Jeremy Renner
I see my eyeball, I'm like, that's going to hurt later. I see my legs twisted up in directions that they're not supposed to be going. Like, that's going to hurt later. But I can't worry about that right now. I gotta worry about blowing out air so I can suck air back in. Otherwise, this is. I'm gone.
- [01:35]
Kelly Ripa
Somebody gonna cue me or do I cue myself? Cue yourself. Okay, we are back, everyone, with season three of let's Talk off Camera. So let's get talking. Oh, my gosh. I don't know how you're doing it, Jan, but I mean. Today's guest, Jeremy Renner.
- [01:53]
Jan
I know we're killing it.
- [01:54]
Kelly Ripa
We are crushing it.
- [01:56]
Jan
He's like a real avenger.
- [01:58]
Kelly Ripa
This is being seen in my house.
- [02:00]
Jan
This is a big deal.
- [02:01]
Kelly Ripa
Big deal. Very big deal in this house. Big deal in this house. Not just on screen. In real life, this man is a superhero. He's a two time Oscar nominee and one of Hollywood's greatest actors. You've seen him in the Hurt Locker, the Town, Mission Impossible, the mayor of Kingstown, and of course as Hawkeye in the Avengers Universe.
- [02:23]
Jeremy Renner
Wow.
- [02:24]
Kelly Ripa
But he had this horrible freak accident in 2023. The fact that he survived is extraordinary. Miraculous. I mean, there's not enough, you know, superlatives to sort of actually say what it was. It was just like, yeah, unbelievable. Just unbelievable. Makes you believe in something else. But I think it really, it's changed his perspective on life. Certainly changed my perspective on life. And it didn't happen to me. Yeah, but he's sharing his story now in the new book My Next Breath. Yeah, I mean, so many potential titles for this story.
- [03:02]
Jan
Yes.
- [03:02]
Kelly Ripa
We're gonna get into all of that with him in a minute. But before we get to that, Jan, Albert, the people of the universe, particularly, particularly the drive home crowd.
- [03:16]
Jan
Yes.
- [03:17]
Kelly Ripa
They want to know what's new with you two.
- [03:19]
Albert
Oh, this weekend. So I immediately thought of you. Someone emails me over the weekend a work related thing. I reply to the email and I get there out of office.
- [03:30]
Kelly Ripa
Oh, and how much did that irritate you?
- [03:33]
Albert
It irritated me, but it reminded me of your irritation. But then I was thinking, I don't remember emailing you on vacation and having my out of office on at the same time.
- [03:43]
Kelly Ripa
Well, it's only happened every time, so I can't actually narrow it down to a single time because it's every time. So you will send me a work email while I'm on vacation and I respond to your work email and I get your irritating. I'm out of the office on vacation, celebrating Flag Day.
- [04:05]
Albert
Celebrating Flag Day.
- [04:07]
Jan
That's annoying.
- [04:08]
Albert
I'm gonna add that in for.
- [04:09]
Kelly Ripa
It's so annoying.
- [04:10]
Albert
I've tried. There has to be a way to eliminate people from your out of replies than I've tried.
- [04:16]
Kelly Ripa
Try harder.
- [04:18]
Jan
What's more annoying to you? That or a reply all email where there's like all these people on an email and everybody replies all. I'm on one of those right now and I want to.
- [04:26]
Kelly Ripa
I can speak about the reply all, but you're going to have to edit it all.
- [04:30]
Jan
All right, Jeremy Renner's ready, I'm being told.
- [04:32]
Kelly Ripa
Okay. Oh, look at him. Look at Captain Handsome. Okay, because we're an off camera podcast, Jeremy Renner, I want to describe to my audience what I'm looking at.
- [04:46]
Jeremy Renner
Okay.
- [04:46]
Kelly Ripa
I'm looking at a fit, well trained, royal blue skin, tight. I'm gonna call it a onesie bodysuit. I don't know what's going on on the bottom, but in my mind it's a onesie bodysuit. Zip up it. Zip ups. It snaps in the crotch. Jan, he's sitting on a leather club chair. And I don't mean the shitty kind. Albert. No, I'm talking about this is high end. This is the stuff you find in a Parisian market. Behind him is a stone fireplace, probably that he made himself. Is this a rental house?
- [05:23]
Jeremy Renner
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm in Pittsburgh at my friend's house that I rent out when I'm filming Mayor Kingston and.
- [05:30]
Kelly Ripa
Okay, so is it season four?
- [05:33]
Jeremy Renner
Yes, it is.
- [05:34]
Kelly Ripa
And Edie Falco joined this season.
- [05:36]
Jeremy Renner
Yes. Yeah. So this, you know, also kind of, you know, excites things a bit. You know, got some new players and Edie Falco's awesome. She's such a great gal.
- [05:46]
Kelly Ripa
She's a singular person. She's just really special.
- [05:49]
Jeremy Renner
I love her so much. So it's been really great to work with her and spend time with her, man. It's pretty awesome.
- [05:54]
Kelly Ripa
You know, we're going to get into your book, which Jan and I thoroughly, thoroughly enjoyed, and there's so much to unpack, so. But before we get into it, I know that you're known for doing your own stunts, but please tell me now, post accident, that you are now letting the stuntmen do the stunts. Because if it's one thing we have learned is that you are a national treasure and we don't want anything else bad to happen to you.
- [06:27]
Jeremy Renner
I always. What I do is I listen to my body. My body is the director that leads the charge. So if I can do it, my body lets me do it, then I do it. I listen. He says, you know, like, today I tried to go just into the gym, at the gym here in the garage, and I just went to go pick up some dumbbells. And they're like, yeah, but the tendons in my arms are, like, screaming, that's not happening. So, like, I put them down, just stretched instead, came back in, no ego, done. But then there are days I'm, you know, crushing, you know, £200 and blah, blah, left and right, but I just listen to my body. So the stunt, if I can do the stun, I'll do it. If not, I'm happy to let somebody else do it.
