Jeremy Renner’s Hollywood career has come into serious question today, as a source close to the star revealed that acting is no longer a “priority” for him after his horrific accident with a snowplow.
An insider who recently spent time with Jeremy, 52, tells DailyMail.com exclusively that “although he still loves acting, Hollywood is no longer a priority for him.”

“Jeremy believes he survived the crash so he can use his platform to really create change in the world,” the source shared.
“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 be doing to help others,” the source says.

DailyMail.com has contacted Jeremy’s spokesperson for additional comment.
On New Year’s Day, Jeremy was struck by a seven-ton snowplow while helping his nephew remove his care from the driveway at his residence near Reno, Nevada after the vehicle got stuck in the snow.
However, his snowplow began to slide down a street after the car was towed, causing the actor to jump out of the cab.
After getting out of the vehicle, Renner realized that he could potentially hit his nephew, who was with him at the time of the incident. The Kingstown Mayor Star then attempted to re-enter the snowplow to divert its path, but was swept under the left-hand side track and struck during the attempt.

The Hawkeye actor has been giving updates on his condition online, posting a photo from his rehabilitation on January 21, three weeks after the accident.
Marvel recently took to his Instagram to share that much of the snow that was blocking the front entrance to his house had melted.
On a 911 call made by a neighbor, Jeremy could be heard in agony in the background. The person he called feared that he would bleed to death from his injuries.
He was airlifted to a hospital in Reno, where he was listed in critical condition with 30 broken bones, a crushed chest and a collapsed torso.
Although Jeremy is taking a step back in Hollywood in the wake of the accident, fans will still be able to see him on screen when he premieres a four-part documentary series, Rennervations, on Disney+ in April.
Renervations – which the star completed before the snowplow incident – details Jeremy’s’lifelong passion to give back to communities around the world by reinventing unique vehicles purpose-built to meet the needs of a community’.
In the trailer, the hero of the Marvel movie jokes that Avengers fans thought he was “off the rails” because this project is so different from his previous work.
“I’m buying these decommissioned government vehicles to help reinvent them to serve this community again in a different way,” Jeremy says in the trailer about the project.
“I decided to reimagine, reuse and renew these vehicles and wanted to for communities and helping children all over the world.’
“There’s a lot of concern in the Avengers family chat like, you know, what’s Renner doing? He’s getting a little off the rails.”
Although he can’t promote Rennervations the way he wants right now, it seems like Jeremy is keeping a positive outlook on his involvement in the future.
