Avengers star Jeremy Renner has delighted and inspired his fans by proudly revealing that he is a bionic man.
The actor took to Twitter to share an affirmation and photo of himself on the red carpet at the premiere of his docuseries Rennervations – a feat that seemed impossible when he sustained life-threatening wounds after being run over by a snow plow on New Year’s Day.
Renner’s use of the #bionic hashtag touched many of his 6.5 million followers, who witnessed his grueling recovery from 30 broken bones and a shattered leg. Many felt uplifted by his grit and determination to defy the odds, while others identified with the actor because they also have titanium bone replacements. His improbable yet triumphant return to the red carpet to promote his new show has inspired countless others on the road to recovery.
The thread blossomed with testimonies from courageous fellow survivors, many of whom came forward to share their bionic journeys.
Another opened up about how near-fatal injuries can impact individuals and families.
Others applauded Renner’s fortitude with Hawkeye GIFs.
Renner was thanked for sharing a tweet that motivated them to overcome feelings of despair.
One fan sent Renner the sweetest virtual hug.
Renner is keeping his eyes fixed on the bright side of his swift recovery and moving forward to promote his passion project, Rennervations. The docuseries sees the actor work with a team of professional builders to repair decommissioned government vehicles and transform them to bus children in need.
He is no stranger to refurbishing designs, having run a successful real estate business with his friend Kristoffer Winters since 2002. The show features some of his famous friends, including Anthony Mackie, Vanessa Hudgens, Anil Kapoor, and Sebastián Yatra.
Rennervations is streaming on Disney Plus.