- [07:05]
Kelly Ripa
Do you feel weather in your body post the accident? Do you. Can you tell when it's going to rain or when it's going to snow? That kind of thing.
- [07:13]
Jeremy Renner
I know, I know when. I mean, whether certain weather sort of sucks or. Yeah, well, I think, you know, it's. There's less blood flow. When there's less blood flow, there's less healing and more inflammation can take place. More stiffness, more discomfort. And that's the only thing that I battle on a daily basis.
- [07:31]
Kelly Ripa
You know, Jan and I were talking about the alternate choices for the title of your book, because My Next Breath is a great title.
- [07:40]
Jeremy Renner
Yeah, thank you.
- [07:41]
Kelly Ripa
It's a great title. But we were thinking, not today, Satan. Nice try, motherfucker. We had, like, lots of alternative titles that I think would also apply. Can you take me back to the moments right before the accident and then we'll get into the accident.
- [08:01]
Jeremy Renner
Okay.
- [08:02]
Kelly Ripa
It's New year's day. It's 20, 23. It's day one. All things are possible, right?
- [08:09]
Jeremy Renner
Yes. Yeah. Yeah. The sun came out after a gnarly three day storm that dumped a good 10ft of snow. And we were snowed in without power for like three days. And we had like 25 people in my home celebrating, you know, post Christmas up into to New Year's. We do it every year. And we had a break in the storm. There's another storm coming. But at least we had New Year's Day. Bright and sunshiny. Nothing better than after a bunch of snow being dumped and the sun coming out.
- [08:39]
Kelly Ripa
Yeah, beautiful.
- [08:40]
Jeremy Renner
It's to me, you know, if there was, if there was a heaven, that's what it would look like.
- [08:43]
Kelly Ripa
Right.
- [08:44]
Jeremy Renner
But there was a lot of snow. It was a lot of work to move that snow. It's like moving sand. So I wanted to get people outside either, you know, sledding or skiing. And so everybody's got up very early after a New Year's evening to go have a wonderful day. And it was, I took the responsibility to kind of clear snow and make sure that, you know, because I was going to take all the kids skiing and then the adults were not going to do whatever they wanted to do. And so that was my job. In the morning, we don't, we don't know. We had no cell phones, there's no electricity. Sometimes the ski resorts, the snow will get so high it'll be above the ski lifts.
- [09:17]
Kelly Ripa
Right.
- [09:17]
Jeremy Renner
Because they cleared as fast either. So we didn't know if the ski resort was open, but at least we can make the attempt and see. Like, look, we gotta, we're gonna want to play in the snow.
- [09:27]
Kelly Ripa
Yeah, we got our gear on. We can do it.
- [09:29]
Jeremy Renner
Yeah, yeah, we're gonna do something. Right? So whatever it was, I was either, I was gonna. If that was closed, then the mountain was closed, then I would just make ski runs or sledding runs for the kids to go down with a snow cap. That was kind of the intention. That was, that was the day. And got up early to go sort out the chores. And I had some help with my, my nephew and a couple friends to help because it's a massive, massive undertaking.
- [09:52]
Kelly Ripa
So explain to us what a snowcat is. A city slickers. You know, I'm like a snow cat. Is that an animal or.
- [10:00]
Jeremy Renner
Yeah, yeah, right, exactly. It's a. It's a. If they use them in ski resorts to cut trails, to move snow, to throw snow. But the shape of it is. Is very wide. And there's about £16,000, £20,000. Anywhere between 16, £20,000. And it's like a tank. So it operates like a tank or a skid steer, which means it. You don't really steer it. It kind of. The tracks rule in opposite directions or at the same time going forward, back. But you can turn in a circle on that circle on the dime. So it's pretty nimble for a big, big machine. And it's wide. It's got these steel tracks on each side. They're about probably like 5ft wide on each side. And a set of tires rolls around these tracks roll around these set of tires on each side to control it going forward and back. It's wide because. So it doesn't sink into the snow. So that's basically what it is. And I use it to. With a big. It has a big steel blade on the front of it to scrape the snow off the road and push it off to the side. Some of them will have a snow thrower on top of it, so it'll just throw snow 40ft in another direction. To get out again, you have to move mass. So they're used to move mass, typically, and they can float on the snow and be very gracious and nimble as pieces of machinery.
- [11:22]
Kelly Ripa
You've used it a thousand times, like you.
- [11:25]
Jeremy Renner
A thousand times like the back of.
- [11:26]
Kelly Ripa
Your hand, this thing.
- [11:27]
Jeremy Renner
Yeah.
- [11:28]
Kelly Ripa
Yeah, right. And so how did things go so wrong? How does your nephew Alex come into play? What. What happens?
- [11:35]
Jeremy Renner
My driveway is about a half mile long that I always have to maintain anyway, with the snow. So used to doing that. So a lot of vehicles got stuck on that driveway. A lot of snowmobiles even got stuck. A lot of things were in the way, so I had to clear those out first to kind of move some of the snow. But we got to towards the end, and there's only one truck that was stuck. And we went to hook that up and pull it out, just like a tow truck would just hang a chain on it and just yank it through the snow up to a place that was not so buried in snow. And that was the last sort of task we had to do. And as we did it, pulled a truck out with. With Snowcat up to the part of the residential area of the neighborhood that I live in that was already plowed. It was. So it's just ice and Asphalt. So we pulled the truck onto that, unhooked the truck from the Snowcat. I turned the Snow Cat around and then went to talk to Alex to see what the next plan was. Because we saw that the roads were closed, and that meant the ski resort was probably closed. That's just, you know, we're just talking about, like, what we're going to do now that the. At least the driveway is cleared out. But it was still very, very slippery on that. On that driveway where we were parked. And then we started skidding towards him. Couldn't really see him and try to keep getting back. I had to get back out onto the tracks to stand on the tracks of this thing, to. To talk to him, because you can't. The machine's loud. Just the situation we were in, to be able to communicate. I had to get out of the machine to get in and out of the machine. You still have to step on tracks, mind you.
