Jeremy Renner
Actor speaks out on recovery from 1 January 2023 accident during New Year’s Eve event with Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen
Jeremy Renner, known for his role in the Avengers franchise, opened up about his recovery from a severe snowplough accident last year during an appearance on the New Year’s Eve Live broadcast hosted by Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen.
The 52-year-old Marvel actor who portrays Hawkeye broke more than 30 bones and faced severe injuries in the 1 January 2023 accident. He expressed to Cooper and Cohen the gratitude he felt during his recovery, specifically thanking his 10-year-old daughter and family and recognizing the potential impact the event had on their lives had he not survived.
“There was a lot for me to fight for, and recovery was just a one-way road in my mind,” said the Marvel star. “My recovery became a relief for me because I knew I could give relief to my family, my daughter and all those that I really affected.”
Renner was hospitalised in critical condition with blunt chest trauma and orthopaedic injuries in early January 2023 when his Sno-Cat machine ran him over. The actor was trying to help his nephew free his car from snow near his home in Lake Tahoe, when the Sno-Cat began to roll. The machine crushed the actor as he tried to stop it from hitting his nephew.
Renner shared that his attitude played a crucial role in his road to recovery.
“With that, I’d never thought about my own physical ailments, my own pain, or my own anguish,” Renner said. “I had so many things to fight for, so the one-way road of recovery was my mental, sort of, attitude, and that attitude was always to get better. There’s no option other than that.”
The actor had been using social media to keep his fans up to date on his progress, posting videos of him walking for the first time with the assistance of an anti-gravity treadmill and using a knee scooter to move around.
Renner hinted that he was ready to return to acting after recently posting an Instagram story of him and Emma Laird, a co-star in Mayor of Kingstown, on set.
