Jeremy Renner Reveals How The Snowplow Accident Changed His Life
Jeremy Renner had a near-death experience after his snowplow accident that occurred in January this year when Renner was helping his nephew whose vehicle was badly stuck in the snow. The Arrival star suffered blunt chest trauma and orthopedic injuries which left the actor hospitalized in critical condition in Nevada. Jeremy Renner after a successful recovery process has shared some of the biggest changes he made after almost dying. He told CNN:
“I just feel very blessed and very lucky to be upright and walk around and to live life. I’m very, very clear. My life is really lean if that makes sense. There’s no fat in my life anymore. I don’t have time for that. So, there’s something really beautiful about having that superpower.”
The Hensel and Gretel: Witch Hunters star emphasized the changes that he has witnessed in the past nine months and how the destructive accident made him realize certain things. The Avengers star added:
“I was really clear about how I want to spend my time, and who I want to spend my time with. This to me feels like family, sort of lifestyle things we talk about all the time. And then we have the spirit itself, it’s much more the shared experience. And that to me is where I want to spend my time.”
Jeremy Renner shared that this accident proved to be a test for him that brought challenges, pain, and recovery while making him understand the importance of time and prioritizing his family.

“I’ve decided to push through the pain of progress (this damn shattered tibia) and take the new parts for a tiny test drive.
