KUALA LUMPUR: Jeremy Renner felt "nervous" as he returned to acting a year after a near-fatal snowplough accident.
The 52-year-old actor was hospitalised on Jan 1, 2023, after suffering blunt chest trauma and 30 broken bones after being hit by a snowplough while saving his nephew, but he returned to the Mayor of Kingstown set on Wednesday and hoped he could "pull this off" for the fans.
He wrote on Instagram: "Day one on set, nervous today. Hope this works out, that I can actually pull this off for our production and more importantly the fans."
The official Mayor of Kingstown Instagram account commented on Renner's post: "It's going to be the best season yet."
Renner stars as the titular character, Mike McLusky, in the Paramount+ crime thriller.
Last week, the actor admitted that his daughter Ava, 10, was his "reason number one" for surviving his near-fatal accident.
"There is simply no better motivator to recover than your family and friends. With gratitude always, thank you all for your love and support this last full year. I needed every ounce of goodwill and prayer."
On New Year's Eve, he appeared on CNN and spoke to hosts Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen about his recovery, explaining: "I'm just so blessed that I have so many things to live for. I have a giant family, I have a 10-year-old daughter, so there's a lot for me to get better for."
