Hollywood actor Jeremy Renner said he had “so many things to live for” as he detailed his recovery one year after his near-fatal snowploughing accident.
The Avengers actor, 52, broke more than 30 bones and had multiple operations after he was accidentally run over by his six-tonne snowplough while trying to help his nephew on 1 January 2023.
Discussing his recovery, Renner told CNN: “I’m just so blessed that I have so many things to live for.
“I have a giant family, I have a 10-year-old daughter. 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.”
Jeremy Renner’s first jog since accident
Renner, who plays Hawkeye in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, described himself as “pretty stubborn” and said his recovery “was just a one-way road in my mind”.
He said his “poor nephew” Alexander Fries who witnessed the incident had “images that he can never unsee”.
“I know that my healing would be healing for him,” Renner added.
“With that, I 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 attitude, and that attitude was always to get better. There’s no option other than that.”

Renner was airlifted to hospital in Reno, Nevada, and spent some time in an intensive care unit.