- [13:07]
Kelly Ripa
Right.
- [13:07]
Jeremy Renner
So the problem was, is that we were sliding on the ice and it was sliding towards him. I didn't like it, so I had to get. Get back into the Snow Cat to crank the toggle to get me back a handful of feet, safe distance for him. But I'd get back out and still sliding and didn't like it. And my foot was still on the track on one of the times I was backing up and it threw me off the machine. So now it's going barreling full speed towards Alex and he's between the Snowcat in this truck. So hence why I tried to jump on it. And then all hell broke loose.
- [13:38]
Kelly Ripa
I want to go. I want to go to one of the last lines of your book where you write, thank God I died, and thank God I really get to live.
- [13:50]
Jeremy Renner
Yeah.
- [13:50]
Kelly Ripa
When you were run over by this thing, were you aware of what was happening? Can you walk me through that?
- [14:00]
Jeremy Renner
It's. I was awake for the whole process. I mean, the process from once I was under it, you know, it's probably only under it for, like, less than 10 seconds. And that's just the. Dealing with the crushing injury and trying to breathe. And, you know, it's. If I was. If I passed out, I would not be sitting here right now. I'd be dead.
- [14:24]
Kelly Ripa
Right.
- [14:24]
Jeremy Renner
My body was not breathing. There's no breathing happening.
- [14:27]
Kelly Ripa
Right.
- [14:28]
Jeremy Renner
It was impossible. My body was clapped on itself. And from a rib cage and the skull down, every part of my body was questioned. But the breathing mechanism in my body, there's no reflexive breathing. It's just not going to happen. And it took a lot of effort, all my strength to exhale some, just to inhale some and to stay conscious. If I. If I passed out, I'm a goner.
- [14:55]
Kelly Ripa
What are you saying to yourself in that moment, like, besides inhale, exhale. Are you saying a body inventory?
- [15:03]
Jeremy Renner
What's preventing me from breathing?
- [15:04]
Kelly Ripa
Right, okay.
- [15:06]
Jeremy Renner
Body inventory. And I've never felt anything like this.
- [15:08]
Kelly Ripa
Right.
- [15:09]
Jeremy Renner
And, you know, it's. It's. It's. It's kind of like the idea if you get kicked in the stomach or something or punched in the stomach and you lose your wind, that panic of, like. Right.
- [15:18]
Kelly Ripa
Knocked out of you.
- [15:19]
Jeremy Renner
Yeah, you get the wind knocked out of you. It has that sort of feeling, but it doesn't come back is the problem. So the wind's knocked out of you, and it's not coming back. So don't panic. But like, this, like, I'm trying to, like, release my diet frame. What. What can I do here? I'm, like, literally doing body inventory. My. I see my eyeball. I'm like, that's going to hurt later. I see my legs twisted up in directions that they're not supposed to be going. Like, that's going to hurt later. But I can't worry about that right now. I got to worry about blowing out air so I can suck air back in. Otherwise, this is. I'm a goner.
- [15:48]
Kelly Ripa
You see your eyeball because it actually popped out of your head.
- [15:51]
Jeremy Renner
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I saw my left eye with my right eye. So I just lean on to the eye and to kind of keep it on ice. Yeah, let me just do that.
- [16:01]
Kelly Ripa
That's actually really smart.
- [16:02]
Jeremy Renner
It's an icy. Icy asphalt. So I just went more onto the icy part just to kind of keep my eyeball on ice. Right. So it's just all body awareness, just trying to make moves to survive. But I have to keep my breath. Otherwise none of it matters.
- [16:16]
Jan
What I loved was how in the book you talked about the. One of the things that helped you keep your breath was that your mom used to bring you to her Lamaze classes, and that's how you learned to breathe. I thought that was so interesting.
- [16:29]
Jeremy Renner
Yeah, well, I mean, you know, I'm not thinking that on the ice.
- [16:32]
Kelly Ripa
Right, right.
- [16:34]
Jeremy Renner
In writing the book was I clued into. I had to think about how and where some of these behaviors came from. At least I had to question them, because people ask all the time, how did you not die? You should be dead. I'm like, yeah, I know. I mean, it's why the book is called My next breath. I mean, define Lamaze. Look up Lamaze right now and look at the definition of what Lamaze is. It's mitigating pain. It's pain management while going through the most painful thing a woman typically can go through. Right. Physically. And I have not. Look, giving birth to a child, I don't think I can manage that.
- [17:07]
Kelly Ripa
I think you're an honorary member at this point. It sounds like. You actually sound like you're describing childbirth kind of perfectly.
- [17:14]
Jeremy Renner
Yeah. I mean, maybe having the steel tracks right over my skull and something had to give and my goal gave crack.
- [17:22]
Kelly Ripa
You gave birth to yourself.
- [17:24]
Jeremy Renner
Yeah. Yeah. That was brutal.
- [17:26]
Kelly Ripa
Here's. Here's the thing. Jan and Albert. So let's. Let's forget the accident for a minute. All of the things Jeremy was doing before the accident. I don't know a single actor. I don't know actors that can open their own trailer doors. Like they can't figure out how to get an omelet themselves. And he's snowcatting, he's carving roads. He's gonna take the kids, the 25 kids on the ski run. He's like Miss Captain America. Then he has this horrible accident. He prevents his nephew from getting killed. He gets run over and crushed by a snow cat. Okay. And then he's talking to himself about breathing, body awareness, keeping his eye on ice because he may need that later. Do you know any other actor?
- [18:22]
Jan
I don't know any other person.
