Bourne Legacy star Jeremy Renner covers Esquire Magazine August 2012 issue.

Here is what the 41-year-old Bourne Legacy actor had to share with the mag:

On before he was famous: “I used to hang out at karaoke bars all the time. It was the most fun you could have when you had no money. I went [to Barney's Beanery] twice a week from 1995 until, like, 2002. Religiously.”

On the stock market: “I will never be in the stock market. It’s just gambling. I’m a gambler, but I’ll gamble on the practicality of things. If I’m all-in on a structure, at least I can sleep in the damn thing.”

On how he measures success: “Architecture and building is about how you get around the obstacles that are presented to you. That sometimes determines how successful you’ll be: How good are you at going around obstacles?”

SM Cinemas has just unveiled a new official movie poster for ‘The Bourne Legacy’ which features Jeremy Renner standing on the narrow alley which was shot in Sta. Ana, Manila. The now infamous narrow alley can be seen on the movie’s official trailer.

“The Bourne Legacy”  also stars Rachel Weisz, Joan Allen and Edward Norton. It opens in cinemas on August 3.

TRAILER: New ‘Bourne Legacy’ Trailer features scenes from Manila!

A new trailer for the ‘Bourne Legacy’ movie just came out and the scenes that were shot in Manila were featured.  This is the first official full-length trailer for the new Bourne film.

The fourth movie based on Robert Ludlum's novels (though it's not taken from the book called "The Bourne Legacy") stars Jeremy Renner ("The Avengers") as Aaron Cross (or Kenneth Gidson), an operative whose skill set is described in the trailer as "Treadstone without the inconsistency." The movie picks up after the events of "The Bourne Ultimatum," with several actors, including Joan Allen, David Strathairn and Albert Finney, reprising their roles.

First-time "Bourne" director Tony Gilroy (he wrote or co-wrote the first three movies) doesn't skimp on the franchise's action sequences: There's a knockout motorcycle chase featured about two-thirds of the way through the trailer, and the stunt work looks pretty fantastic. The trailer doesn't do much to clarify the plot, but it's apparently still very much about Jason Bourne. The CIA is still looking for him, and everyone freaks out when word leaks that he's made his way to New York (you'll even see Damon's face in a news broadcast at the 1:12 mark).

"The Bourne Legacy" also stars Rachel Weisz and Edward Norton. It hits theaters Aug. 3.

Even her close friends, model Georgina Wilson and actress-model Solenn Heussaff, also revealed on Twitter that they consider Norton as their top favorite actor.

That's why it wasn't surprising when they turned into "die-hard" fans for a while and were reported visiting the set of 'The Bourne Legacy' just to see Edward Norton.

Georgina and Solenn along with friends, TV host Raymond Gutierrez and actress Carla Humphries, were reportedly scene-stealers at the shoot, as some people wondered why they were there and thought they're part of the film as "extras".

Some other Filipino celebrities who also admitted on Twitter that they're a fan of Edward Norton are Jason Abalos, Glaiza de Castro, Paulo Avelino, Megan and Lauren Young, Saab Magalona, Biboy Ramirez, Karen delos Reyes, Patty Laurel and Mo Twister.
