Jimmy Kimmel made it clear who he believed was the toughest Avenger, and all it took was a horrible snow plow accident to prove it. Hosting Jeremy Renner, who is on the mend from his horrible snow plow accident, Jimmy Kimmel welcomed Hawkeye himself to the studio for a laidback chat about Renner’s awful experience.

In his first public appearance since his interview with Diane Sawyer last week, Renner was downright casual on Kimmel, talking about the “35 or so” bones he broke. But apparently, doctors simply just kept finding broken bones in Renner’s body, putting him “in Evel Knievel territory,” according to Kimmel. Even more casual, as he was recounting all the organs and vertebrae the “giant cookie roller” missed, he mentioned that his “eyes did pop out,” which, in his words, was “pretty weird.” Kimmel seemingly also thought it was weird, tossing damaged internals at Renner, who was downright chill about reminding Kimmel that he had another lung to back up the one that collapsed.

It wasn’t all fun. Surprisingly, Renner was more concerned about the perspective of his nephew Alex, whom Renner was protecting from the snow plow when he was crushed. Renner said that he apologized to his family for the situation. “Alex was there the entire time, and he had to see his Uncle Jeremy on the ground,” Renner said. “I didn’t see any of this, but the blood everywhere and the eye and all this stuff. I had to consider what his perspective was and that that kept happening with everyone’s perspective throughout this entire ordeal, and it’s pretty harrowing to take the time to really consider somebody else’s perspective.”

Like Kimmel and the audience, we’re all happy to see Renner taking Rennervations once again. Watch the full interview below (it includes a fake Cameo from Paul Rudd).

    The term “ICU” and Renner’s Marvel connection made me imagine the Incredibles Cinematic Universe, which I would like to see happen now please.

  • nogelego-av says:

    Thank goodness rich people have access to top notch health care.

  • theunnumberedone-av says:

    I’m a Jeremy Renner Snowplow Accident truther. Just doesn’t feel right.

    • elgreco020304-av says:

      I’m onboard.

    • shindean-av says:

      You do realize that every second they spent being lazy would’ve probably affected his nerves and muscles with long term damage?

      • theunnumberedone-av says:

        And yet none of that happened. Curious.P.S. Maybe he says that a lot in the interview and you’re making fun of him, but I simply refuse to watch it.

        • shindean-av says:

          So you don’t realize that health complications occur if you don’t go under rigorous treatment immediately.
          Next time, just say you’re dumb…it’s alright. 

          • theunnumberedone-av says:

            I’m sorry, what are you talking about? I’m implying the incident was fabricated for positive publicity. You fling terms like “dumb” around quite haphazardly.

          • bigal6ft6-av says:

            Thats dumb

    • tarst-av says:

      Let’s do this thing.

  • liffie420-av says:

    LOL I read that headline as kicked out of the MCU then wondered why there was no mention of that in the article haha.

  • cosmicghostrider-av says:

    Wait your eyeballs can pop out then be put back in….? Fuck right off.

  • cosmicghostrider-av says:

    I’m really scratching my head here. Is this an alien invasion where famous people are being replaced by aliens. How is this dude fine now?

    • theunnumberedone-av says:

      My guess is it’s the magic of hiring a really sketchy but effective publicist.

    • quetzalcoatl49-av says:

      $$$$$

    • skipskatte-av says:

      It’s right up there with when pro athletes have to have surgery after breaking three bones and tearing 20 ligaments, and the report is, “he’ll be out four to five weeks.” 

      • rockinray-av says:

        A Pittsburgh Pirate busted his ankle by sliding like a moron (caught in between what he wanted to do), full on fractured ankle.  Had surgery yesterday and is out 4 months.  I’d probably be out 4 years lol

    • rockinray-av says:

      I mean, he’s still not really “fine”. He still probably has more surgeries ahead of him to fix what wasn’t immediately repaired. And he has a lifetime of physical therapy ahead of him. He’s also incredibly lucky that something like his heart, spinal cord, or his intestines skewered.  After 3 months, most of the bones he broke are repaired enough that he can at least move around.

    • yesidrivea240-av says:

      How is this dude fine now?Money.Next question.

    • nimitdesai-av says:

      Wait seriously? it’s a whole boatload of insurance and straight up cash. normal people have zero quality of life and a mountain of debt after something like that.

    • nostalgic4thecta-av says:

      California has some of the best medical care in the entire world if you’re rich. 

    • saltier-av says:

      I dob’t think he’s fine, but it’s still amazing he’s getting around so well so soon.

    • kevinkap-av says:

      I’ve gotten my feet run over a few times in my life by cars. It hurts, but I never had any bad damage. It is all about the distribution of weight and your small size in comparison to the thing. Combine the snow protecting him on his underside, and then the distribution of weight on top.Yea he probably was really messed up, but while 14 tons or whatever was on top of him, 14 tons wasn’t actually on him. 

      • bigopensky-av says:

        Actually, he said on Kimmel that he was on asphalt when he was crushed, so no snow cushion. (One of his eyes literally popped out of the broken socket.)
        But more to the point: why do your extremities keep getting run over by cars?
        Whaddya have – clown feet?

  • shivakamini-somakandarkram-av says:

    The Marvel Secret Invasion marketing is really in depth.

    Paul Rudd is just god damn hilarious.

  • TeoFabulous-av says:

    Paul Rudd is a goddamned national treasure.

  • quatapus-av says:

    consider somebody else’s perspectiveHaving your eyes outside of your skull would make this literally possible.

  • pabloduganheim-av says:

    I hope that maybe he’s turned some sort of corner, because look up the brutal shit that happened with his ex-wife & why she’s not around for all of this. He denies it, but death threats with a fire arm & assault are pretty damn shitty things that people don’t tend to make up.

  • saltier-av says:

    It’s a testament to his personal drive that he’s so active only three and a half months after being crushed nearly to death by a huge machine. While it’s amazing that he’s up and about so soon after such a horrifying accident, it’s pretty obvious he still has a pretty long road to recovery left ahead of him.He jokingly mentioned that he’s still in a lot of pain—I think he’s actually pushing through it. This is the same guy who broke both arms while shooting Tag and kept working. I don’t think it’s in his nature to sit around and wait to heal up.The good thing is that his drive will serve him well as he goes through the physical therapy he’s surely doing. I can tell you all it’s no picnic having been through a some PT myself after far less devastating injuries. It’s easy to get discouraged. His attitude increases his chances for a full recovery.

  • suckabee-av says:

    What was the point of having Paul Rudd if he wasn’t there to introduce footage of the accident but actually play the Mac & Me clip.

  • kevinkap-av says:

    Gets run over by a snowplow, and then is forced to go on Kimmel. Things went from pretty bad to horrible for Renner. 

  • paulm123-av says:

    Hopefully he admits to being the dumbest person on earth and probably should not even drive a scooter.  The epitome of an overpaid moron
