Jeremy Renner Reveals Lesson Learned From Near Death Experience

'You Only Live Once' seems to be the current theme of Jeremy Renner's life since his near-fatal accident at the beginning of the year.

As the curtain rises on what has been quite the rollercoaster ride for the Marvel actor, he unveils the hard-earned lesson that is now becoming the guiding star in his life's narrative. 

Since the snowplow incident that brought him to the edge, the father-of-one has demonstrated an awe-inspiring determination to reclaim every moment, not taking his newfound lease on life for granted.

In a candid Instagram post that featured the Hollywood A-lister donning what looked like an L.E.D mask, he expressed his deep commitment to the path of recovery. Leaving no stone unturned in his quest for healing, the "Avengers" star unveiled the extensive array of therapies and treatments he has embraced, stating:

"I have been exploring EVERY type of therapy since Jan 14th … everyday , countless hours of physical therapy, peptide injections, iv drips and pushes, stem cell and exosomes, red light / IR therapy, hyperbaric chamber 2.0 atmospheres, cold plunge, and the list goes on and on…."

According to the 52-year-old, the most potent form of therapy had been the resilience of his mind and unshakable will to keep pushing through the challenges of recovery. He also emphasized that he did not take his second chance at life for granted. In his words:

"My greatest therapy has been my mind and the will to be here and push to recover and be better…. Be exceptional… I feel it's my duty to do so. Not to squander my life being spared, but to give back to my family, friends, and all of you whom have empowered me to endure. I thank you all. #loveandtitanium." 

As expected, the post ignited a flood of support and admiration from fans, who called him a "beautiful being" and "an inspiration." Another follower offered words of encouragement, stating:

"Your attitude is inspiring. Your fans will always be here for you. Repair, rest, adapt, believe, repeat."

At the same time, a supporter emphasized the importance of mindset before complimenting Renner's. They also made sure to mention that they were praying for him. Others praised his strength and resilience, like this admirer who gushed, "Yes!! Amazing. You're the strongest guy I know. ???." 

In the aftermath of his January accident, the "Neo Ned" actor has been transparent about his healing process, even to the point of sharing that he had gained "superpowers."

Fans will recall that on that unfortunate day, Renner came away with multiple fractures, including ribs, ankles, knees, shoulders, and severe chest trauma. In a CNN interview, the "Dahmer" star reflected on the profound changes in his life since that day.

After expressing gratitude for the opportunity to walk, move, and savor life, the "S.W.A.T." actor shared, "I'm very, very clear. My life is really lean, if that makes sense. There's no fat in my life anymore. I don't have time for that. So, there's something really beautiful about having that superpower." 

The resilient star of "Mayor of Kingstown" has not only defied the odds in his personal life but is also set to return to our screens for a third season of the gripping streaming series. The news came after Paramount+ officially confirmed the renewal, following some months of anticipation, reportedly attributed to Jeremy Renner's ongoing recovery. 

Apart from the wait for the third season being slightly extended due to his rehabilitation, it is also because of the ongoing labor strikes involving the Writers Guild of America (WGA) and the Actors Guild (SAG-AFTRA) against the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP). 

This means that production on Season 3 will have to wait until these issues are resolved. Renner's return to the series is undoubtedly eagerly awaited by fans, as they anticipate more of the intense storytelling and stellar performances that have made "Mayor of Kingstown" a must-watch.

In fact, the gripping show created by the Oscar-nominated writer Taylor Sheridan and featuring Hugh Dillon has been a standout performer for Paramount+, ranking as the third best-performing drama on the platform.