- [18:24]
Kelly Ripa
Okay, person. I shouldn't say actor because there is no other actor. You. You understand what I'm saying, Jeremy, right. That you are a very unique and special. And I mean that in the most profound way. Person.
- [18:39]
Jeremy Renner
Well, I think, you know that no one knows until they're tested. No one knows what someone's going to do in any situation until they're tested. I've been in places in my life where there has been tests more on other people or in high stress situations. What do people do? Are they actionable or they. They panic? There's one or two things that people do and. Yeah, I. I don't know. It's. It's the logical thing to do. What else. What else are you going to do? Right. You can't panic. That's not going to help. I gotta take. I gotta do. You know, I was. I know I always kept, like a really positive attitude about it too, because it was. Because I knew if I went the other way.
- [19:25]
Kelly Ripa
Yeah.
- [19:26]
Jeremy Renner
How horrifying images I saw were. What I was feeling was something I've never felt like in My life, I was on fire. As I was being electrocuted, as I was just crushed. It was all these feelings, like my nerve endings were like just going crazy. So I can't give that value right now. I cannot do that.
- [19:45]
Kelly Ripa
Pray. Did you pray in that moment? Like, God, please end my suffering?
- [19:56]
Jeremy Renner
I, I, I may have, I may have, like, had a quick thought on that.
- [20:04]
Kelly Ripa
Yeah.
- [20:04]
Jeremy Renner
But it wasn't until later, probably closer to when I was, when I died because the ambulance and fire department first responders couldn't get there for a good half hour.
- [20:14]
Kelly Ripa
Oh, my God. Oh, God.
- [20:16]
Jeremy Renner
So that's a long time to, to really suffer. And they brought relief for sure. But I died before that. I died before they got there because I got too tired of breathing. I just ran out of energy. I just got tired. And then that my positivity of like, I still thought I was going to get up, work out this cramp, walk back to the house and say, hey, we're not going skiing today. Uncle Jerry's just got to work out this cramp and get some ice in the eye, get the Epsom salt in the bath. I'm gonna be fine. Like, I still thought that you really.
- [20:45]
Kelly Ripa
Had that thought process. Oh, yeah, this is just a flesh wound.
- [20:48]
Jeremy Renner
Maybe I'm not gonna, maybe I'm gonna have to like snowmobile back to the house. And then I get, got less optimistic as the minutes went by. Now it's a half hour, you know, like 25 minutes into it is when I just got too tired of breathing. And then I stopped breathing.
- [21:07]
Kelly Ripa
So you stop breathing and what happens? Like people have near death experiences. They talk about the light going into the white room. Sometimes they see people from their past.

You know, Albert, I was browsing Quince's website because I'm already starting to think about what to wear to this year's sausage festival. Jan they have the cutest suede clog mules that are a third of the price of what I've seen in the stores everywhere. We've got to get those asap. We got to get a pair for Audrey.

- [24:34]
Jeremy Renner
All that, all of it? Yeah. I didn't know. It's really interesting too because I was very insular. I knew nothing about near death experiences, had no experiences of it or anybody else that did it. But this is a, it's a big thing. It's a lot of research done on it and fascinating to me. The confirmations that, that I received just by listening to other people's stories and how similar they are almost word for word experiencing all the same thing. A lot of confirmations that, that I, I got from it and things I, I Believe. And then, you know, it's a great, great relief is all I can say. It's a wonderful, wonderful relief to be removed from your body.
- [25:21]
Jan
You felt peace, right? You felt happy?

Jeremy Renner
Oh, yeah. And it's the most exhilarating peace you could. You could ever feel. You don't see anything but what's in your mind's eye. Like you're. You're. You're the atoms of who you are, the DNA. Like you're, you know, your spirit is. It's like. It's a. It's like the highest adrenaline rush. But the peace that comes with it, you know, it's magnificent. So magical. And I didn't want to come back. I remember, and I was brought back and I was so pissed off, I came back. I'm like, oh, they pulled you back on. I think probably for. It doesn't matter if it's 5 minutes or. Or 2 minutes or. Or 10, but it come back. And I saw the eyeball again. I'm like, oh, not the eyeball.
- [26:08]
Kelly Ripa
It's still here.
- [26:10]
Jeremy Renner
That's still here. I'm like, oh, I'm back. Saw my legs. I'm like, yeah, that's gonna hurt later. I'm like, all right, let me continue to breathe.
- [26:18]
Kelly Ripa
Did you talk to anybody when you were gone?
- [26:22]
Jeremy Renner
You don't need to. That's a human experience.
- [26:24]
Kelly Ripa
Yeah.
- [26:25]
Jeremy Renner
Time is a human construct. It's useless. Not linear. It's not. It's not how it exists. This is like the most remedial version of your spirit's existence is being on Earth. This is so remedial language and all these things and blah, blah. It's all knowing, all experiencing, all at the same time, all at once.
- [26:48]
Kelly Ripa
So you have a totally new perspective and viewpoint on life. I. I mean, you must now, now. You certainly must.
- [26:56]
Jeremy Renner
I mean, the one. I mean, it's a great confirmation, you know, It's a great confirmation and it makes me a man that didn't want to come back, really be able to be back here and live on my terms as the captain of my own ship, and get on it or off it, I don't give a fuck. I'm going to live life on my own terms and for nobody else. Very clear. The white noise is ripped away. I repel the things I gave credence to. Can't stomach the idea. The things I gave credence to prior to the accident. Why I gave so much value to things that have zero value. So I invest into no stocks or bonds. I invest down to crypto or bitcoin I invest into love and my shared relationships that I experience love with. Because that is the only thing that you take with you.
- [27:52]
Kelly Ripa
I have to say, it sounds like, I mean, from my perspective, you were doing that before.
- [27:56]
Jeremy Renner
I was doing that before.
