While it's sometimes difficult to perceive them as such, celebrities are human like the rest of us. Join us as we take a look back at the stars who've survived near-death experiences...
Oscar-nominated actor Jeremy Renner's acting days could be over following his horrific snow plow accident. "Although he does still love acting, Hollywood is just not a priority to him anymore," a source told DailyMail.com. "Jeremy believes that he survived the accident so that he can use his platform to really create change in the world. He is very proud of the work that he has done, but this entire situation has really shown him that there is so much more that he could be doing to help others."
Jeremy was airlifted from his ranch near Lake Tahoe in Reno, Nevada, to a hospital on Jan. 1, 2023, following a terrible accident. The "Avengers" franchise and "Hawkeye" actor was in "critical but stable condition with injuries suffered after experiencing a weather related accident while plowing snow earlier today," his spokesperson told Deadline, adding that the "Mayor of Kingstown" star's family was with him at the hospital and that he was "receiving excellent care." On Jan. 2, his rep told People magazine, "We can confirm that Jeremy has suffered blunt chest trauma and orthopedic injuries and has undergone surgery today, January 2nd 2023. He has returned from surgery and remains in the intensive care unit in critical but stable condition." A source close to Jeremy told TMZ that the actor's injuries were "extensive."
On Jan. 3, Jeremy posted this selfie from his hospital bed, captioning it, "Thank you all for your kind words. I'm too messed up now to type. But I send love to you all." His rep added in a statement the same day, "Jeremy is making positive progress and is awake, talking and in good spirits. He remains in ICU in critical but stable condition. He is overwhelmed by the showing of love and support. The family asks for your continued thoughts while he heals with his close loved ones."
On March 16, 2023, the DailyMail.com source said, "Jeremy knows he is so lucky to be alive. Each day is a little better than before and he is definitely making progress, but the progress is slow."
