Chris Hemsworth and Robert Downey Jr. Celebrate the Recovery of Their AVENGERS Co-Star Jeremy Renner
It has been over a year since news broke that Marvel actor Jeremy Renner was in a near fatal snowplow accident, where he sustained injuries that included eight ribs broken in 14 places; right knee and right ankle broken; left leg - tibia broken; left ankle broken; right clavicle broken; right shoulder broken; face eye socket, jaw, and mandible injured; lung collapsed, pierced from the rib bone to the liver; and more.
He was in critical condition, and even after immediate surgery, his family and friends were unsure as to whether or not he was going to make it.
He has since made a miraculous full recovery, and his Avengers co-stars, Chris Hemsworth and Robert Downey Jr. are singing his praises. They said in a new interview with Vanity Fair that the crew is still in contact with each other via a group text chain, which is how they initially found out about Renner’s accident.
Hemsworth said:
“He sent us all a sort of a doped out, hospital, beat-up image and said, ‘All good, guys.’ And then I didn’t hear from him for a while as he was in the thick of it.”
Renner attended Chris Evans’ wedding in Cape Cod in September of last year, where they all praised him for his health advancement.
Downey said:
“If there’s one characteristic we’d all agree is paramount, it’s resilience. To see Renner embody that literally and in the context of what was basically a Portuguese-American wedding was mind-blowing. Fully recovered and ready to celebrate. So, yes-miracles happen.”
Hemsworth added, “There was an astounding sense of gratitude from him around just being alive.” You’d have to have a newfound sense of gratitude and a stark realization of just how precious and fragile life is after coming out of something like that. I’m glad Renner is healthy and good vibes abound.
