Jeremy Renner says he broke more than 30 bones in snow plow accident
Renner revealed the extent of his injuries in a new Instagram post this morning
Aux News Jeremy Renner
Three weeks after a snow plow accident put him in the hospital in critical condition, Jeremy Renner has given an fresh update on how his healing is getting on. And, honestly, it sounds good—at least, for a definition of “good” that includes breaking more than 30 bones, which is, on the scale of bones, a lot of them. (It’s roughly a seventh of all the bones you get!) Renner reported this news on Instagram in a new update this morning, revealing that his injuries involved “30 plus broken bones,” but added that they “will mend.”
Renner suffered his injuries on Jan. 1, with Variety reporting that he was run over by his snow plow while helping a family member with a car that was stuck in the snow. (Variety also notes that the plow in question weighs at least 7 tons, which definitely underscores how lucky Renner is to be alive and Instagram-ing right now; he underwent two separate surgeries in the immediate aftermath of the accident.)
The attached photo seems to show Renner receiving physical therapy; he’s reportedly been out of the hospital for a few days now, combining the announcement of his return home with a reminder to please watch Mayor Of Kingstown’s second season. (Meanwhile, the posters for Renner’s Paramount+ show were recently altered in the wake of the accident, removing bruises from his character’s face so as not to draw extra parallels to the accident.) Since beginning his recovery, Renner has been regularly using social media to communicate with fans (and also co-stars, with his various Avengers buddies popping up in the comments regularly to wish him well), and promises that his horribly battered bones will “grow stronger, just like the love and bond with family and friends deepens.”

It’ll work out for him in the end.
His secret sauce kept him alive.
Yikes! Whose?
How is that even possible?? According to cartoons, the human body only has like 12 bones!
And according to the educational video game “Mortal Konbat” they are mostly femurs and skulls
You’re not counting all the ribcages!
Due to the mystic arts of Shao Khan, every species in MK3 was a mass of legs and entrails that clanked like ceramic.
Fortunately, his xylophone bones were left perfectly intact and perfectly in tune.
That what they say. But when they played his skeleton like a xylophone, they strike the same rib in succession, yet he produces two clearly different tones. I mean, what are we to believe, that this is a magic xylophone, or something?
What, only flutes and harps get to be magic?
Matters were complicated in hospital, where Renner was treated by a very pretty nurse, causing his heart to protrude several inches out of his chest.
There’s only one bone that matters, right boys?
Most of them are in your hands and feet.
So it’ll be a while before we get “Tag 2”?
Not to mention that follow up to Bourne Legacy that the world has been on the edge of it’s collective seat, waiting for with bated breath.

The man is nearly half Iron at this point
A regular Jeremy Irons
so you are telling me they are filming Tag 2 right now?
Out of 206? Big whoop.
I mean not even 20%. Try harder next time Renner 🙂
Hawkeye confirmed as the toughest Avenger
lol Also the dumbest. What kind of idiot gets hit by a snowplow? Those things are pretty fucking loud. They don’t sneak up on you.
In his defense it was his own snow cat and he was trying to jump on it because it started to roll away.Now why it started to roll away in the first place could point to user error(not engaging the brakes and leaving it in gear) but from the reporting this was an older model that he had bought second hand so potentially this could have been a mechanical failure. It was extremely unwise to attempt to try to jump on it to stop it and I think Renner realizes that now.
I find him guilty of being an idiot but I’m glad he is still alive. No one should die for being an idiot.
Typically self-serving of you, Charlie
There are plenty of idiots that should die.
Don’t feed the Russian. Ain’t worth it.
Supposedly that particular model of snowplow has been known to slip out of gear and roll unexpectedly.
My cousin was run over by a piste basher which he didn’t see in a blizzard. So… that kind of idiot 🙂
For the record, although he was totally crushed (eye ball hanging out of what was left of its socket, the whole shebang)… full recovery!
he should be cast as Wolverine to get adamantium bones plus healing powers.
Renner as Wolverine. I could kinda see it.
Okay fine, I’ll install his app – dudes been through enough, maybe it’ll help fix him 😛
I’m gonna go with 30 individual breaks in his bones, not 30 separate bones broken.
The foot has 26, so I’m wondering if one of his feet got smashed.
As someone who broke their foot in only 3 places, I can tell you, it’s the worst part of the body, excluding the back and neck, to sustain any serious injury. I hope it wasn’t his foot.
“Only 3 places.” Oh my God my foot hurts just thinking about it!
Does the bone breaks count if the body part was amputated?(I know, I know, I’m sorry)
if you read an article about a person with four siblings, do you go with that they have one sibling who has 4 distinct personalities?
Considering that shit could have cost him a leg or two I’d say he’s had a pretty good result.
How many were his own? Were stunt bones involved?
Bill, are you just a bully?Or is there a reason you refuse to imbed images in your work when essentially you are WRITING AN ARTICLE ABOUT AN IMAGE?? Every single one of your goddamn posts(?) ✨ I truly do not know how to refer to your work ✨ require sleuthing on my part, just to see what the fu- HECK exactly you were talking about. So, why man? If it’s like some corporate Gizmodo mandate to not direct traffic to another site (in this case INSTAGRAM 🤯) I’d maybe have more sympathy. I’m still in shock that you linked to the Variety article but not even the original 😔 are you just mean? Your home-boy JUST posted an article about Renner doing everything you should have, use the tools you have my guy.
Wonder what would have happened had he just let it go.
Nice to be able to be nice on the internet and just say: I hope he gets better soonI do find the poster photoshopping a little weird, but whatever
He’s so lucky. A similar accident killed my father-in-law some years back.
looks like kate Bishop might be getting a promotion.
(cut to Hallie Eisenberg sabotaging the snowcat)
I didn’t know that owning a plow was a thing for private citizens. Celebrities – they’re not just like us.
