Renner mentioned that he wants his life to remain private because he wants his wife to be able "to go about her day without being bothered."

The actor, famous for playing the role of Hawkeye in Joss Whedon's "The Avengers" also said that it had been difficult on his part to be away from his family when she is shooting on location.

Renner, who has a 17-month-old daughter said, "The only thing I think about when I'm not with my baby is, 'How do I get to my baby?' I need to get to her, and I'm very miserable when I don't see her."

He also said that he really loves being a father. "The only thing that has changed is my perspective on things. I still work, probably even more. It used to be for myself so I'm not old and broke. All these things I still do, but I do it now for the future of my baby, and if it gets in the way of her well-being, then I stop," the dedicated father said.

Renner just recently wrapped up filming his scenes for "Avengers: Age of Ultron" when he tweeted that he would was about to start filming with Tom Cruise for the fifth installation of the "Mission: Impossible" films.

The movie is currently filming in Morroco, but Renner has returned to the United States for the weekend to promote his new film, "Kill the Messenger."
