Following television interviews with Diane Sawyer and Jimmy Kimmel, Jeremy Renner made his first public appearance since his accident Jan. 1, at the red carpet premiere Tuesday of his Disney+ series “Rennervations.” Watch a clip of that above, taken by TheWrap.

Renner was gravely injured on New Year’s day when his snow plow overturned and crushed him, breaking at least 31 bones and dealing severe injuries that hospitalized him for weeks.
“A big part of my recovery was the show,” he told the audience at the Regency Village Theater in Westwood. “It set a big milestone for me to get better, to make sure that our hard work was not for naught. I ran my damn self over, right? Like there’s no alternative. To me, it was easy because I had somewhere to go and somewhere to point and I had a lot of love, man.”
On Monday, Renner appeared on “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” where among other things, he noted that during his recovery, he realized how serious his injuries really were thanks to visits from some of his famous friends. “They’re terrible actors, they couldn’t hide the fact that I looked awful,” he joked.
