.
And showing his ass walking away from the bed on the Tudors was necessary and high art, I assume?
EVERYTHING about the Tudors was high art.
Nudity = Art. How did you not know this? Philistine.
(or at least, that’s what I tell TommyAnne when he’s hog-tied and I whip out my video camera)
Is that why he always suggests I film in black and white. I wondered what that was all about.
Oh, well, that’s partly the art, and partly because in black and white, the orange Max Factor isn’t so glaringly apparent.
he has always reminded me of someone and now I know who! 70’s John Belushi.
I love him but he does look like Grumpy cat from some angles.
Why the “but”? How is that anything but a massive compliment?
hahaha! Esp in the photo 2nd from bottom.
And the answer is “no” for me, never ever.
More like Grumpy Cat and Joe Pecsi had a love child. For me, his sex appeal ranks up (down?) there with Anne Hathaway and Carrot Top.
In the second pic I swear he looks like a younger Johnny Cash.
Those clothes so remind me of my dad in the 1970s. Memories!
Love Renner as an actor but that’s it.
Libérace!
I would hit it, but I’m much too old for the Renster. We all know he likes em really young, baby mama is what 25?! (not 22 like everyone thinks)And most likely too smart (once again look at baby mama)
Oh my, where I. Boston are they filming?
the filming is almost finished in Boston aera(if it was not the last week) and they will film in NY at May 17th and 18th
No thanks!
Is he still living with his surrogate, I mean ex-girlfriend. Or has she, unsurprisingly, disappeared leaving the baby with Renners boyfr………sorry, roommate.
Awesome! He IS the character.
That pompadour does nothing for me, sorry Jeremy I wouldn’t hit you like that. lol
Wow he looks just like a young Harvey Kietel. He still is cute even with the polyester suit (is this considered a leisure suit?) would I hit that?…..why yes, yes I would! ;)lol!
I was thinking more like a young Joe Pesci…:-)
No, not really, and the 70s’ look is not the problem
Yes yes yes, a million times yes! He could come crawling out of a swamp covered in swamp gloop and I would still hit it harder than a meteorite. So to sum up…yes. ;D
well stated!
I said this to a friend of mine – who is a BIG Renner fan:
Elvis called… he wants his hair back.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! I don’t know about anyone else, but I’m going to see this movie just for the hair and clothes. the hair/makeup team AND the costume designers deserve the either an Oscar OR a Razzie for this. Maybe BOTH.
From the neck up: Justin Beiber does that on purpose.
Does anyone else remember seeing him on an episode of Angel? First season, prodigal son?
Chubby lil face, not so grumpy.
Yes! definitely yes
Why yes, yes I would. He can even come dressed just like that.
Can’t wait to see this movie. It has a great cast and the wardrobe and hair styles for this movie is giving me life.
God, the clothes in the 70s were awful. I was just reminded of how the way the guys dressed back then was sort of automatic birth control.
Sweet Mother Mary of Jesus…NO!
yes, yes and yes. always!
who do i have to pay to be able to mess up that hair!
Now he just looks like Elvis the Hobbit.
