Avengers star was left in a critical condition after his snowplough crushed him, but says ‘I’d do it again’ to save his nephew
Jeremy Renner is set to give his first interview since he was critically injured in a snowplough accident in January, telling journalist Diane Sawyer he was “awake through every moment” when the seven-tonne machine crushed him.
Jeremy Renner: The Diane Sawyer Interview – A Story of Terror, Survival and Triumph, will air in the US on ABC News on 6 April, ahead of the premiere of Renner’s new Disney+ series Rennervations.
The Avengers actor was hospitalised in a critical condition with blunt chest trauma and orthopaedic injuries in early January when his Sno-Cat machine ran him over.
A teaser trailer for the interview has been released, including the audio of the 911 call made to save Renner’s life. The 52-year-old actor is heard moaning in pain as people tell him to “keep fighting”.
