Jeremy Renner Acknowledges 'Legion Of Good Humans' In Recovery Process

Jeremy Renner is the epitome of resilience in the face of his near-fatal accident. However, he only achieved his incredible recovery with a great deal of help.

The Marvel star recently marked the first anniversary of his release from the ICU by paying tribute to everyone who supported his rehabilitation after his horrible snow plow accident. He celebrated the huge milestone with gratitude and a sweet promise to fans.

Last year started on a near-fatal note for the "Hawkeye" star after he was hit and crushed by a snow plow on New Year's Day. Reflecting on the incident, Renner showed off the results of his impressive recovery with a picture of himself at a fitness facility.

He matched the workout venue in a gray t-shirt, shorts, and a baseball cap while carrying a water bottle and a tote bag. He stood proudly without any assistance and flashed a smile for the camera.

Renner's happiness also radiated in his caption, where he thanked everyone who supported his journey and promised to be better than ever. His heartfelt declaration read:

"I was reminded that love, good will, hard work, and a legion of good humans are getting me through every day … thank you, bless you …. And as always, I hold my promise to be better, be stronger, and grow to surpass potential…. Bless you all."

Renner shared the same image on his Instagram Story, describing himself as fortunate after being reminded of his incredible recovery milestone. "My friend reminded me I got home from ICU a year ago," he wrote above the picture before adding the undernote, "Lucky Man…"

The TV personality's heartwarming announcement naturally garnered supportive comments from fans, who hailed him as an inspirational figure. "You have inspired me to be my best, even at my worst. I love you," someone commented.

Indian actor Anil Kapoor echoed similar sentiments, writing: "Looking great; you have inspired the world, Jeremy." A third fan acknowledged Renner's tribute to his support group, adding:

"You look amazing. Seeing all that you have gone thru this past year, you have been truly blessed to have a loving family, good friends, and loyal fans to cheer you on."

Renner's post comes at the heels of his spectacular return to work. He announced his comeback to the set of the Paramount+ drama series, "Mayor of Kingstown," with a stunning picture of himself in a dapper suit.

He rocked a striped button-down shirt and a gray-and-black tie underneath a coat while smirking for the camera, with his brown locks pushed to one side. In the caption, the 53-year-old revealed his formal attire was for work, writing:

"Day one on set … nervous today. Hope this works out that I can ACTUALLY pull this off for our production and, more importantly, the fans."

Renner's words sparked a flood of responses from his admirers, who could barely contain their excitement. "YOU GOT THIS!! MORE THAN ANYONE EVER! Love you, bro!" an ecstatic fan penned, with another writing: "After the past year, I think you've proved you are capable of the almost impossible!"

A month before the first anniversary of his release from the ICU, Renner got fans talking about his resemblance to a famous Marvel character. The actor got assistance for his first flight after his snow plow accident, walking smartly with compression devices strapped to his calves.

He was spotted attempting to board a flight at JFK Airport on December 6 in incognito mode with an all-black ensemble and a baseball cap. Despite his efforts to blend in with the other travelers, the "Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters" actor's famous features stood out alongside the robot-like devices on his legs.

The compression devices sparked a resemblance to Don Cheadle's James Rhodes character in the Marvel Franchise. The life-imitating-art moment was similar to when the fictional figure, aka the War Machine, regained the ability to walk after Tony Stark created leg braces based on the exoskeleton mechanics of his Iron Man suit.

While Renner's walking aid did not have the same fancy design, his compression devices served a similar purpose. These gadgets supported movements by improving blood flow, reducing pain, and combating swelling.
