Jeremy Renner Details Experiencing Death During Snow Plow Accident "I Didn't Want to Come Back" — GeekTyrant
Marvel actor Jeremy Renner went through a death-defying accident and recovery two years ago that he is just now fully detailing in his recently-published memoir, 'My Next Breath.' In the book, he says he briefly experienced what he believes was death during the 2023 New Year's Day snow plow accident that nearly cost him his life. In a recent follow-up interview on Kelly Ripa's 'Let's Talk Off Camera' podcast, the Oscar nominee described this moment as 'a great relief.' 'It's a wonderful, wonderful relief to be removed from your body,' Renner said. 'It is the most exhilarating peace you could ever feel. You don't see anything but what's in your mind's eye. Like, you're the atoms of who you are, the DNA, your spirit. It's the highest adrenaline rush, but the peace that comes with it… it's magnificent. It's so magical.' 'I didn't want to come back,' Renner continued. 'I remember I was brought back and I was so pissed off. I came back, I'm like, 'Aww!' I came back and saw [my] eyeball and I'm like, 'Oh shit, I'm back.' Saw my legs. I'm like, 'Yeah, that's gonna hurt later.' I'm like, 'All right, let me continue to breathe.'' Renner wrote in his book that he briefly died about 30 minutes after his Sno-Cat, a large snow plow that weighs at least 14,330 pounds, ran him over as he was saving his nephew from injury. Renner ultimately regained consciousness and was hospitalized for blunt chest trauma and orthopedic injuries. His injuries included eight ribs broken in 14 places, a broken right knee and ankle, a broken left leg tibia and ankle, a broken right clavicle and shoulder and more. 'I could see my lifetime,' he writes in the book. 'I could see everything all at once. In death, there was no time, no time at all, yet it was also all time and forever.' Speaking to Ripa, Renner added that feeling like 'a man that didn't want to come back' has made him now 'really be able to be back here and live it on my terms as the captain of my own ship. And get on it or off it, I don't give a fuck. I'm going to live life on my own terms and for nobody else. [It's] very clear. The white noise is ripped away.' After spending nearly a year in recovery, Renner has since gone on to return to acting via his Paramount+ original drama series Mayor of Kingstown . He also filmed a role in Rian Johnson's next 'Knives Out' movie, aptly called Wake Up Dead Man , which is coming to theaters and Netflix this fall. via: Variety

Jeremy Renner Says He Turned Down ‘Hawkeye' Season 2 Because They Offered ‘Half' the Money
While a second season of Marvel's Hawkeye has yet to be confirmed, Jeremy Renner opened up about why you won't see him in any follow-ups. During an interview for the High Performance app, the actor said that he won't be coming back to the Disney+ series because he was offered 'half' of his pay from the first season. 'They asked me to do Season Two, and they offered me half the money,' said Renner. 'I'm like, 'Well, it's going to take me twice the amount of work for half the amount of money, and eight months of my time, essentially, to do it for half the amount.'

The 54-year-old actor alluded that the reason behind the lower offer was due to his near-fatal 2023 snowplow accident that crushed more than 30 bones in his body. He continued, 'I'm like, 'I'm sorry? Why? Did you think I'm only half the Jeremy because I got ran over? Maybe that's why you want to pay me half of what I made on the first season.'' 'This is not Marvel, mind you. This is like, just Disney, not even really Disney. It's just the penny pinchers, the accountants,' said the actor, adding, 'I told them to go fly a kite. I mean, just at the insult offer.' The first season of Hawkeye debuted on Disney+ in 2021 and starred Renner alongside Hailee Steinfeld and Florence Pugh. Renner said that while it's 'disheartening that that didn't happen,' he's 'happy to let that go.' He added, 'My body's probably thanking me, time and time again, that I'm not doing it right now.

Jeremy Renner says he was ‘pissed off' after being revived from near-fatal Tahoe snowplow accident
Jeremy Renner, the Oscar-nominated actor best known for his role as Hawkeye in Marvel's 'Avengers' franchise, has revealed that he was initially angry after being revived following his near-fatal snowplow accident. In an interview on Kelly Ripa's podcast ' Let's Talk Off Camera,' Renner described his brief but powerful brush with death after he was crushed by a 14,000-pound snowcat outside his Lake Tahoe home while trying to save his nephew, Alex Fries, on New Year's Day 2023. The Modesto actor suffered 38 broken bones, a collapsed lung and a pierced liver, spending over two weeks in the hospital and undergoing multiple surgeries. 'I didn't want to come back,' Renner told Ripa on the episode released Tuesday, May 20. 'I remember, and I was brought back and I was so pissed off.' Renner explained that during the few minutes he was clinically dead, he experienced what he called the most exhilarating peace.' 'It's a great relief, is all I can say,' Renner said. 'It's a wonderful, wonderful relief to be removed from your body. It is the most exhilarating peace you could ever feel. It's the highest adrenaline rush, but the peace that comes with it — it's magnificent. It's so magical.' The experience, he said, profoundly altered his understanding of life, death and what truly matters. 'Time is a human construct,' Renner said. 'Language, all these things — it's all knowing, all experiencing, all at the same time, all at once.' The accident, which Renner attributes to a momentary lapse when he forgot to engage the parking brake, became a turning point in his life. 'It makes me — a man that didn't want to come back — really be able to be back here and live it on my terms as the captain of my own ship,' he said. 'And get on it or off it, I don't give a f—.' 'I can't stomach the things I gave credence to prior to the accident,' said Renner. 'I invest into love and my shared relationships that I experience love with. Cause that is the only thing that you take with you.'
