Die-Hard 49ers fan Jeremy Renner didn’t let a little thing like the premiere of his new movie, “American Hustle,” get in the way of seeing his team beat the Seahawks on Sunday.
“Jeremy walked onto the red carpet [at the Ziegfeld Theater] with an iPad watching the game,” said a spy. “He was screaming at the screen, yelling, ‘Go, baby go!’ ” (Fans can stream all “out-of-market” NFL games on mobile devices via DirectTV’s “Sunday Ticket” subscription, which included the 49ers game Sunday.) Renner’s rep explained he’s a “huge” fan, and had to see if the 49ers were one step closer to the playoffs.
The film’s other stars also had distractions on Sunday. Jennifer Lawrence had to skip the premiere to beat the snow and get back to the set of “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay.” Christian Bale walked the red carpet, but then caught a different flight to get to the set of Ridley Scott’s “Exodus,” in which the star plays Moses.
A Vanity Fair and Grey Goose after-party at Cipriani 42nd Street for the 1970s-set film directed by David O. Russell featured vintage touches like disco balls and white feathers. Bradley Cooper was spotted at the bash with gal pal Suki Waterhouse, and co-star Amy Adams was chatting with Carla Bruni. Meanwhile Renner, relieved his team won, joked around with Louis CK.
Producer Charles Roven — who’s also producing “Batman vs. Superman” — told us the film’s Boston set was shut down during the marathon bombing. “It didn’t affect us the day of the shooting, but when they found [suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev] in the boat, they shut us down just like they shut everything else down. We were affected by the tragedy like everybody else around the world.”
On Friday, the flick screened at the Academy Theater for guests including Kevin Bacon, and OPI and Carnivor Cabernet sponsored a Monkey Bar reception.
