Los Angeles, April 25 (NationPress) Hollywood star Jeremy Renner has come to terms with the discomfort he endures following his life-threatening accident, as it is ''fantastic'' to have made such a significant recovery.
The actor sustained injuries to 38 bones after being trapped under his snowplough in January 2023.
''My swollen ankles, my back that frequently gives out, or my jaw that struggles to function correctly are all reminders of the mindset that helped me get to this point. It's fantastic. This is why I refuse to have a bad day. I understand what a true bad day feels like,'' he shared with people.com, according to femalefirst.co.uk.
Renner underwent titanium reconstruction of his chest and leg, and airport personnel are aware to deactivate metal detectors around him to prevent triggering alarms during security checks, as reported by femalefirst.co.uk.
He mentioned: ''They know to switch off the buttons on the machines, so it doesn't go off like the Fourth of July. I'm not a frequent flyer, but I generally encounter few issues. They're pretty understanding about the joke if the alarms do sound, which is nice of them.''
These days, Renner often feels less than ''secure'' while running and recently experienced his ''new reality'' on the set of 'Mayor of Kingstown'.
''Just last night, it was dark, and I had to sprint up this driveway in dress shoes. I thought, 'I better switch to tennis shoes because I'm not feeling that safe.' When you're running, it's hard to see the ground, which makes it a risky endeavor, especially when you're not completely confident in your running abilities.
''I'm a bit inflamed [today], but it’s like, 'Whatever, it’s all fine. Easy enough.' I was still faster than the guys who didn’t get run over!''
The 'Hurt Locker' star previously recounted how he felt his skull crack as he was struck by the snowplough.
He told Men’s Health magazine: ''The Snowcat undulates since there are four sections of tires with metal tracks – it pulls like a tank. I remember every single undulation.
''I recollect my head cracking against it and the pressure it exerted on me – it felt exactly as you would imagine.
''An immovable object collided with a crushing force, and something had to give.
''But thank goodness my skull didn’t completely give way. And then it kept moving. Undulate, undulate, undulate, undulate.
''Cheekbone shattered, eye socket fractured, and due to being run over by the machine, my eye bulged out. I could see my left eyeball with my right eyeball. I was gasping for air.''
