Jeremy Renner said he broke more than 30 bones during a snowplow accident on New Year’s Day.
The actor was left in critical condition in the hospital’s intensive care unit after being crushed by a snowplow earlier this month. The star of the Marvel cinematic universe received a “blunt chest injury” and “orthopedic injuries”. According to his representative, he underwent emergency surgery the next day.
This weekend (January 21), he shared an update with fans on Instagram, in which he spoke about the extent of his injuries.
He texted: “Morning workouts, decisions — everything has changed this new year…. Born of tragedy for my entire family and quickly focused on uniting effective love.
“I want to thank EVERYONE for their messages and taking care of my family and me…. Great love and appreciation to all of you. These 30-odd broken bones will grow together, become stronger, as well as love and connection with family and friends will deepen. Love and blessings to all of you.”
