Jeremy Renner covers the latest issue of Details, and the 40-year-old actor talks about his early struggles to make it in Hollywood and how being nominated for two Oscars hasn't changed him one bit.

On his film roles, Jeremy said, “I’m blessed to have cool roles in these big movies. Because nothing against Transformers, but thank God I don’t have to do a monologue to a robot. I don’t know how Shia, God bless him, does that.” Hmm, we don't think Shia would take too kindly to that remark, especially since he's had plenty of other legit acting jobs before and after the highly lucrative Michael Bay franchise!

Of course, Jeremy just doesn't seem to care what anyone thinks about him. He tells the mag, “I don’t pay attention to that horses***. Build ‘em up to bring ‘em down? I’m not going on that train, my son. I’m not going on that train. I’ll walk. I’ll take a bike. I’d rather just not be popular.”

With The Avengers and Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol, is there any room for a lady love in his life? Nope! “I never dated, because I couldn’t afford to date," he tells the mag. "I didn’t even have electricity. You try to put a positive spin on it, like, ‘Hey, this is so sexy—look at all these candles!’ But I loved what I was doing. The sacrifices I made in personal relationships had the biggest effect on my life. Even now, any woman would take a No. 2 seat to my job.” Well that's a bummer!

J. Lo has warmed audiences on American Idol, but she's about to get cold: the diva has signed on to the new Ice Age movie.

In Ice Age: Continental Drift, out in 2012, Lopez will play Shira, a snow leopard.

Also new to the franchise are Jeremy Renner, who will play a character named Gutt, Drake as Ethan, Wanda Sykes as Granny and Aziz Ansari as Walter.

But familiar faces will be back; Ray Romano as mammoth Manny, Queen Latifah as Ellie, Dennis Leary as Diego, John Leguizamo as Sid, Seann William Scott as Crash and Josh Peck as Eddie.

J. Lo's participation in the film falls under an overall deal she signed with Fox to be a judge on American Idol. But she also has her own projects in the works; see what big announcement is coming Thursday after the jump!

Jeremy Renner has been chosen as the lead in The Bourne Legacy, the latest flick in the Jason Bourne franchise.

Renner, who got Oscar nominations for The Hurt Locker and The Town, will replace Matt Damon as the lead in the franchise, though reports are that Renner will not be playing Jason Bourne. Instead, he'll be another super assassin similar to Bourne (we're guessing in case the studio wants to bring Matt Damon back at some point.) Production on The Bourne Legacy starts in September.

Renner's upcoming films include Thor, Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol and The Avengers.

See who else was up for the role after the jump (hint: one of them is Renner's former co-star.)

Ryan Reynolds' 26-year-old ex, who is presenting Best Sound Editing and Best Sound Mixing, worked the Oscars red carpet with the equally sexy Hurt Locker star Jeremy Renner.

Even though ScarJo showed up to the awards with a mystery man and only joined Mr. Renner for the red carpet, we'd love for these two hotties to give it try off the red carpet. A delicious duo, indeed!

After almost a year of speculation that Hurt Locker's Jeremy Renner was Tom Cruise's successor in the Mission: Impossible franchise, the sexy 39-year-old actor has finally confirmed it!

While on set in Dubai filming Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol, Renner tells MTV News:

"It's a franchise to potentially take over. I can't predict the future and what they want, but that's certainly the idea."

Renner, who is also set to star as a superhero in the upcoming The Avengers, admits to being inspired by Cruise during the filming of stunt-heavy scenes:

"I haven't gotten to work too much in terms of acting stuff, but the stunts have been insane. Tom has been doing loads. He's crazy, that guy. It's unbelievable. He's fearless. He's great to watch. He inspires me to want to be better. I'm training in the gym and working out and fighting and doing everything I can to try and keep up. I'm doing hand-to-hand combat, Muay Thai and kung fu and learning how to take someone out quickly. I need to look like I know what I'm doing!"

As for his craziest stunt, Renner jokingly says, "Everything." We can't wait to see his hot body in action.

Jeremy Renner, who we can't wait to see in The Town, strikes a sexy pose for the latest issue of GQ. The actor chats about his breakout role, the upcoming Avengers movie and his experience with other famous faces after he made it big.

On meeting Sean Penn for the first time, Jeremy says, "I was backstage at the Palm Springs Film Festival, and it was really dark back there, and he comes over and gets in my face. And he's like, 'Dude, you were tremendous in Hurt Locker. You're going to the afterparty, right? 'Cause me and you are gonna have a few drinks, and I'm gonna talk to you.'"

No doubt Jeremy is sexy, but will the 40-year-old actor fill the shoes of Tom Cruise?

Jeremy Renner will be going head-to-head with Tom Cruise in Mission: Impossible 4.

Reports are claiming that Renner, who scored an Oscar nomination for his role in The Hurt Locker, will be playing an equally important role to Cruise ... not a supporting role.

Sources claim that Paramount is gearing Renner to take over as a possible replacement for the Mission: Impossible franchise.

Renner is certainly on a role! Up next, he's starring opposite Ben Affleck and Blake Lively in The Town ... and he also signed on to play Hawkeye in The Avengers.

M:I4 will hit theaters in December 2011.

Alexander Skarsgard, Jeremy Renner, Adrien Brody and Josh Peck (of Drake & Josh, duh) all convened at the Chateau Marmont yesterday, leading us to suspect they had gathered for a hot dude convention!

Skarsgard, our favorite vamp is currently promoting a new film, Metropia, as well as season three of True Blood -- we can't wait!

But those weren't the only hotties spotted at Lilo's favorite hotel...
