Jeremy Renner’s acting career in Hollywood is “no longer a priority for him” after a snowplow accident

Jeremy Renner’s Hollywood career has been thrown into serious doubt today, as a source close to the star revealed that acting is no longer a “priority” for him following his horrific snowplow accident.

An insider who recently spent time with Jeremy, 52, tells the DailyMail.com exclusively that “while he still loves acting, Hollywood just isn’t a priority for him anymore.”

According to the source, Jeremy’s focus has shifted from his on-screen career in the wake of his terrifying New Year’s Day accident at his Lake Tahoe home, where he was crushed under a 14,000-pound snowplow, breaking more than 30 bones.

“Jeremy believes he survived the accident so he can use his platform to really create change in the world,” the insider said.

“He’s very proud of the work he’s done, but this whole situation has really shown him that there’s so much more he could do to help others,” the insider says.

Jeremy has since left the Lake Tahoe home where the accident occurred and has returned to his Los Angeles property, where he is focusing on his recovery – as he was unable to walk due to the injuries he sustained during the accident. incident.

The source continued that Jeremy’s mother Valerie, 69 – who accompanied him to the 2010 Oscars – has been a “huge” source of support for the star, revealing that she has “been by his side as much as possible.”

“His mother comes to stay with him most weekends, as does his daughter Ava,” says the friend, referring to his nine-year-old child with ex Sonni Pocheco.

‘He’s really just working on his recovery and doing rehabilitation to learn to walk again. Jeremy knows he’s so lucky to be alive.

“Every day he’s a little bit better than before and he’s definitely making progress, but progress is slow.”

DailyMail.com has reached out to Jeremy’s spokesperson for additional comment.

On New Year’s Day, Jeremy was run over by a seven-ton snowplow while helping his nephew get his care out of the driveway of his residence near Reno, Nevada, after the vehicle got stuck in the snow.

However, his snow plow started sliding down a street after the car was towed, prompting the actor to jump out of his cab.

After getting out of the vehicle, Renner realized it could potentially hit his cousin, who was with him at the time of the incident. The Mayor of Kingstown star then attempted to re-enter the snow plow to reroute his path, but was pulled under the left lane and run over during the attempt.

On an 911 call from a neighbor, Jeremy could be heard in the background in agony. The caller feared he would bleed to death from his injuries.

He was taken by helicopter to a hospital in Reno, where he was admitted in critical condition with 30 broken bones, a broken chest and a collapsed torso.

Although Jeremy is stepping back from Hollywood after the accident, fans will still be able to see him on screen when he releases a four-part documentary series, Rennervations, on Disney+ in April.

Runners’ nerves — who completed the star prior to the snowplow incident — details Jeremy’s’lifelong passion for giving back to communities around the world by reinventing unique, purpose-built vehicles to meet the needs of a community.”

In the trailer, the Marvel movie hero jokes that fans of his Avengers thought he “went off the rails” because this project is so different from his previous work.

“I buy these decommissioned government vehicles to reimagine them to serve this community in another way,” Jeremy says in the project trailer.

“I decided to reuse and refurbish these vehicles and I wanted to it for communities and help children all over the world.’

“There’s a lot of concern about the Avengers family chat, like, you know, what does Renner do? He’s going off the rails a bit,” he adds.

While he can’t currently promote Rennervations in the way he wants to, Jeremy seems to remain positive about his involvement going forward.

“We are so excited to share the #rennervations show with you soon on @disneyplus!!!” Jeremy wrote about the show in a recent promotional post.

“As soon as I’m back on my feet, we’ll be coming to YOU, all over the world… I hope you’re ready!!!”

In addition, Jeremy did his best to promote season two of his Paramount Plus series Mayor of Kingstown, which premiered on January 15.

Jeremy has continued to update social media followers on his recovery and progress, which began when he took a selfie from his hospital bed in the ICU in the days following the accident.

‘Thank you all for your kind words. I’m too confused to type now. But I’m sending you all love,” wrote the caption alongside a photo of Jeremy with bruises all over his face.

He later shared a clip of him being pampered by his supportive sister and mother while getting a relaxing scalp massage.

“A ‘not great’ ICU day turned into a great spa day with my sister and mom. Thank you so much,” he wrote in the caption of the sweet tweet.

Later that month, Jeremy shared footage with his fans of what appeared to be him being wheeled into a room for a CT scan and MRI.

In February, the star said he was “doing whatever it took” for his recovery, as he himself shared a video of him trying to improve his leg strength using a Technogym bike.

He added that he also prioritizes his “mental recovery” as he curled up by a fire and flipped open The Book of Awakening, a “spiritual diary” written by philosopher, poet and cancer patient Mark Nepo.
