Jeremy Renner Shares His Motivation to Survive and Reveals He Starts Shooting MAYOR OF KINGSTOWN Season 3 in a Week
A year after the tragic snowplow accident that almost killed him, Jeremy Renner is preparing to start shooting Mayor of Kingstown Season 3! Renner is ready to get back to work!
This revelation came from an interview with Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen on CNN’s New Year’s Eve special Sunday night, and Renner told the co-hosts:
“I think I’m ready, I think I’m strong enough. We’ll see…. I literally go back in a week. But I’ll be doing my best, trying my hardest.”
So, Renner will start working again next week, which is pretty freakin’ incredible. This guy is a true inspiration. During the interview, Renner was asked how he managed to get through his “unbelievable battle with his year-long recovery, Renner said:
“I’m just so blessed that I have so many things to live for, brother. I have a giant family, I have a 10-year-old daughter, [and] I would’ve disappointed and really messed up a lot of people’s lives if I would’ve passed, and so there’s a lot for me to get better for.
“I’m a pretty stubborn S.O.B. There was a lot for me to fight for, and recovery was just a one-way road in my mind. My recovery became relief for me, because I knew I could give relief to my family, my daughter and all those that I really affected. And my poor nephew, who was there with me on that day, I gave him images that he can never unsee, but I know that my healing would be healing for him.
“With that. I’d never thought about my own physical ailments, my own pain, or my own anguish. I had so many things to fight for, so the one-way road of recovery was my mental, sort of, attitude, and that attitude was always to get better. There’s no option other than that. And I still work at every part, every day, and thank God that I have a lot to fight for.”
Wow… that’s really all I can say to that. Renner seems like an amazing human being.
This interview came on the eve of the release of Renner’s first single off his new album Love and Titanium. The songs on the album are inspired by his recovery.
