Jeremy Renner’s recovery from a near-fatal snowplow accident is about to complete a year now. The actor believes it was a miracle thanks to his 11-year-old Ava. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, revealed how his daughter has been the biggest support system throughout this difficult period of his life. As a result of the accident, Renner suffered a number of horrific injuries, including eight ribs broken in 14 places, a broken right knee and ankle, a broken left leg, tibia, and left ankle, and also a broken right shoulder.
Jeremy Renner said his daughter Ava is his life force
The 53-year-old said of her daughter Ava with his ex-wife, Sonni Pacheco, “She is everything. She’s my life force. I felt such guilt for not wanting to come back ’cause I was OK not coming back to this planet, but I felt so bad because I forgot about my daughter.”
The Mayor of Kingstown star continues”I forgot about everybody else, but she’s my life force, man. It took me away from any pain. I would feel, ‘So, all I have to do is get better for her’ [because] when you do that, you’re not worried about yourself and how you’re feeling and how broken you are. It’s like, ‘How do I help my daughter not be scared that her dad’s not doing so well?’ So, it was quite a blessing to have her as my ally, my champion through this, and she became a much stronger young woman because of that.”
Renner made his gigantic comeback near his home in the Mt. Rose Highway area of Reno, Nevada after rocked a blue suit while Ava at the time, wore a matching navy blue gown. The 10-year-old supported her father by holding his hand while Renner walked with the help of a cane.
Moreover, talking about the bonding with his daughter he noted, “We share the weekends together, so I can kind of get better through the week, and every week I’d show her how much I’m improving, and that would alleviate a lot of the fears and terror in her. And she had to trust me more. I asked her to wait for me, and if you wait for me, I will promise you I’ll get better and I’ll be stronger than I was before, I promise you. And that is my fuel, right? And she’s growing as a young lady.”
Needless to say, this father-daughter duo is teaching us the true meaning of love and support.
