Actor Jeremy Renner is speaking out to give fans an update on his health and to thank them for their love and support following his snowplowing accident.
The 51-year-old shared an up-close selfie from the hospital bed that showed his visible injuries. He said in the caption, “Thank you all for your kind words. I’m too messed up now to type. But I send love to you all.”
Earlier this Tuesday, Renner’s publicist, Samantha Mast, shared more details on the accident that sent Renner to the hospital. She revealed that the actor was near his Nevada home, clearing driveways before the incident. He was in the middle of moving snow from his driveway on Sunday so that his family members could depart his residence after they celebrated the holidays together. “He was also helping clear out the snow of his neighbor’s home as everyone up there had been without power for 24 hours and there had been a large snowfall. So he was helping everyone in trying to clear out the snow so people could get out,” the rep added.
