Jeremy Renner walked the red carpet for the first time on Tuesday night following his nearly catastrophic snow plough accident.
The “Avengers” actor attended the debut of his new Disney+ reality series “Rennervations,” which focuses on restoring abandoned cars for impoverished communities all over the world. The Westwood Regency Village Theatre in Los Angeles served as the venue for the event.
Around six o’clock, Renner arrived on the carpet with a cane and appeared with his family for pictures. The actor initially used a motorized scooter to help him through press interviews after a brief period of walking.
Even though he was recuperating from his wounds, Renner declared that he was committed to keeping the “Rennervations” debut on schedule.
“I was particularly insistent that they hold off on promoting this idea while there was momentum among the Disney brass, among us, and among the timing of it in all of our lives. In her words to Variety, “It just felt right.” “I may appear to be in rough shape right now, but I can assure you that this show is what motivates and inspires me to improve daily. To be on this carpet was a goal I set for myself. And I’m enjoying it right now. Otherwise, it would have lost momentum and excitement, gone off the rails, and I would have been extremely, extremely, extremely frustrated. We’re here now, which makes me quite happy.
On January 1st, Renner attempted to climb back into his 14,330-pound Sno-Cat to stop it from striking his nephew, but was instead ran over, suffering life-threatening injuries.
Executive producer of “Rennervations” Romilda de Luca revealed that she went to the hospital to visit Renner following the incident.
“When I saw him, it was the hardest thing,” De Luca admitted to Variety at the film’s premiere. “I knew then that he would survive,” the speaker said.
In support of Renner, Disney CEO Bob Iger also appeared at the premiere. They engaged in a brief conversation before posing for pictures on the blue carpet.
After the premiere, Jimmy Kimmel moderated a Q&A with Renner and other cast members. He rode his scooter up to his chair to a standing ovation from the spectators inside the theatre.
The actor talked about the Snow cat that hurt him, saying, “My mum wants to light it on fire and have a big old party.” He said that it’s essential to move around the property. “The item is incredible, I adore the thing… I just need to get better at driving it.
He broke down in tears at one point and expressed how much his friends and family have helped him get better, as well as how crucial the show has been to his health.
“A lot of individuals are needed. My family and my daughter come first, obviously. Then, this show played a significant role in my recovery, stated Renner. “It provided a significant turning point for me to improve and ensure that my efforts had not been in vain. Running myself over, you understand? Man, I had a lot of affection.
Renner spoke with Diane Sawyer for ABC News earlier this month in his first interview since the accident.
“I just so happened to be the dummy standing on the dang track a little bit, seeing if my nephew was there,” he claimed. When operating a vehicle, you shouldn’t be outside. It’s like operating a vehicle while one foot is outside of it. Yet, it remains as it was. And I’ve already paid the price for the mistake I made.
While waiting for paramedics to arrive after trekking through the snow for 21 minutes, Renner’s neighbors dialed 911 and attempted to keep the actor alive. Renner told Sawyer on her ABC News special that after the accident and his recovery, he would like to be able to walk for his first red carpet appearance.
Renner recently shared a snapshot of himself and his family visiting Valencia, California’s Six Flags Magic Mountain amusement park on Instagram. Renner is pictured using a cane and leaning against a post. Off to the side, a motorized scooter may be seen.
On Monday, Renner also made an appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” When he entered the stage using a cane, there was a standing ovation. Even before sitting down with Kimmel, he performed a brief dance.
