This is the fifth in a series of posts dedicated to all the Jeremy Renner fangirls and fanboys who don’t have the time and/or the willingness to make fools of themselves just for a chance to ogle the JRen at the filming of his movie The Bourne Legacy in the Philippines. #teamRennerManila is at your service.
Read part 1 here.
Saturday, 18 February 2012. 1500hrs (ish).
We were getting wet. It was raining, but we had a nice-ish view of Jeremy Renner sitting, talking to people around him. Then we realized this was getting ridiculous and we ran for cover. The rain didn’t last long, though. I was getting hungry so we headed back to the cafeteria for more food. One of Annie’s friends had come to join us, but she couldn’t get in the campus because classes were over for the day and the guards weren’t letting anyone in anymore. “Do you think I should go outside and see her?” Annie said. “ARE YOU CRAZY??” I said. “They might not let you in anymore.” Sometimes you leave no man behind; sometimes it’s every fangirl for herself. (Sorry, Annie’s friend! Come with us next time.)
We took some time in the cafeteria, as the hotdog I bought had to be, well, cooked. I was tired (my most strenuous physical activity these days is shopping) and thirsty. I chugged down a liter of water, hoping my bladder wouldn’t make me regret it later, because if good stuff was happening at the shoot, I didn’t wanna have to run for the bathroom. As we exited the building, we saw that the security people had blocked off the way back to where we were hanging out earlier. But it was fine because apparently the action was right in front of us.
There’s a monument in the middle of the PUP campus. What monument that was, I had no idea. Anyway, the huge truck where JRen and the director were discussing a scene earlier was parked beside it. This was our view, except we were on the ground:

JRen pulled up sans jacket on the motorbike and disappeared from our view behind the truck. After a while he started to drive off slowly while nodding to whomever he was talking to behind the truck. Then he drove towards the gate, where we remembered the truck containing the five or so versions of the same bike were being kept. Then after a while we saw him come back on foot.
Yes, Jeremy Renner returned the bike himself. No, he didn’t have one of the many crew people there do it for him. Yes, he is awesome like that.
