Jeremy Renner sat down for his first interview since the New Year’s Day accident that may have killed him.
The trailer for ‘Jeremy Renner: Diane Sawyer Interview — A Tale of Fear, Survival, and Victory’ was released Wednesday. In it, Renner recounts being crushed by a snowplow he was driving near his home in Nevada on New Year’s Day.
Sawyer asked if he remembered the pain of being run over by a seven-ton snowmobile, to which Renner replied.
The interview also includes a poignant moment with Renner’s nephew who was trying to save himself from being hit by a machine when an accident occurred.
Renner told Sawyer that he was not going to change what had happened.
“Yeah, I hit my nephew, so I’ll do it again,” he said.
Sawyer read out Renner’s string of injuries, including eight rib fractures in 14 places, a broken eye socket, a collapsed lung and a liver impaled through a rib.
Recently, the actor said he looked in the mirror and saw a “lucky guy.”
“I lost a lot of flesh and bone in this experience, but I was fueled and replenished with love and titanium,” Renner said.
“Jeremy Renner: An Interview With Diane Sawyer — A Tale Of Fear, Survival And Triumph” will air Thursday, April 6 at 10 p.m. ET on ABC and stream the following day on Hulu.
