Jeremy Renner has shared an emotional message on Instagram, reflecting on the two-year anniversary of his near-fatal snowplow accident. The Avengers star sustained severe injuries in January 2023 while trying to save his nephew from being hit by a runaway snowplow. The accident left him with a pierced liver, multiple fractures, and lung injuries. In his heartfelt post, Renner expressed gratitude to the “army” of first responders, medical staff, and neighbors who helped save his life during the harrowing ordeal.
Renner referred to the date as his “Rebirthday” and detailed how the love, prayers, and support from around the world helped him through recovery. He praised his nephew and neighbors for their bravery and apologized for the traumatic images they endured during the chaos of that icy morning. Renner emphasized the profound changes in his perspective, stating he feels “more open, more loved, more connected, and blessed” to take each new step in life.
Since the accident, Renner has taken a more selective approach to his career. He admitted on the Smartless podcast that he lacks the energy to portray challenging characters and is focused on his physical and mental recovery. Despite these challenges, he recently returned to acting, filming the third season of Mayor of Kingstown and preparing for his role in an upcoming Knives Out film.
Renner’s candid reflections highlight his resilience and the importance of support systems in overcoming adversity. His journey continues to inspire fans as he balances healing with returning to the work he loves.
