“‘Jeremy listen we’re going to f*ck us on Amy and take the camera and cum on your face.'” To which Jimmy Kimmel began laughing, “That’s what I would do, I would laugh and he’s like ‘you must take me seriously.'”

Renner had difficulty understanding Villeneuve’s accent and it became even more amusing when he was unable to translate the words from French to English. This even got funnier because while he was attempting to say ‘focus,’ he kept messing the word up into something more inappropriate without realizing it. Villeneuve even asked for the actor to be more serious and he couldn’t help but laugh.
