Jeremy Renner "Actually Died" During Snowplow Accident According to MAYOR OF KINGSTOWN Co-Star
It’s been just over 16 months since Marvel actor Jeremy Renner’s near-death accident where he was run over by a snow plow while saving his nephew from harm.
His injuries included eight ribs broken in 14 places, right knee and right ankle broken, left leg tibia broken, left ankle broken, right clavicle broken, right shoulder broken, as well as broken eye socket, jaw, and mandible. His lung was collapsed, and a rib bone pierced his liver.
It was a gruesome accident, and he is lucky to be alive, much less back to work and thriving.
In a recent interview with Renner’s Mayor of Kingstown co-star Michael Beach, he revealed that the MCU vet "actually died" following the incident.
"Jeremy [Renner] is a war horse, man. I mean that guy, you know, he broke 38 bones. He actually died, which I didn't know until he told me, and he's been coming back. And he says he wasn't sure how it would be. But he was ready. And he says every week, he feels stronger and stronger. And there's been no interruption because of his physical abilities or not. He's in it doing it. He's great. Yeah, he's a great guy, man. And he's really as tough as nails."
It makes sense that he flatlined at least once, considering his extensive injuries. It’s been a truly miraculous recovery. It will be that much cooler to see his character Hawkeye return to the MCU one day knowing how far he has come.
