Jeremy was so great in the Mission Impossible Movies, I would love to see him return to his role in next film!

Dahmer must of been a bit different because l few Jeremy Renner such a terrific actor he would have to put away his true humanity side and become such an opposite of himself.

I was obsessed with national lampoon’s senior trip and watched it like every day when it came out so…I’ve been on him since day 1

One of the best in movies today, a cool dude, and tough as nails guy to survive and heal
@MitchFace

I like that he gets why Hawkeye is a cool character. Everyone sees him as just the guy with the bow and arrow but him being just a guy with a bow and arrow is what makes him awesome.

Arrival was such an unexpected amazing journey and experience, Jeremy's role could have been bigger, but the film was so unique, interesting and beautiful, the ending didn't matter to me at all…the movie truly was about the journey. ❤️🎬❤️ It's probably my favorite Amy Adams film. Having Jeremy in it was a wonderful bonus.
@dalevintage

For-the-record, I do admire Jeremy's talent and personality, he's always seemed a genuine guy, grounded…specially for being in Hollywood. ❤️🎬👍

The anecdote about overhearing the people talking about cracked nail polish & having to make a quick exit: that is one of the most interesting stories.
@marwanel-aghoury8822

He is a perfect cast to the Bourne World 🙌👌
I have a strong hope that he will return to that world again or make more presence in movies like mission impossible or espionage movies in general 🙌✌️

I loved the way Wind River brought to us what has been and is happening to young Native girls and young women. It broke my heart and made me cry but I will never forget it , or the anger and despair I felt at the way the FBI are so uninterested and dismissive of such an enormous loss of life, murdered young girls and women 😂😂😂

I like Renner is everything I've seen him in. He's an actor that draws me to a show or movie.

I already love this guy forever because he's a smart artist who you invest in. Every time he appears on film it's a gift because he delivers. They need to get Bourne Legacy 6 already and finish that arc, for him. He's an artist and seems like a really great guy.
