AceShowbiz - Jeremy Renner was keeping true to his words. Just days after declaring his intention to return to the hospital where he was treated following a near fatal accident, the actor playing Hawkeye in the Marvel Cinematic Universe visited Renown Regional Medical Center and expressed his gratitude to the medical staff who saved his life.
On Friday, April 14, the 52-year-old made use of Instagram Story to share photos from his visit to the hospital in Reno, Nevada. One photo in particular captured him posing with medical staff in front of a TV screen that displayed "Welcome back!" on it. Over the snap, he noted, "I got to revisit the amazing group of people who saved my life."
Another photo shared saw the "Rennervations" star standing next to two of the medical staff. Letting out a big smile for the camera, he continued expressing his gratitude by simply writing, "Thank you [folded hands emoji]," over the picture.
Just days before, Jeremy revealed his plan to return to the hospital. "I'm going back to this hospital this week to apologize to every one of those nurses. I'm going to apologize," he spilled in the Monday, April 10 episode of "Jimmy Kimmel Live!".
On the reason why, Jeremy explained to host Jimmy Kimmel as saying, "I kept trying to get out of the hospital as soon as I was in it. I'm like, 'I'm out of here.' I hate what I was wearing, gross. It was terrible. They weren't done with the ICU area when I got there, so they put me like, in a janitor's closet, like it was a VIP thing."
"It had no bathroom in it. The lights are flickering, everyone here is moaning, like they're dying in the ICU. I'm like, 'This is like a haunted house and it's called ICU,' like, 'I seeee youuuu,' which is creepy. I'm like, 'I want out of this place! I'm not going to get better here,' " he continued dishing.
Jeremy previously opened up about his "number one" inspiration in his road to recovery. "My daughter, for sure, number one. And then my family, and then my will. It's like, well, if I was going to go, I guess, it's one or the other," he revealed in the April 11 interview with E! News.
"There's no alternative to like, 'Alright, I'm going to be living so, let's go really live and get it done.' So there's no alternative. I have to kind of do something," he went on to share.