- [27:58]
Kelly Ripa
I don't know many people I wipe.
- [28:00]
Jeremy Renner
But I get away the white noise of all the other things that maybe took some of my time away from the shared experience. You know, much of my career I've spent, as magnificent as it is, I did it alone.
- [28:11]
Kelly Ripa
Yeah.
- [28:11]
Jeremy Renner
I mean, there's people I work with and friendships that I garnered from those experiences, but my family was removed. Yeah, Yeah. I, I, I, I refuse, like, you're doing this show. I'm only doing the show in Pittsburgh because I have flights available to my daughter at any time, any weekend that she wants to come visit and be with me. She's 12 now, so she likes her friends a bit more than dad right now. So, like, I don't get to see her as much.
- [28:34]
Kelly Ripa
She's gonna come back, I'm telling you.
- [28:36]
Jeremy Renner
Oh, yeah, for sure.
- [28:38]
Kelly Ripa
Do you have, well, let me, I have two questions. Number one, did you, do you, did you join, like, a support group or like a therapy group to work through any PTSD that you experience or you must have, you must flashback to that or at least, you know, being on a press tour for your book, talking about it being fully.
- [29:02]
Jeremy Renner
Oh, yeah, I was just gonna say, yeah, yeah. This is, I think this is that, I think writing the book is, was my therapy. You know, I had, I had my therapist actually come to the ICU when I was in LA because I was, I wasn't sleeping and I was really troubled and I was really quite a terrible patient because I wasn't sleeping. I was asking, I want a bodyguard. Somebody let me sleep. Because all the nurses kept coming in, blah, blah. But the therapist says, okay, you know, afterwards, after the fact, you want me, you want to do some talks? I'm like, I'm not sure what you're going to share with me. You. I don't think you got ran over by a snow cat. I mean, I could, I could counsel you a bit, but yeah, I'm doing good. As long as I'm getting sleep, I'm fine. And I want off these, this oxy as fast as possible. I hate pain meds. As long as I get sleep and get off these pain meds, I'm happy.
- [29:52]
Kelly Ripa
Right?
- [29:52]
Jeremy Renner
Of course there are, you know, the looming and haunting images of the, the accident. I sleep in a certain position exactly how I got ran Over. It's just how I naturally sleep. And so I'm always reminded of the image and the feeling and the thing. But, you know, as time goes on, like anything, it heals it. You know, it just takes time. I did. I did have night terrors, and I bit down on my misaligned jaw because it's been shattered three times. And I pop a tooth, crack a tooth through the. To the nerve and whatever. That's the worst that's going to happen at this point. Well, that's nothing.
- [30:31]
Kelly Ripa
I can take you with me to therapy if you would want me to come with. Like, I will take you with me. I'm gonna get you there. Cause, you know. You know, personally, I happen to like Jeremy a lot. You're. You happen to. As an actor, yes.
- [30:47]
F
We all know I love you as.
- [30:49]
Kelly Ripa
An actor, but as a person, I happen to like you very much. And I worry that something like this could have, like, lasting trauma that you don't. That you're not resolving. And I. I just want you to heal, like, on the inside and outside.
- [31:08]
Jeremy Renner
Like anything, the fortitude is just all mental. And I spend most of it on mental. My recovery, it is. It. How I got through it physically was mental. Attitude, optimism, my perceptions. What I take from the recovery, what I take from dying is the clarity and the joys of oversimplified life. Because it is so simple. My mind is so right. So the mental part of it I haven't had. I don't have any nightmares. I sleep really well. My body's in good conditions. My brain is in great condition.
- [31:44]
Kelly Ripa
Good.
- [31:45]
Jeremy Renner
I have so much joy and love and peace in my life that it's hard to. Hard to even contain it.
- [31:53]
Kelly Ripa
I want to take you back to the pain meds and these conversations that you were having with Jamie Foxx. Can you just explain. Explain that to our listeners?
- [32:05]
Jeremy Renner
Yeah. You know, there's sort of like a. Consciousness is a really strange thing, right. And you get kind of loopy in and out of it. And that because it wasn't on a ton, I always tried to take the bare minimum. But going from epidurals and intravenous drugs where they control it very quickly, to just pills and you get behind it, pretty. Pretty dangerous, pretty awful. But when we got it to a point where it was okay, or sometimes I get a little bit more loopy. And I'd always use humor as a barometer of my sobriety because humor requires timing, reading the room. Right. Seeing if they're laughing. Are they laughing? Was it funny or not? It Requires timing. It's a whole thing. It's a setup set up. Right. So I always use humor to see how high I was or how, you know, sober I was in the hospital and then back home as well. And then. Yeah, there's. There's times, you know, where, you know, there's a lot of alone time, you know, because healing and recovery is. No matter how much help you have and love you have, you're still doing it all on your own. And there's times where I'm up at ungodly hours and just kind of having thoughts and chatting away to the sparrows or the. The curtains or whatever the heck it was. You know, sometimes just because, like, on that show Alone, man, people just go a little berserk when they're not talking to anybody.
- [33:29]
Kelly Ripa
Alone is my favorite show. I love that show.
- [33:32]
Jeremy Renner
Right. And, like, a lot of the Light. It's one of my favorite shows, too, because of that aspect. And, like. And it's. It's. You know, we were such social creatures, and we need that aspect. And so I was. I was befriending, like, you know, Tom Hanks befriended that. That Wilson of Volley on that thing. So it's. I befriended, like, you know, inanimate objects. I talked to my own leg. Like, it's separate from my body. You know, it's. And it wasn't just because I was high. It's also just because I'm courageous enough to befriend some curtains. And we talked to my leg sober as a judge. Yell at my leg like, look, dude, I'm gonna cut you off if you're gonna keep screaming at me like, you're broken because you replaced your titanium. Now you don't get a scream at me. All these other parts, they can scream. They're literally screaming at my leg like a. Like a psychopath.
