This morning I’m playing music in a coffee house in Oak Park - a suburb just west of Chicago. Sometime around 8 a.m., a guy sits down at a table very close to us who looks EXACTLY like Jeremy Renner.

I don’t really think much about it as we play music and he eats his breakfast. There weren’t many people in the coffeehouse, but I don’t notice anyone approaching him or anything.

At one point, one of the pickers refills his coffee and says something to him like, “Excuse me, Bradley Cooper. May I have your autograph.” According to my friend, he says he’s not Bradley Cooper but Jeremy Renner, and his show is filming in Chicago."

That’s it. I check on-line, and can’t find anything about JR being/filming in Chicago. I’m saying this is a doppelgänger. What say you?
