After what was a life-altering accident, Jeremy Renner, one of the original stars of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, is quite literally back on his feet and continuing forward with his journey in the entertainment industry. The actor has been a part of many prominent movies and has also been recognized for his contributions to television, most notably as the lead of Mayor of Kingstown and in the Disney+ series Hawkeye, where he reprised his role of the titular character.
The Modesto, California, native bravely faced a life-changing accident where he was almost run over by a snow plough while trying to save his nephew, but recovered quickly. One of the reasons he could make such a recovery and swift comeback was because of his determination and strong character.
Jeremy Renner has always been someone with great strength of character, something often seen from his previous interviews and public appearances. One such instance is during an April 28, 2016, interview with The Guardian, where the veteran actor opened up about how staying silent concerning any kind of frustration was not in his nature.

"I command excellence from everybody around me. If you’re passive, nothing improves."
He also talked about his frustration with the first Avengers movie, where his character, Clint Barton, aka Hawkeye, spent a chunk of time under Loki's mind control.
"That was my first chance getting to play the character and I wasn’t really getting to play him at all. ‘Hi, my name’s Clint – bzzzzzzzzz....It was frustrating. I don’t even know at that point how the guy walks and talks, ’cos he got turned into this other dude. Joss [Whedon] was really apologetic. He had an impossible task trying to fit all those characters into one movie. I’m glad I got to find the character next time around."
He further elaborated on this in the same interview.
"If you don’t talk about something, nothing changes, nothing gets done." — Jeremy Renner on the negatives of staying silent
Jeremy Renner is the kind of person and actor who gets things done. And in this particular 2016 interview, he made his feelings clear about what happens when one does not speak up—it frankly leads to nothing getting done.
Renner has been vocal about a lot of things, including his habit of never staying silent about things that bother him.
"It’s the squeaky wheel thing. If you don’t talk about something, nothing changes, nothing gets done. ‘Oh hi, everything’s cool, I’m really happy with just being an extra here!’ Well, actually I’m not. Use me if you’re gonna use me. If not, recast me. It’s nothing specifically to do with Marvel or Mission: Impossible in particular, it’s how I feel in general," the actor added when expanding on the "why" part of it.
Jeremy Renner used a comparison to explain his thought process.
"If you have a nice car and you don’t get it out of first gear, then what’s the point? You may as well just go get a Prius," he commented.
Jeremy Renner's drive and attitude towards life have ensured that he crosses every hurdle on his path, becoming a renowned and successful actor and overcoming a huge, life-changing obstacle.
He is also soon set to appear in the third Knives Out sequel, Wake Up Dead Man, which is currently in post-production.