- [34:19]
Kelly Ripa
But when did Jamie Foxx come into the room?
- [34:21]
Jeremy Renner
Well, he came in because. Because he. I heard about his. His incident, you know, even though it's pretty. Not a lot of knowledge was about it, but sort of started dreaming about him or having daydreams about him in the icu and. Because all I knew is that he was. He was hospitalized. Hospitalized in the ICU and no other really, words. And then probably later on, you know, whispers of. Of what may have happened. And. Yeah, so he. And he's a friend of mine, so he just kind of came into my head and kind of made him sort of a reality. It wasn't a reality. I still haven't spoken to him directly. I mean, I've DM'd him or whatever, like on Instagram or something. We sort of kind of checked in with each other, but not like, seeing each other, but it'd be nice to. At some point.
- [35:07]
Kelly Ripa
Yeah. The two of you should go on a. Like a. I don't know how. Like a speaking circuit about surviving, you know, tragedies, surviving things. Because I'm guilty of this, and I do this for a living, but I'm guilty of this as assuming that because somebody has, like, they're at the pinnacle of their career and that they are at, you know, a Hollywood event or they look great in the tuxedo on the red carpet, I assume that they have no problems and nothing bad ever really happens to them. They're infallible in some way. And then when reality hits and life happens, it's shocking. It's like a. It's a shock that something could happen to people that seem so untouchable. Does that make sense?
- [36:05]
Jeremy Renner
Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Look, I mean, it's. It's kind of natural. Nobody wants to live in the thinking that, you know, the moment you're born, you're dying slowly every day. Right. No one wants to live in that sort of perspective. You know, how about we. We're living every day and then eventually you die, and then, oh, we all know we're gonna go, right?
- [36:26]
Kelly Ripa
Yeah.
- [36:26]
Jeremy Renner
So let's go live life to the fullest as we can, live as honorably as we can. And, you know, we live in a. Try to live in a different perspective. So it is always a shock if. Especially if it's, you know, no one's getting ran over by a dang snow cat.
- [36:39]
Kelly Ripa
Dude.
- [36:40]
Jeremy Renner
That's just that it's just not going to happen. Let me be the one, dude. It's what's. What serves us. It's. How do we deal with those things that slap us up a little bit and how do you deal with it? And that'll determine if you're going to stick around some or not.
- [36:54]
Kelly Ripa
Tell me about the people that showed up for you in ways that you didn't expect.
- [36:59]
Jeremy Renner
Oh, man. There was a blip of time where I was in a coma and didn't really know that what other people knew.
- [37:06]
Kelly Ripa
Right.
- [37:06]
Jeremy Renner
Like when I. When it made the news and thing like, what are these people worried about? Why is it on all these news channels? I'm gonna walk out of here tomorrow. I'm gonna be fine. You're.
- [37:17]
Kelly Ripa
I'm gonna snowmobile home.
- [37:19]
Jeremy Renner
Yeah. I'm out of here. I even said it once. I was an icu and I woke up and the whole thing, I'm like, dude, I don't know what they're worried about. I even snapped the photo and I looked actually pretty good. I caught my angle look. And I. I think I hid the eye duct tape to the side of my head.
- [37:31]
Kelly Ripa
Yeah, you posted it. You posted it on Instagram. Instagram. I know. I liked it.
- [37:34]
Jeremy Renner
I was like, all right, he looks fine. No, it's not fine. Yeah, there's the reflection of the glasses hid that. The eyeball was duct. Duct taped to the side of my head, dude. It's brutal. So anyway, I don't. It was. I think I was overwhelmed by. Not only by my family, by my community and Reno and Tahoe. Anthony Mackey was there. I think a lot of people were there early on when I woke up or was maybe not even quite, quite awake. I was in a coma. That could kind of induce you and they can kind of let you out a little bit. And. And I do remember that. I remember seeing Anthony Mackie. He one of the first people I saw.
- [38:17]
Kelly Ripa
Are you sure he was there?
- [38:19]
Jeremy Renner
I'm positive he was there. Yeah. And I remember there was like a proscenium of people coming to say goodbye. And I was like, you guys, I'm not dying. I was intubating this whole thing. Like. Like my all I can see is like a little slit out of my eye. There's some side eyeing people. It just seemed like these think I'm dying. You're holding my hand and looking sad. It's like I'm in an open casket in my own, like, wake. Right? I'm like, what is this? I was pissed. Then I'm like, oh, God, But I love that you're here. This is so awesome. And, you know, it was like all these mixed emotions.
- [38:56]
Kelly Ripa
Yeah. Of course they came to say goodbye.
- [38:59]
Jeremy Renner
And I'm like, this is not happening. I'm like, so glad that you're here.
- [39:01]
Kelly Ripa
Anyway, most people don't get to attend their own funerals in that way. Like, most people will never know I.
- [39:08]
Jeremy Renner
Was awake through the whole mind. It was terrible. It was terrible. But it was also great to see how many people came around to say how much I love you. And then a lot of friends came in and tried to jump in bed, just sleep there all night and be with me and watch movies and cuddle and it's like male friends like Sam Rockwell and Paul Rudd and like, we just became like 8 year olds again having a sleepover. Just happens to be in the hospital room. And watching. I'd always had a projector so I could just watch any sort of movies. Yeah, watching like horror films, because, like, nothing scarier than what was already happening in the mirror.
- [39:44]
Kelly Ripa
Exactly.
- [39:45]
Jeremy Renner
Let me watch these things.
- [39:46]
Kelly Ripa
You're like, this is nothing.
