Jeremy Renner was 'p***ed off' for being revived after snowplow accident as he 'didn't want to come back'

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Jeremy Renner has revealed that he was "pi**ed off" for a brief moment as paramedics tried to revive him after a snowplow accident at his property in Reno, Nevada.

The 54-year-old actor appeared on Kelly Ripa’s podcast, ‘Let’s Talk Off Camera’, where he talked about the 2023 New Year's Day near-fatal incident when he was crushed by a running Snowcat while saving his nephew from it, as per the Daily Beast.

The tragedy hospitalized him for months as he broke around 40 of his bones.

Jeremy Renner felt relieved to be ‘removed from [his] body’

Recalling the horror, the ‘Mayor of Kingstown’ actor told Ripa that he was “gone” for five to ten minutes and he “didn’t want to come back.”

“I remember, and I was brought back and I was so p***ed off,” he stated.

Renner further mentioned that though his chest essentially “collapsed in on itself”, he felt a “wonderful relief” to be “removed from [his] body.”

The 'Avengers' star continued, “It is the most exhilarating peace you could ever feel. You don’t see anything but what’s in your mind’s eye…”

“It’s the highest adrenaline rush. But the peace that comes with it, it’s magnificent, it’s so magical,” he asserted.

Jeremy Renner says ‘the afterlife is not linear’

During the podcast when Ripa asked Renner if he had the chance to “speak to anyone” while being away for a few minutes, he replied, “Time is a human construct. It’s useless.”

“[The afterlife] is not linear. It’s not how it exists. It’s just like the most remedial version of your spirit’s existence is being on Earth,” he added.

However, the ‘Wind River’ actor admitted that the deadly accident made him “really be able to be back here and live on my own terms as the captain of my own ship.”

“I can’t stomach the things I gave credence to prior to the accident. I invest into love and my shared relationships that I experience love with. Cause that is the only thing that you take with you,” Renner mentioned.

Jeremy Renner ‘could see everything all at once’ when he ‘died’

Renner's memoir, ‘My Next Breath’, also provides insight into his accident.

In his book, he said, “After about 30 minutes on the ice, breathing manually for so long, an effort akin to doing 10 or 20 push-ups per minute for half an hour … that’s when I died. I could see my lifetime. I could see everything all at once. In death, there was no time, no time at all, yet it was also all time and forever,” as per The Hollywood Reporter.

The Oscar-nominated actor also stated that he “didn’t f**king die. So the celebration of New Year becomes a recognition of the depth of the love in our family.”
