The star of this year's Academy Award-winner for "Best Picture" would like
to meet *Vice President Joe Biden*. His reason? The veep looks "kind of
punchy."

*Jeremy Renner*, who plays a military bomb squad leader in the six-time
Oscar-winning flick "The Hurt Locker" revealed his admiration for Biden to
ITK last summer during screening of the film for veterans and military
families.

"If I were to meet a politician, I would love to meet Joe Biden ... He
reminds me of my father [and] of my godfather — he's affable and kind of
punchy, and I think it would be a really fun meeting."

Renner said he's not a big fan of politics, but that's "probably because I
don't understand them."

Asked why he chose Biden over* President Barack Obama*, the young actor
responded, "I might have better luck at meeting Joe Biden than President
Obama."

That might have been true last summer. But now, with the year's most
acclaimed film under his belt, Renner's got a lot more than luck going for
him.

The vice president's office declined to say whether Biden might consider
inviting the cast of "The Hurt Locker" for a visit, but a spokesman said
they were "happy about the win."