- [39:48]
Jeremy Renner
Yeah. So, yeah, all these beautiful, intimate, you know, moments shared, like, in person especially. I mean, had a lot of, like, video calls with a lot of my actor friends and friends of mine, but especially when I got in person, you know, and there's moments of energy you have, you're in the hospital, you know, sometimes you're high, sometimes you're, you're sober enough, but then you're tired, you know, it's just, it's, it's just one of those things. But to receive so much love is a big reason why I was able to recover. It certainly gave me a lot of reserve for the setbacks I was going to have and still do have in my life. I hold on to the reserve of even all thoughts and prayers that came from people, all strangers, all around the world I didn't know. I hold on to those as a reserve for times like this morning where I just couldn't pick up, you know, a five pound weight without agony and like, all right, it's not judge, it's move on. It's, you know, I can move forward with positivity. And knowing that there was so much love and support for me was, was paramount for my recovery.
- [40:54]
Kelly Ripa
Doctors and like, trauma surgeons and those kinds of guys, they don't necessarily know much about show business. And we're, we're so grateful that these people, like, go to medical school for like 85 years and become specialists and they're, they're like saving lives all over the place. Right, but were they aware of who you were or did it suddenly occur to them when the cast of the Avengers showed up or, you know, like, at what point were they made aware or were they fangirling or were they fangirling the entire time and now nurses are showing up just to volunteer to change your catheter again for the 30th time that day?
- [41:38]
Jeremy Renner
Yeah, yeah. I mean, I couldn't tell you. I'm not, I don't. There was no selfies being taken, you know, taking advantage of me when I was on my back looking under my dress, you know, or I was out when that happened. Look, I have respect, ultimate respect for our first responders and medical staff. They saved my life. I think maybe the second ICU there might have been. Look, there's already fanfare and weird stuff happening and obviously I had to change my name. They, they changed my name in the first hospital. There's a lot of people were coming flooding to the hospital and you know. Yeah, yeah, it is. It is what it is. I don't really know that side of it. I, I could care, to be honest. By the second ICU, I was in both ICUs, both six days each, and I kept trying to break out and that's all I know. It's like I was probably more of a problem patient than, than I was an actor. They wanted a photograph with her as I go. There's Renner is fucking trying to break out again. I was. What was my name? Making Bacon pancakes was my my name in the hospital.
- [42:53]
Kelly Ripa
Making bacon pancakes. I would have known that was you in three seconds. Making bacon Pancakes. You gotta come up with a better moniker.
- [43:01]
Jeremy Renner
So what do we call him? Mr. Pancakes? Or is it Mr. Bacon Bacon?
- [43:11]

I would assume that you know I already know that you're a very Extraordinary and involved father. But how has this sort of changed the way you look at your daughter?
- [45:18]
Jeremy Renner
Again, I think not a lot of things really changed. I think I received a lot of gifts from the incident. I don't think much has changed. I. I mean, I remember not being the greatest parent in the. In the first few weeks, I couldn't do anything for my daughter. I actually had to make her the parent. And I told her that, like, you got to help me. I have no use in my arms and legs. I need you to be my arms and legs now. Can you do that for me? So, yeah, Dad, I can do that. I'm like, all right, well, look, if you do that for me and you wait for me, I promise you I'll get better, I'll get faster, I'll be stronger for you, and I can be the dad that, you know, you can jump on and we can run around and do all this stuff. But if you wait for me, promise to wait for me? Yes, dad, I'll wait for you. Like, all right, then I'm gonna get better. You watch. And then I wasn't a parent to her for, you know, I could. That's me parenting her, giving her perspective, helping her shift her fear into actionability, giving her tasks. To be my arms and legs, right? To not. Not sw. Wallow in this. How bleak I looked. And green I looked. And pretty messed up I looked. My mouth was back in my head.
- [46:27]
Kelly Ripa
Oh, that's good.
- [46:28]
Jeremy Renner
I was back in the head. I could see how both eyes. It was rocking.
- [46:32]
Kelly Ripa
It's like a miracle. Really is.
- [46:34]
Jeremy Renner
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it really is. The eyesight is actually better now, too.
- [46:38]
Kelly Ripa
Wow. How is that possible?
- [46:40]
Jeremy Renner
Yeah, Pretty awesome.
- [46:41]
Jan
It's unbelievable. I feel like you're in better shape now than you were before this accident.
- [46:45]
Jeremy Renner
Yeah, yeah. Probably. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Definitely before.
- [46:48]
Kelly Ripa
Look at Jayren. He's blue onesie. Come take a peek. He's got muscle. I mean, he looks incredible. He looks incredible. It's. He's like the $6 million man.
- [46:55]
Jan
Can I just do a quick shout out to your neighbor, Barb? Because, yes, that's who I was the most touched by in this story. And if she wasn't there, I don't know that you would have survived.
- [47:08]
Jeremy Renner
No, no, it was. I mean, it took, you know, 150 people to get me to live, man. From Alex to my neighbors to. I mean, that. Just. That. Just that threesome with Alex holding my arm that ultimately lifted my rib cage off of my lungs, suffocating myself, you know that I said, hold My arm here. Oh, I can be there. And then her doing her thing to stop the bleeding out of my skull. And then rich. Haven't been 20 minutes on that 911 call to get them safely to my house, which, if you.
- [47:37]
Jan
If you listen to the audio version.
- [47:39]
Kelly Ripa
You actually hear the 911 calls.
- [47:41]
Jan
But thank God Barb was trained in med. Like, was medically trained. Like, what are the chances of that?
- [47:47]
Jeremy Renner
Yeah, dude. I mean, what are the chances of any of this?
- [47:50]
Kelly Ripa
You know what we need to do? This is like a cautionary tale. We need to find out who our neighbors are. Like, I know my neighbor down the street here is a dentist, but that doesn't help much if the shit hits the fan. You know what I mean? It's wild. I. We gotta figure. We gotta figure. We gotta get better neighbors.
- [48:07]
Jeremy Renner
Neighbors. Yeah.
- [48:08]
Kelly Ripa
We gotta move to J. We gotta move to Jeremy's neighborhood. That's the neighborhood.
