Jeremy Renner almost gave up acting after his snowplough accident

Jeremy Renner almost gave up acting after his snowplough accident.

The Mayor of Kingston star suffered over 30 broken bones, a lacerated liver and a collapsed lung in January 2023 when he was run over by his Snocat and because he believes he will continue to be recovering for the rest of his life, there were times when he felt he should just focus on himself rather than his work.

But ultimately, Jeremy is glad he continued his career.

He told Fox News Digital: "I mean, I'll be in recovery for the rest of my life. I think it goes beyond acting. I almost didn't want to go back into acting because I had to focus so much on real life. Nonfiction kind of stuff. To go into fiction was a little difficult, but I'm glad I'm back doing it."

The 55-year-old actor - who has daughter Ava, 13, with ex-wife Sonni Pacheco - has tried to simplify his life since the accident.

He explained: "Be with my family, get better every day and do acts of service and give to others as much and best as I can. And that's how I choose to live my life from moving forward since the accident."
