“I relive it every night. It’s in my visions. It’s in my dreams and my waking thoughts,” he said. “The doctor said I even broke my taint. How do you break through a flaw?”

The actor also thanked the hospital staff who helped him and his family. He also added that there was “probably divine intervention” that saved him too.

He added: “It took the collective of all these people. That is the power of love. It’s a slow burn. Man, I’m telling you. I can barely speak.”

In January of this year, Renner returned to work to reprise his role as Mike McLusky in the Paramount+ crime drama Mayor of Kingstown.

However, he found that this was not easy, especially while he was still recovering from his physical injuries.

He said: “I’m trying to create something true and then make the audience believe it, while I’m just trying to learn to walk again, to put one foot in front of the other and not get up in agony. This is what I’m doing.” I’m doing all these things to regain my footing on the planet.

“The idea of ​​immersing myself in a fictional world – I have to be honest, I really had to think about it: ‘Is this something I really want to do?'”

The actor continued, “They say, ‘And action!’ And I was (asleep). We realized they were pushing me too hard, too many hours, too many days in a row.

“I’m willing to do anything, but what I can do is something else.”

“Mayor of Kingstown” premieres June 3 on Paramount+.
