I like how Jeremy is still feeling the confusion of that story to this day.

[Karen-pjcy]

When Jeremy said first of all how you got my number that was hilarious.

[whyruhere]

“How did you get my number?” Lmao, Jeremy's face is so cute when he says it.

[ish]

the conversation was probably something like this:
Tom: your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to play William Brandt, Chief Analyst of the Impossible Mission Force, also known as the IMF.
Jeremy: um, okay..?
Tom: say the words Brandt
Jeremy: i accept the mission
Tom: *hangs up*
*phone explodes*

Most actors have to chase down roles like this. But in this case the role looked for him and found him.

[RyanMah]

l love Jeremy Renner in all his movies. He did an amazing job in ghost protocol

[Starlightean]

I can just imagine Abrams just carrying Tom around wherever he goes.

[trevorphilips]

Jeremy just nails every action movie, I can't understand why he doesn't play in more. Everyone knows him from his marvel character and that's so wrong.

[runner]

Jeremy Renner is the Hawkeye of acting.

[forkyyyy]

The final scene in arrival shows how dam good of an actor he is

[JoseBarriosPika]

Did anyone else hear a woman say, "Yeah" at 1:51?

[Buddygrooveknight]

What's the big deal? Tom Cruise calls my house all the time.

[Cmpblor]

Conan just did a back hand Tom Cruise is in the closet joke. Brilliant!

[ielizabethm]

Conan: "Hi! Please subscribe to my videos so that I can stop shooting these videos. Please."

LOL. Poor Conan.

[jonteh]

He opens the closet and there sits Tom Cruise... Heh Heh!

[di-gun]

honestly he's the best crewmate in the entire movie series

it's a shame he just got written out like that, i think brandt and ethan could've made an amazing duo

[AthenaSaints]

Infuriate any actor? So what...Jeremy has been working since 1995.  If he has a good track record, why wouldn't Cruise just call him for a movie (i.e. without audition)?

[cecillemilitante]

I can neither confirm nor deny any details of any search investigation without the Secretary's consent.

[themarvelbunchhighlights]

Jeremy be so cute I mean the faces he does Lmao

[GuiiBrazil]

As a brazilian fan of american talk shows, I'm REALLY glad they are investing on You Tube.

Cheers.
