Jeremy Renner was able to rely on his ‘Avengers’ co-star Paul Rudd for a few laughs as he recovered from his near-fatal snowplow accident.
On Monday’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” Renner said Rudd has visited him in the hospital a few times and “always makes my day” because “he’s one of the funniest guys around.”
Case in point: Renner shared a video that Rudd sent him. It was made to look like a message from the Cameo app, which allows people to buy personalized video messages from celebrities.
“He did a fake one, like I paid him money for a cameo,” Renner recalled.
“Hey Jerry,” Rudd begins the clip. “I hear you’re a little upset. Looks like you got into a fight with a snowblower? Anyway, just wanted to send this video out. It really comes from the heart and I hope you are feeling better. You look… you look like a pretty tough guy. Maybe one day I will meet you.”
Renner was seriously injured on January 1 while shoveling snow near his property in Reno, Nevada. It was hit by the tracks, which weigh over 14,000 pounds. He broke over 30 bones and punctured a lung.
