Jeremy Renner is marking a very special occasion: his “ReBirthday.”
That’s how the Avengers star referred to the anniversary of his New Year’s Day 2023 snowplow accident as he reflected on the gruesome incident on social media.
“I send out my love, respect and gratitude for the army of people that it took to put me back together again,” he wrote on Instagram Jan. 1 alongside a photo of himself in his hospital bed surrounded by medical staff and loved ones. “Thank you to each and every nurse, doctor, first responder… I literally owe you my life.”
The 2023 accident occurred after Jeremy—who turns 54 Jan. 7—towed a truck that was stuck in the snow on his driveway using a PistenBully snow groomer, according to an incident report from the Nevada sheriff's office obtained by E! News at the time. When the machine began to slide, he exited the snowplow and was pulled under while attempting to stop it from hitting his nephew, Alexander Fries, per the report.
“All my heart goes out to my beautiful, brave nephew,” Jeremy continued in his post, “and the angels (my neighbors) who jumped to my aid and endured the chaos for 45 long minutes on the icy asphalt New Years morning.”
The Mayor of Kingstown actor added that he felt “f--king BLESSED to take my next step” after enduring the life-threatening ordeal as he reflected on others who helped his recovery, including his fans.

“My gratitude list is very long,” he went on. “With the amount of love and prayers that flooded in from you all around the world (needing each and everyone of them), my family never leaving my side, with some divine intervention, a bit of luck and a whole lot of miracles… I stand strong again.”
Jeremy previously looked back on his progress during an appearance at the People’s Choice Awards in February 2024.
“I gotta say, it feels good to be back,” he said as he presented the first award of the night. “This year's been a heck of a journey, and I'm happy to be here with you, the fans. You guys are the best.”
