He also appeared on CNN's New Year's Eve broadcast, where he opened up to hosts Andy Cohen and Anderson Cooper about his recovery.
“I'm so blessed to have so many things to live for, brother. I have a huge family, I have a 10 year old daughter, [and] I would have disappointed and really ruined a lot of people's lives if I had died, and so there's a lot I can be better off of,” Renner replied.
“There was a lot I had to fight for, and recovery was just a one-way street in my mind. My recovery became a relief for me because I knew I could give relief to my family, my daughter and everyone I had truly affected,” he said.
“With that, I never thought about my own physical ailments, my own pain, or my own fear. I had so many things to fight for, so the one-way road to recovery was my mental attitude, and that attitude was always about getting better. There is no other option than that. And I still work every day, and I thank God that I have a lot to fight for,” he added.
