AceShowbiz - Jeremy Renner may let go his treacherous Marvel stunts after escaping death in near-fatal snowplow accident. The "Avengers: Endgame" actor revealed in an interview with Diane Sawyer that he's "OK" with letting a stuntman take the reins.
"I'm OK with a stunt guy doing it at this point," the "Hawkeye" star admitted. "I'm 52. It's fine. I've done enough. I'm OK to do more, right? But, I'm Ok. I have no ego. Yeah, go for it. I don't care. I'll be in my trailer."
Elsewhere in the tell-all interview, Jeremy talked about how his family has been a force in his recovery. Recalling what his 10-year-old daughter Ava told him after the scary accident, the father of one revealed with emotion in his voice, "She didn't have to say anything. She said she's scared. She said she loved me."
Adding that he muttered "I'm sorry" to his family after the incident. "This is what I talk to my family about from all their perspectives, which are horrifying, that I put upon them. What we just endured," Jeremy continued.
"That's real love. It's suffering. But that feeds the seeds of what love is," he added. "I've lost a lot of flesh and bone in this experience, but I've been refueled and refilled with love and titanium."
"The Avengers" star shared that he wrote his "last words" to his family in hospital while languishing in a critical condition following his horrific snowplow accident. "I'm writing down notes in my phone - my last words to my family," said the star as he's in fear that he would have died after he had his chest and legs pulverized by his 14,000-lb Pistenbully Snowcat as he tried to stop it hurtling into his nephew on New Year's Day.
The actor added, "If I was there, on my own, that would've been a horrible way to die. And surely, I would've. Surely. But I wasn't alone - my nephew (was there.) Sweet Alex. And the rest of the cavalry came."
Despite almost dying in the accident, Jeremy says he would take the same actions again to save his nephew's life. He went on to note, "I chose to survive - it's not going to kill me, no way. I've lost a lot of flesh and bone in this experience, but I've been refuelled and refilled with love and titanium."
