On New Year’s Day in January 2023, the Hawkeye star was left in a critical condition after being run over by his 14,000-pound PistenBully snowcat. He was airlifted to hospital, where he underwent several operations to treat his injuries.
Yesterday (January 1), Renner took to Instagram to thank those who saved his life.
“Happy New Year blessings to you all…. Ringing in my second ‘ReBirthday’ today
I send out my love, respect, and gratitude for the army of people that it took to put me back together again,” he wrote.
“Thank you to each and every nurse, doctor, first responder… I literally owe you my life. All my heart goes out to my beautiful, brave nephew and the angels (my neighbours) who jumped to my aid and endured the chaos for 45 long minutes on the icy asphalt New Years morning. I’m so sorry all the haunting images I imprinted on you all (I’ll spare you all from the meat grinding images )….”
He went on to thank those who sent messages of support adding: “My gratitude list is very long …. With the amount of love and prayers that flooded in from you all around the world (needing each and everyone of them), my family never leaving my side , with some divine intervention, a bit of luck and a whole lot of miracles … I stand strong again.
“More Open. More Loved. More Connected. And fucking BLESSED to take my next step, to take MY NEXT BREATH. Thank you with every fiber and cell in my body. I love you ALL.”
Having made a full recovery, Renner returned to work last year. In a recent interview with Good Morning America, he discussed how it felt being back on set of his Paramount+ crime thriller, Mayor Of Kingstown.
“Starting the season this year at the beginning of the year was a little dicey, strength-wise, but by the end of it, usually you’re pretty shattered energy-wise but I feel pretty strong,” he said. “I had to physically and emotionally lean on the cast and crew to get through the days. They compensated with scheduling and stuff, so I could get stronger.”
He is set to star in the third instalment of the Knives Out series Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery later this year alongside Daniel Craig, Alien: Romulus’ Cailee Spaeny, Josh Brolin, Mila Kunis, Josh O’Connor and All Of Us Strangers’ Andrew Scott.
