Jimmy Kimmel introduced Jeremy Renner as the ‘toughest Avenger' on
his show
Jeremy Renner made his first late-night appearance on
Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Monday.
The Marvel star, 52, shared he 'got
lucky in a lot of ways' after surviving accident as he appeared in good
spirits. He was clicked walking onto the set with a cane and did a little
dance as he sat down for the interview.
Kimmel, 55, introduced his guest as “indestructible” and an
“Avenger who beat Thanos, Loki and a 14,000-pound snowplow.”
Renner opened up on suffering “extensive” injuries, breaking over 30
bones. “We kept discovering them, because they went from critical order of
priority of one of my going to die for them or not?” adding, “Another break,
another break.”
The Hawkeye actor explained that the snowplow
didn’t hit his vertebrae or any organs. “It's like a giant metal - like
cookie roller, right?” he said.
“And it just missed every
vertebrae, did not hit any organs, membrane did not swell - my eye did pop
out, that's weird. But I got pretty lucky that none of the organs got messed
up.”
Kimmel also shared an image of Renner from the hospital in
critical condition. Renner said that it was 'probably' his mother who took
the photo.
Renner's family was in attendance at the taping, as
the actor noted, “They've been at my side the entire time.”
