Jeremy Renner Walks Red Carpet for the First Time Since Near Death Experience

Jeremy Renner Walks Red Carpet for the First Time Since Near Death Experience 

By Movieguide® Contributor  

AVENGERS star, Jeremy Renner, broke over 30 bones, had his eye pop out of his head, and his sternum completely crushed in a recent snowplow accident.  

However, Renner is on the road to recover and recently walked the red-carpet hand-in-hand with his daughter, Ava, at the premier of his new show RENNERVATIONS, on Disney+.

Renner talked more about the accident that left him in the hospital with late-night host Jimmy Kimmel.

“It’s a snowcat, and it’s a necessity actually on the property because we’ve got so much snow up there. My mom wants to have a big old party and light it on fire… the thing’s amazing, it’s a necessity, it’s how we get to the house in these giant snowstorms, I just got to learn to drive it better,” Renner stated.  

Kimmel later said that if the roles were reversed with Renner, Kimmel would have complained and grumbled, “never getting out of bed,” but noted that Renner’s recovery has been unbelievable.  

 “It’s easy to do when you have the love and support that I have,” Renner stated. “Doing it alone would have been impossible. A lot of people, some are here, were a part of saving my life and keep me alive to breathe and move through.”  

“It took a lot of people,” Renner continued. “It starts with my family, my daughter, then a big part of my recovery was this show, it set a big milestone for me to get better, to make sure that all our hard work was not for naught. “For me, it was easy, I had somewhere to go, somewhere to point, and I had a lot of love, man.”  

Renner’s costar and best friend, Rory Millikin, expressed that Renner is “a very quiet and private person, and people don’t get to see what a huge heart he has.”  

Millikin went on to say that’s why many people stuck beside Renner when he had the accident, because “he’s worth it, he doesn’t understand how worth it that he really is.”  

Movieguide® previously reported the spectacular recovery of Renner:  

Renner was injured on January 1 while clearing snowfall from his Nevada property. After exiting from his snowplow, the vehicle began to slide, heading straight for his adult nephew. In an effort to slow down or stop the snowplow, Renner attempted to step on the track but was pulled under the vehicle instead and was fully run over. 

During the interview, Renner recalls not only the pain of being run over but also being “awake for every moment” of the accident. 

The actor was immediately rushed to the hospital, arriving in stable but critical condition, with 30 broken bones and blunt chest trauma. Yet he was discharged only two weeks later, already on the road to a quick recovery. 

The interview will look at the methods Renner is using as he continues to recover, including an anti-gravity treadmill and electric stimulation workouts. 

Sawyer’s piece will also return to the scene of the accident, with interviews of family members as well as the first responders who aided Renner amidst difficult weather conditions. 

“I just perfectly see him in a pool of blood coming from his head,” Renner’s nephew says in the trailer for the upcoming interview. “I ran up to him. I didn’t think he was alive.” 

As Renner continues to heal, he recently credited his daughter Ava as the motivation behind his speedy recovery. 

“Happy 10th Birthday to you!!!! So very proud of you in every way. Your hugs and your love, have healed me so incredibly fast,” he wrote in a birthday Instagram post.  

“I stand up for you, and I am stronger than before because of you. I am your Father, I am your protector, and I am only yours,” he concluded his message.
