Marvel star Jeremy Renner has made his first public statement since being seriously injured in a snowplow accident on New Year’s Day, sharing a photo of himself in a hospital bed.
“Thank you for your kind words. 🙏,” Renner wrote on Instagram Tuesday, along with a photo showing his facial injuries. “I’m too confused right now to write. But I’m sending you all my love.
The actor underwent surgery on Monday for blunt force trauma to his chest and orthopedic injuries sustained while plowing snow on his property in Reno, Nevada, near Lake Tahoe. He was airlifted to a local hospital.
“He is back from surgery and remains in the intensive care unit in critical but stable condition,” a rep for Renner said in a statement to People on Monday.
Renner’s Instagram account has been flooded with support from other celebrities, including fellow Marvel stars Chris Pratt and Taika Waititi.
Renner plays Clint Barton, aka Hawkeye, in several Marvel projects, including the “Avengers” franchise. He received Academy Award nominations for his performances in “The Hurt Locker” and “The Town” and currently appears in the Paramount+ series “Mayor of Kingstown.”
