‘It just missed every vertebra’
Renner put up the post nearly four months after he fractured 30 broken bones in the accident. He was attempting to retrieve his nephew's vehicle from the snow in his driveway when the acident occurred. He was immediately rushed to the aforementioned hospital with multiple injuries, including a collapsed lung and a pierced liver.
Earlier this week, Renner said on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' that he "got lucky in a number of ways" while speaking about the accident, adding that crucial parts of his body were spared from harm when he got caught beneath the vehicle. "It's like a giant metal - like cookie roller, right? And it just missed every vertebra, did not hit any organs, membrane did not swell - my eye did pop out, that's weird. But I got pretty lucky that none of the organs got messed up," he said, adding that he would be "apologizing" to the nurses that had to deal with him in the early days of his recovery.
Jeremy Renner’s classy red carpet appearance
Following the interview, Renner made his first red-carpet appearance since the accident as walked hand-in-hand with his 10-year-old daughter, Ava Berlin, at the premiere of his Disney+ series docuseries 'Rennervations'. Renner, who is reportedly "in a lot of pain," looked wonderful and was surrounded by a large group of family and close companions to celebrate his upcoming Disney+ series. Supported by a cane, he wore a classy navy blue suit along with a matching tie and a white collared shirt.