- [48:12]
Jan
We want him as our neighbor.
- [48:14]
Kelly Ripa
Well, first of all, he can build us a house. He can. Like, he can do all sorts of things, and he never panics, which is a miracle. I want to talk to you about Camp Renovation. Can you tell me about it? It's sounds like such an incredible experience for foster kids.
- [48:32]
Jeremy Renner
Yeah. Yeah, it's pretty amazing. It's one of the main reasons I was brought back, I believe, coming back. And then we had the Renovations television show. Right. The docu series, which is similar to what the foundation is, but it's what's springboarded into the actual foundation. And once I released the TV show, I didn't want to do another season. It was going to be too much effort. I want to be a little bit more boots in the ground and effective to the foster youth. And I knew foster. I've been working with foster youth for many, many, many years. About a decade. But because my sister worked at DCFS and one of my best girlfriends in Reno, and it's in la, and the investor in Reno, she also works for CPS with Child Protective Services. So I'm very invested in foster youth. And because they just get this terrible end of the stick here. And so being able to grab these two badass women that work in that field and then bring them into the fold of this dream I have and my access to kids, being a Hawkeye superhero and all these sort of things, I really want to have access to kids who's a great, great, wonderful way. It's why I thought celebrities awesome, because I hated celebrity prior, but now I'm using celebrity in a really, really positive way. And it makes me feel good about being a celebrity now and being have the real effect for these kids and give them continuity and consistency and opportunities that they deserve. It's the future of our planet. Why is our education system so broken? Why is we are not investing in our youth, for God's sakes, is beyond me. So I don't worry about that problem. I just worry about my community and I'll. And I'll change the lives of these kids in my community at least one child at a time if I have to. And I used to think in such a macro level and like education and all these other things, and it's fruitless, you know, it's. I can't. I just get so. You come up against so many brick walls. But starting a community in a micro level, you can have real effect. And we've seen it already. It's by giving these kids this time and opportunity and community and consistency with that that they're not getting because of the foster care system. There's holes and gaps in that, as great as it can be. But we try to fill in the gaps where the states fail these kids and the parents.
- [50:51]
Kelly Ripa
I think it's incredible, incredible work that you're doing. And Jan, last question. Yeah, Jan has a question. She has a question for you.
- [51:01]
Jan
Is Marvel paying you double now that you've proven to be a real superhero?
- [51:05]
Jeremy Renner
That's so funny, because actually they offered me half the price of the first season to do season two of Hawkeye. And I'm like, I'm not going to do it for half the amount, so go fly kite now. This wasn't Marvel, right? If the creatives of Marvel heard that, they'd be livid. I didn't say anything. It's just the Disney accounting.
- [51:28]
Kelly Ripa
But literally I was like, we're familiar with that. We're very familiar.
- [51:32]
Jeremy Renner
LA was insulting. Like, they're like, look. They're look and say, oh, it's only for five months. I'm not going to do it for half the amount for twice double, double.
- [51:42]
Jan
We're your agents.
- [51:43]
Jeremy Renner
It's really upsetting. It's really upsetting that I had to argue and fight for my. Myself and my worth. I'm like, I didn't even ask for any more money. I said, I'll do it for the same price. Like, no, you can do it for half. I'm like, no, I'm fine. I'll. I'll stay with my daughter.
- [51:57]
Kelly Ripa
Jan is going to agent this for you. Jan is a very. You don't even understand no. Jan is offended, and now she's on. She's on a mission.

I walked away. Not insult as initially was insulted, but, like, they just made an easy decision for me. I'm like, all right, well, because you have different constraints or whatever, you have your problems. Disney, whatever your thing is, that's fine. I mean, I love Disney, and I love working with the Marvel. It was just the coldness of not. Not. I wasn't a person to them. I wasn't a person that went through a traumatic experience. I wasn't someone that I've helped them, made billions of dollars. You know, it was just sort of discounted as. As a binary, a one or a zero thing. And that's. Doesn't feel good to me. I don't think it feels good to anybody to be reduced to, like, a number. So I let that go, and I said, wait, I can. All I can do. All I have to do is say no. Even though I want to do the show. Show. Right. I still want to do the show, but I'm like, oh, okay. Well, it's just. It's just not going to work out. That's fine. And then you move on and go do something else, and if it comes back around, it comes back around. So I didn't personalize it. Didn't. I got triggered for a moment, but then like, all right, this is just an accountant trying to do his job to try to get the thing made. I'm like, all right, well, that's just not going to work out. See what I mean?

Kelly Ripa
And can Jan and I borrow your snowcat? We'll go find his house. Well, I just want to thank you for doing the podcast. You look incredible. You really do. And I feel even better. I know it was a long journey, and I'm so grateful that you made it, and I want to encourage all of our listeners. Don't forget to buy Jeremy's book, My Next Breath. Buy the hardcover and then download the audiobook. Do both, because you want to be able to read it, but you also want to be able to hear it.

Jeremy Renner
It.

Kelly Ripa
Yeah, I think they work well in tandem together.
- [53:53]
Jeremy Renner
Yeah, there's different. There's different sort of pluses that you kind of get out of either experience, but then also in the book, you get the. The images that are in the book. You see some of the things that we talked about. The. The snow cat sees my family. You see, you know, all the kind of experience, you know, and then. But the audio of the 9:1. One call is pretty quite harrowing on the audible and then I do the voice on it too, so.
- [54:17]
Kelly Ripa
Well, we really appreciate you lending your voice to this here podcast. And Jan and I just need to know. We don't want you to get involved at all. Just let us know where the keys to the snow cat is and we'll take care of the rest. As your mother. As your co. Mother. Just be careful and keep doing what you're doing. We're so happy to see you looking so well and I'm so glad that you wrote this book. It really takes people on a journey. Yeah.
