In his interview on Good Morning America, Renner shared his emotions and concerns about returning to acting following a near-fatal snowplow accident he experienced last year.

He said he was too "worried about real life" to put his all into Season 3 of 'Mayor of Kingstown.'  

Last year, Renner faced a harrowing ordeal when a rogue Pistenbully snowplow ran him over at his Nevada home. The accident resulted in several broken bones, blunt chest trauma, and severe blood loss, as reported by CNN.

Renner confessed that filming for 'Mayor of Kingstown' Season 3 posed significant challenges, even after he was fit enough to return to work following grueling physiotherapy.

The physical demands of filming, combined with the lingering effects of his injuries, made it a tough transition. 

He told Good Morning America, "My mind thinks I’m like, perfect. My body is saying, ‘Dude, you’re a hot mess! Chill out, pump the breaks, man!"
