Jeremy Renner Updates Fans on Health, Jokes that he is Taking his ‘New’ Body for a ‘Test Drive’
By Movieguide® Contributor
Following a snowplow accident in January 2023, Jeremy Renner provided an update on his Instagram.
Renner captioned the post, “I’ve decided to push through the pain of progress (this shattered tibia) and take the new parts for a tiny test drive.”
He added, “The body is miraculous…. Even though I feel like the Tin Man, needing oil for all my new joints (hips, knees, ankles, tibia etc.). Encouraged after this warmup to press on (don’t tell my PT).”
Renner also posted a video of his journey that his physical therapist made.
He stated, “My PT made this for reference and to remember, you cannot walk unless you take one step at a time!”
Movieguide® recently reported Jeremy Renner walking the red carpet with his daughter following his accident:
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.”
