When Avengers co-star Jeremy Renner was asked if he’d help his fellow actresses negotiate salaries, he offered a less-than-admirable response.

Renner was asked on the heels of fellow American Hustle actor Jennifer Lawrence writing an op-ed titled “Why Do I Make Less Than My Male Co-Stars?” in which she spoke about the need for Hollywood to do better with equal pay.

Bradley Cooper (also an American Hustle co-star) was the first out of the gate with a response, and he supported Lawrence’s remarks. “Usually you don’t talk about the financial stuff, you have people. But you know what? It’s time to start doing that,” Cooper told Reuters last week.

Renner, however, had a different stance. “That’s not my job,” he told Business Insider in a new interview when asked if he’d be willing to negotiate with his female co-stars. “I don’t know contracts and money and all that sort of stuff. I’m a performer and I know human behavior. When it comes to that sort of stuff I let other people deal with that.”

Both actors were name-checked in Lawrence’s op-ed.

Renner’s new remarks caused a stir on the internet, so the actor addressed the controversy by writing this not-so-coherent tweet Thursday morning:

Is he trying to say that Lawrence isn’t showing him how she can get a higher salary? Is he saying she’s all talk?

Renner didn’t seem to like hearing any criticism either. He’s been blocking people on Twitter including BuzzFeed writers:

Sure, maybe it’s not Renner’s job to be the one negotiating the salaries, but he could at least say he’ll stand with his female co-stars. That wouldn’t have been so hard to say. Just follow Cooper’s lead!
