‘Lower pain levels mark major progress’: Jeremy Renner shares an update on his recovery from a near-fatal snowplow accident
Jeremy Renner shared an update on his recovery in a new social media post on Thursday.
The 52-year-old Mayor of Kingstown actor posted a photo of his lower body while performing physical therapy and wrote of the “great progress” he is making on his journey to full recovery.
The Hawkeye star, who made his first red carpet appearance since the near-fatal accident at the premiere of his Disney+ series, Rennervations, said “Lower pain levels mark major progress”.
Earlier this year, Renner survived being crushed by a 14,000-pound snowplow and suffered serious injuries, including more than 30 broken bones.

In the caption, the California native also wrote that he’s been working “to make recovery and surpassing goals a daily habit.”
The photo shared by Renner did not show his face, but only the lower half of his body as he exercised on an anti-gravity treadmill.
In April, the Academy Award nominee appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live to promote his documentary miniseries.
During the interview, he also spoke of how “lucky” he was to survive the terrifying accident.
He revealed that it was fortunate that the machine was missing the critical parts of his anatomy.
“It just missed every vertebra, didn’t hit any organs, the membrane didn’t swell,” he explained.
“My eye popped out — that’s weird — but I was lucky none of the organs got messed up,” he added.
More than 30 of Renner’s bones were broken in the New Year’s Day accident.

He was hospitalized in “critical condition” and underwent multiple surgical procedures.
When asked by Kimmel what was the best way out of the incident, Renner joked and replied that he was getting the rest of the year off.
“I was making so many plans,” he replied. ‘I would buy a boat. I was going to live in Mexico…because my year was pretty packed until I got crushed, wasn’t it?’
“And then it was also like a New Year’s resolution,” he continued. “I’ve lost 20 pounds.”
Renner continued in a good mood: “I quit smoking. It’s easy! Easiest way to quit smoking, I tell you!’
