Jeremy Renner Returns to Film “Mayor of Kingstown” After Near-Fatal Accident
Actor Jeremy Renner is making a major comeback after a life-threatening accident nearly took his life. The star has announced that he is returning to the set of “Mayor of Kingstown” to film the third season of the popular show.
The accident occurred on January 1, 2023, when Renner saved his nephew from being hit by a snowplow, only to be run over by his own Sno-Cat, weighing over 14,000 pounds. The incident left him with blunt chest trauma and orthopedic injuries, requiring extensive hospitalization and recovery.
In a recent interview with Andy Cohen and Anderson Cooper, Renner revealed that he is ready to return to work after months of physical therapy and recovery. He also mentioned his upcoming album and the support of his family as key motivators in his journey back to health. Renner expressed his gratitude for having “so many things to live for” and acknowledged the impact his passing would have had on those he loves.
Despite his physical challenges, Renner is determined to get back to work. He emphasized his readiness and strength, stating, “It’s been a wonderfully busy year. I think I’m ready and I think I’m strong enough. I literally go back in a week.”
Throughout his recovery, Renner has been transparent with fans about his progress. He made a point to attend the world premiere of his Disney+ series “Rennervations” last April, walking the red carpet with the use of a cane. In an interview with ABC News, Renner discussed the incident in detail and expressed his willingness to delegate more physical duties to stunt doubles on set.
Looking ahead, Renner is eager to overcome the trauma of the accident and focus on his return to filming. He stated, “I refuse to have that be a trauma and be a negative experience. That is a man that I’m proud of because I wouldn’t let that happen to my nephew. I shift the narrative of being victimized, or making a mistake, or anything else. I refuse to be haunted by that memory that way.”
Renner’s positive attitude and commitment to recovery have impressed fans and industry peers alike. As he prepares to return to the set of “Mayor of Kingstown,” his dedication and resilience serve as an inspiration to many.
