Jeremy Renner: "I got lucky in a lot of ways so I'm happy to be here"

On Jimmy Kimmel Live, when Jimmy Kimmel asked Renner how he felt about the almost-fatal snow plow accident, the actor said that he got lucky in a lot of ways. Jeremy Renner noted that he was happy to be alive.

As he called the snow plow a "giant metal-like cookie roller," he said that it missed his vertebrae, major organs, and brain, and didn't lead to any fatal swellings. Renner said that although his eye did pop out, it was weird but that he was lucky to have survived the accident without having any of his organs getting "messed up."

When the show's host pointed out that the actor's liver was pierced during the accident, The Avengers actor said that while it was true, that was it and that it wasn't dangerous. Kimmel also pointed out that one of Renner's lungs had collapsed after the accident. Renner responded to it and said:

"Yeah that's fine, I got another one".

The actor's family members, along with his mother, were also present in the audience of the show. Addressing them, Renner said that they had helped him go through the entire process of trauma and healing.

He said that the only thing he could think of when he was on the ground waiting for the ambulance was his nephewm Alex. Renner said that while he was thinking of the pain he was in, he also couldn't stop thinking about what Alex was going through as he had to "see his Uncle Jeremy on the ground."

He continued to say that he couldn't see any of what was happening to him as there was blood everywhere and because of what had happened to his eye. Renner noted that he had to consider Alex's perspective as he saw the whole ordeal. The actor said that he began thinking about the incident from everyone's perspective and that it was harrowing to take time to consider everyone's perspective.

While Renner was involved in a horrifying accident, he is currently on the path to recovery and recently shared a clip of himself walking after the accident.
