Jeremy Renner is reflecting on the one-year anniversary of his life-altering New Year’s Day snowplow incident with gratitude. The 52-year-old “Avengers” star has undergone an incredible recovery over the past 12 months after being crushed by his 14,000-pound snowplow while attempting to free his nephew’s car from deep snow in Nevada. In the near-fatal accident, Renner sustained injuries, including breaking over 30 bones, a collapsed lung, and a pierced liver.
Renner joined CNN’s “New Year’s Eve Live” with Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen, where he shared insights into his remarkable journey over the past year. Speaking over a video link, he expressed, “I’m with my family who were actually all with me last year. We have a lot to celebrate this year and kind of recorrect what happened last year. I feel pretty blessed.”
During the challenging experience, Renner expressed his gratitude for having numerous reasons to persevere. “I’m so blessed that I had so many things to live for,” he remarked. Highlighting his extensive family and a 10-year-old daughter, Renner acknowledged the potential impact on their lives had he not survived. He emphasized, “I would have disappointed and really messed up a lot of people’s lives if I had passed. So there’s a lot for me to get better for. I’m also pretty stubborn, and there’s a lot for me to fight for.” Jeremy Renner is reflecting
Jeremy Renner has a new music single set to release on New Year’s Day, and he unveiled the cover art earlier this month. The artwork features Renner sitting on a dock alongside his 10-year-old daughter, Ava Berlin Renner.
In discussing the project on Sunday, Renner shared that creating music has always been a cathartic and healing experience for him. He explained, “But this is more of a narrative of the life and death and recovery of all last year. So it’s like a journal entry. It was a wonderfully healing.” The upcoming music single serves as a creative expression of Renner’s journey through the challenges of the past year, encapsulating the themes of life, death, and recovery.
