The Marvel star told Sawyer 'I chose to survive' in his first interview since the near-fatal accident on New Year's Day.

Next week, the world will hear Jeremy Renner recount the near-fatal horror he faced on New Year's Day when he was pulled under his 14,330 pound snowplow.

The two time Oscar nominee and Marvel star opened up to Diane Sawyer for his first interview since the accident in an hourlong special titled Jeremy Renner: The Diane Sawyer Interview - A Story of Terror, Survival and Triumph.


Renner, who was trying to divert the Sno-Cat that was sliding down a hill and heading for his nephew, suffered injuries including more than 30 broken bones. But he told Sawyer he'd "do it again."

In a released trailer for the special, Renner told Sawyer he remembered all of the pain:

"I was awake for every moment."

The Mayor of Kingstown star also told Sawyer:

"I'd do it again."
"Because it was going right at my nephew."

Renner's nephew also recalled the moment he found his uncle.

"I just perfectly see him in a pool of blood from his head."
"I ran up to him. I didn't think he was alive."

Sawyer's special will also include 911 recordings, in which Renner could be heard moaning in the background.

As Sawyer read the lengthy list of Renner's injuries, he confirmed:

"Eight ribs broken in 14 places, right knee, right ankle broken, left tibia broken, the left ankle broken, right clavicle broken, right shoulder broken, face eye socket, the jaw, the mandible broken, lung collapsed, pierced from the rib bone—your liver... which sounds terrifying."

You can watch the trailer for the special below.

While the first two feature Renner's award-winning acting, the third features the star as himself.

According to the description for Rennervations, in the series:

"Jeremy Renner teams up with expert builders to acquire large, decommissioned government vehicles and re-imagine them as 'mind-blowing creations' that serve kids in communities worldwide."

Lindsey Graham Sparks Fury After Suggesting That Trump Could Be The Next Pope

After President Donald Trump jokingly told reporters that he'd "like to be pope" following the death of Pope Francis, South Carolina Republican Senator Lindsey Graham threw himself behind Trump's remarks, which came after Trump already raised the ire of critics for seemingly falling asleep at the Pope's funeral.

Trump said that he himself "would be my number one choice" to be the next pope after he was asked who he’d like to see become the next pontiff. That would never, ever happen—and disrespects the billions of Catholics around the world who are in mourning—but Graham suggested it was a good idea in a post on X.

Trump Bizarrely Clashes With Reporter Over Photoshopped 'Tattoo' On Abrego Garcia's Knuckles

President Donald Trump sparked criticism after claiming during an interview with ABC News’ Terry Moran that an edited photo depicting tattoos of wrongly-deported Maryland father Kilmar Abrego Garcia showed that he has an alleged connection to the MS-13 gang.

Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran national who arrived in the U.S. in 2012, was labeled a threat in 2019 due to an alleged connection to MS-13. He spent months in detention before an immigration judge found he had a credible fear of persecution—not from MS-13, but from a rival group, Barrio 18, which he said had been extorting his family.

Leavitt Lashes Out At Amazon Over 'Hostile' Plan To Display Added Tariff Costs For Products On Website

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt lashed out at Amazon over news that the commerce giant planned to display increased "import charges" on items on their Amazon Haul website, essentially showing to customers the extra money they'd have to shell out as a result of President Donald Trump's tariffs.

Trump has escalated a growing trade war by imposing tariffs of up to 145% on Chinese imports, prompting China to retaliate with its own 125% tariffs on American goods. Additionally, the U.S. has slapped a 10% tax on imports from most other countries, while temporarily suspending higher rates for several nations for 90 days.
