Jeremy Renner: 'I Learned A Lot From Tom Cruise'

Jeremy Renner has said that he learned a great deal from his 'Mission: Impossible' co-star Tom Cruise.

The 'Avengers' star lines up alongside Cruise in 'Ghost Protocol', the fourth installment of the 'M:I' franchise.

He told The Huffington Post: "It's a strange feeling when Tom Cruise calls your house. I'd met him several times over the years, and we'd sat down to discuss the movie.

"So I went home, the phone rang 15 minutes later, and it was Tom Cruise, asking if I wanted to do it. I couldn't say no, and it all worked out, and I've learned a lot from the guy this past year."

He continued: "Tom was very generous with time and compliments. He was very hands-on, and makes you feel part of it, so it was the opposite of intimidating, it was inspiring. He sets a high bar of wanting to make the film as great as it can be, with the best stunts. So we all just wanted to make the film great as well."

Renner has said that he doesn't feel particularly cool.

'Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol' is on general release.
