Jeremy Renner’s daughter was forced to “grow up in a lot of ways” after he was almost killed in a snowplough accident. The ‘Mayor of Kingstown’ actor, 53, was pulverised by his hulking 14,300lb PistenBullly machine as he was helping his nephew dislodge a stuck vehicle from the snow on New Year’s Day 2023 – leaving him with 38 broken bones, a collapsed lung and massive chest trauma that took him months to fight back from. He has now told Parents about how the accident and his recovery sparked a “role reversal” between himself and his 11-year-old daughter Ava: “I became the kid for the first six months.
My daughter had to take care of me. “There was something quite beautiful in that role reversal. She had to grow up in a lot of ways.
I overcame a lot of obstacles and got to show my daughter what resilience means by going through this journey with me.” Jeremy, who has Ava with his actress ex Sonni Pacheco, 36, added he doesn’t have a “bad day anymore” despite his gruelling recovery. But he added about needing his family’s support: “As any parent knows, it takes a village.
” Jeremy went on about having a support structure in his life: “I think it’s very important to build one. You’re going to need many, many people – a cool uncle, a strong aunt – so that your kids have other voices in their lives that will be important to them and their perspectives. “You can’t do it all for your kids 100 per cent of the time.
As much as we want to.
