“Prayers up for our brother @jeremyrenner on a full and speedy recovery,” he reportedly wrote on his Instagram Stories, per People. He also asked the public to “please send healing goodness his way.” Ruffalo and Renner co-starred in three Avengers movies, as Hulk and Clint Barton, respectively. Director James Gunn, who is behind Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy franchise, posted “My heart is with @JeremyRenner.” Fellow actor Josh Gad also tweeted, “My God. Praying for @JeremyRenner and his family.” On New Year’s Day, the Hawkeye actor was airlifted to the hospital after sustaining injuries while using a snowplow on his property in Reno, Nevada. He underwent surgery the following day where he was said to be in “critical but stable condition.” “Upon arrival, deputies coordinated with Truckee Meadows Fire Protection District and REMSA Health to arrange for medical transport of Mr. Jeremy Renner via care flight to a local area hospital,” public information officer Kristin Vietti shared, as Parade previously reported. According to video footage and details from a neighbor obtained by TMZ, the plowing machine—called a Snowcat—accidentally ran over one of Jeremy’s legs, causing him to lose a large amount of blood. The outlet reported that another neighbor, who’s a doctor, was able to put a tourniquet on his leg until paramedics arrived. A rep for the 51-year-old actor released a statement to People: “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.” “Jeremy’s family would like to express their gratitude to the incredible doctors and nurses looking after him, Truckee Meadows Fire and Rescue, Washoe County Sheriff, Reno City Mayor Hillary Schieve and the Carano and Murdock families. They are also tremendously overwhelmed and appreciative of the outpouring of love and support from his fans,” it concluded. The Oscar nominee currently portrays Mike McLusky in Paramount+’s Mayor of Kingstown.
