Marvel actor Jeremy Renner recently sat down with Diane Sawyer and spoke for the first time since his life-threatening snow plowing accident.
Renner was hospitalized in early January for blunt chest trauma and orthopedic injuries following a terrifying Sno-Cat accident while trying to rescue his nephew. The Snow-Cat, which weighs at least 14,330 pounds, hit him and crushed him, leaving him fighting for his life.
Three months after the snow plowing accident, Jeremy Renner sat down with Diane Sawyer for his first television interview titled “Jeremy Renner: The Diane Sawyer Interview – A Story of Terror, Survival, and Triumph.”

Speaking to Diane Sawyer, Jeremy Renner revealed that fellow Marvel Cinematic Universe actor Anthony Mackie “was at my bedside” as he recovered from his life-threatening injuries.
“[Anthony] Mackie was at my bedside in Reno,” Renner told Sawyer, adding that several other Marvel actors, Chris Evans, Chris Pratt, and Evangeline Lilly, also sent him kind words and messages while he was hospitalized.
Lilly spoke about Renner’s accident in February, telling Access Renner “has recovered like a mo-fo.”
“I walked into his house and got the chicken skin, because I was like, ‘Why are you so mobile? Why are you mobile? What is happening?’ I expected to sit by her bed and hold her hand while she moaned, groaned in pain, and couldn’t move,” said the Marvel actress. “He was spinning around, laughing with his friends. It’s a miracle, a straight miracle.”

As the ABC special, “Jeremy Renner: The Diane Sawyer Interview – A Story of Terror, Survival, and Triumph,” aired, viewers watched as Jeremy Renner sat in a wheelchair and prepared to speak in his first televised interview since the accident. We hear Sawyer ask Renner how much pain he remembers, to which the “Hawkeye” actor replies, “Everything.”
“I’m awake every second,” she added, holding back tears.
According to Sawyer in the interview, Renner had “eight broken ribs in 14 places. Right knee, right ankle broken, left tibia broken, left ankle broken, right clavicle broken, right shoulder broken. Face, eye socket, jaw , and a broken lower jaw. A collapsed lung. Pierced through the ribs, your heart — that sounds terrifying.”
After learning about his injuries from the accident, Renner remembers thinking, “What does my body look like? Am I just going to be the backbone and the brain, like a science experiment?”
The Marvel actor was in critical condition at the hospital, leaving him to write a goodbye note to his family, thinking he might not make it. “I heard that you’ve, in sign language, you’ve said to your family, ‘I’m sorry.’” Sawyer says in the promo, to which Renner says, “I chose to survive. That will not kill me at all,” said. “I have lost a lot of flesh and bones in this experience, but I have been replenished and replenished with love and titanium.”
Sawyer then asked the actor, “When you look in the mirror, do you see a new face?” Renner replied, “No, I see a lucky guy.”
The ABC News special, titled “Jeremy Renner: The Diane Sawyer Interview – A Story of Terror, Survival, and Triumph,” is available to stream on Hulu.
