Jeremy Renner

Jezebel article on Jeremy Renner's appearance on Ellen. Lots of Renner love in the comments. Le sigh..

The full Ellen clip here.

There is something strange-yet-so-delightful about the way he seems to be so comfortable speaking about "woman"-ish things. You know, uterus, make-up, his momma. He appears at ease with subjects that are stereotypically feminine and he manages to not to come across like a colossal dick, he's just really genuine. I don't think I'm explaining myself well, but I adore him more and more after every new interview.

I always wear a silly grin when he and Anthony Mackie are filmed jumping up and down and hugging each other, as they on stage did upon The Hurt Locker winning Best Picture.

He's a cutie. I have not seen 'Hurt Locker' yet but will.

Jeremy Renner's Secret Side Gig: Flipping Houses

[Deleted]

That is so cool. I wish I had that sort of talent and cash; I'd love to flip houses. And so many people do it quickly and shoddily, but it looks like his work is actually very good. His "co-investor" is the guy rumored to be his boyfriend, right?

Tapped to be the new Bourne lead?

Jeremy Renner is reportedly Universal’s top choice to star in ‘The Bourne Legacy’, a film that writer/director Ton Gilroy says is not a franchise reboot. Just last week there was a total of six up-and-coming actors shortlisted as potentials to headline The Bourne Legacy for Universal Pictures. Now word has gotten out that the studio is prepped to send out an offer to star in the spinoff sequel to none other than the seemingly ubiquitous, multiple Oscar-nominee, Jeremy Renner.

To clarify that last comment: Renner is currently working on Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters, will be starring alongside Tom Cruise in Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol this winter, and is already set to become Hawkeye in next year’s The Avengers.

While Bourne 4 shares its name with Eric Van Lustbader’s 2004 novel, Bourne Legacy will be an original creation penned and directed by Bourne Ultimatum co-screenwriter Tony Gilroy. The project is described as not being a requel (a rebooting sequel, that is) but instead a story set within the Bourne-verse that involves a new government agent/assassin – and would allow for Matt Damon to return as Jason Bourne in a fifth film, if he desires.

Yay! I'm a little worried because he's got 2 major franchise films coming up, but he's 100X better than Shia & the other actors circling this film.

They've officially made him the offer to be the lead in the next Bourne movie.

I presume he will take the role if they can work around his busy schedule. I find him to be an interesting choice - somewhat like choosing Daniel Craig as Bond. He'll add a certain grit that Damon doesn't have but I'm glad they aren't actually recasting Jason Bourne. I would very much enjoy a film starring both Damon and Renner.

Busy man. He's set to play Steve McQueen for his own production company.

I like him but I don't think he's hot. To me he looks stunted, like a Hobbit; which would probably work for me since I'm only 5'2". And I did see "The Hurt Locker" three times.

Stunted or not, I'd hit that.
