Jeremy Renner ‘felt like Pitt in Philippines’

(Cover) - EN Movies - Jeremy Renner felt like “Brad Pitt” while he was shooting a movie in the Philippines.

The actor was filming The Bourne Legacy with Rachel Weisz in the country’s capital, Manila. In a community that is not used to seeing celebrities, Jeremy has received plenty of attention during his stay.

“It’s the strangest thing,” he told UK magazine Empire.

“Rachel has been around this for a long time and even she said she’s kind of baffled by it here. It’s an amazing and very welcoming community, but you certainly feel like you’re Brad Pitt or something.”

Jeremy plays a new CIA operative in the film based on Robert Ludlum’s novels. He hopes that he will one day get to work alongside former Bourne star Matt Damon.

“Selfishly I dream of Matt and I actually doing one, being adversaries or whatever it may be,” he said.

“But there’s no talks or anything. This one has to do well, people have to like it and want to see another one.”

As for fight scenes Jeremy doesn’t see himself getting aggressive with Matt in real life. He believes the pair would get along famously.

“I think we’d rather get a beer than fight,” he laughed.

The film is currently in post-production and is due for worldwide release from August. Following Bourne, Jeremy begins working alongside Joaquin Phoenix in an untitled movie from Two Lovers director James Gray.
