LOADING ERROR LOADING Jeremy Renner is marking the one year anniversary of his near fatal snowplow accident by thanking his little girl for her support. On Monday, the “Avengers” star called his 10 year old daughter, Ava, “Reason number One” for his recovery after he was critically injured on New Year’s Day in 2023.

There is simply no better motivator to recover than to heal your family and friends.” He added: “Thank you all for your love and support this last full year.

“I have a giant family, I have a 10 year old daughter, [and] I would’ve disappointed and really messed up a lot of people’s lives if I would’ve passed. And so there’s a lot for me to get better for.” Renner went on to say that he “never thought about my own physical ailments, or my own pain, or my own anguish” because he had “so many things to fight for.” “Recovery was just a one way road in my mind,” he said.

“And my recovery became relief for me, because I know I could give relief to my family, my daughter and to all those that I really affected.” Support HuffPost The Stakes Have Never Been Higher At HuffPost, we believe that everyone needs high quality journalism, but we understand that not everyone can afford to pay for expensive news subscriptions.
