Article Summary

  • Jeremy Renner confirms his return to "Mayor of Kingstown" after recovery.
  • Renner sustained 30 broken bones in a snowplow accident, now ready to return a year later.
  • Interview reveals his drive: his daughter, family, and fans' support.
  • Shares on New Year's Eve how his recovery is also healing for his nephew.

As we headed toward the end of the year, the rumblings began growing that Jeremy Renner would be returning to film the third season of Taylor Sheridan & Hugh Dillon's Mayor of Kingstown this month – with the actor and his co-star Emma Laird signaling as such on social media. Now, a year after the actor suffered a near-fatal snowplow accident that resulted in serious injuries (including more than 30 broken bones) that would require months of therapy, Renner confirmed to Andy Cohen & Anderson Cooper during CNN's New Year's Eve special that he's ready to return. "I think I'm ready. I think I'm strong enough. We'll see…. I literally go back in a week. But I'll be doing my best, trying my hardest." Renner also discussed his journey towards recovery and how important it was to have his family, friends, and fans – along with a team of medical professionals – help him make such a quick recovery.

"I'm just so blessed that I have so many things to live for, brother. I have a giant family; I have a 10-year-old daughter, [and] I would've disappointed and really messed up a lot of people's lives if I would've passed, and so there's a lot for me to get better for," Renner shared with Cohen & Cooper via their satellite interview. "There was a lot for me to fight for, and recovery was just a one-way road in my mind. My recovery became relief for me because I knew I could give relief to my family, my daughter, and all those that I really affected. And my poor nephew, who was there with me on that day, I gave him images that he can never unsee, but I know that my healing would be healing for him."

Renner continued, "With that, I'd never thought about my own physical ailments, my own pain, or my own anguish. I had so many things to fight for, so the one-way road of recovery was my mental sort of attitude, and that attitude was always to get better. There's no option other than that. And I still work at every part, every day, and thank God that I have a lot to fight for." Here's a look at Renner interview from New Year's Eve night:
