The year 2023 started off quite difficult for Marvel fans when it was revealed Hawkeye actor Jeremy Renner suffered a serious snowplow accident. Now it’s been revealed that things were even worse than previously believed, according to Renner’s Mayor of Kingstown co-star Michael Beach. He reveals that Jeremy Renner actually clinically “died” during the accident.
The accident was already known to have left Renner in critical condition. He suffered numerous broken bones including eight broken ribs, broken ankles, and blunt chest trauma among other issues. As shared by Beach while speaking with Russ Milheim via The Direct, however, it was much worse as his heart apparently stopped beating.
Here’s what Beach shared about Jeremy Renner and how he clinically died:
“Jeremy [Renner] is a war horse, man. I mean that guy, you know, he broke 38 bones. He actually died, which I didn’t know until he told me, and he’s been coming back. And he says he wasn’t sure how it would be. But he was ready. And he says every week, he feels stronger and stronger. And there’s been no interruption because of his physical abilities or not. He’s in it doing it. He’s great. Yeah, he’s a great guy, man. And he’s really as tough as nails.”
The snowplow accident occurred when Renner was trying to save his nephew. Beach explains that this very nephew also works on the set of Mayor of Kingstown.
“And you know, his nephew, who he saved, works on the show. So you get a couple of perspectives, and they are not shy about telling you what was going on, how they felt, and all that stuff. So it’s a unique perspective to the story of how Jeremy Renner got run over by a Snowplow.”
For those interested in the progress of Mayor of Kingstown Season 3, Beach explains that they have about a month of shooting left.
“We have about a month left [shooting]… It’s great. Because I mean, that’s the kind of thing that I love, the writing, the harshness of the world that we exist in on ‘Mayor of Kingstown.’ And so that, I just love it. And I’m always writing emails to the writers and stuff about, well, what about blah, blah, blah, you know, and I’m sure I’m a pain in the ass to them. But I really want to try to make sure I’m making sense and not redoing something I already did.”
When considering how serious that snowplow accident was, and how he even clinically died, it’s quite a miracle that he’s still with us and working. Stay tuned to ScreenGeek for any additional updates regarding actor Jeremy Renner and his career as we have them.
