Jeremy Renner has said he has “no regrets” about his serious snowplough accident earlier this year, and would “do it again” to save his nephew. The Marvel star, 52, said he was “so grateful and forever in debt” to those who had helped him in the aftermath of the incident, which took place near his US home on January 1.
Renner was crushed by his own six-tonne snowploughing machine as he tried to help his nephew, Alexander Fries, free another vehicle. He was later air-lifted to hospital in Reno, Nevada, with significant injuries, that included over 30 broken bones.
In an exclusive interview with journalist Diane Sawyer, broadcast on US network ABC on Thursday, he recalled the incident and detailed his ongoing physical and mental recovery. He told Sawyer he had been a “dummy” for stepping out of the vehicle while it was moving, saying: “It was my mistake, and I paid for it.”
