More details regarding Jeremy Renner’s feelings during his near-fatal snowplough incident have surfaced, including his out-of-body experience.
On New Year’s Day 2023, Jeremy Renner nearly lost his life in a potentially catastrophic accident outside his Lake Tahoe house.
As the Snowcat started to roll towards his cousin, who he thought may be crushed between the plough and a neighbouring truck, the movie star was with his nephew, Alexander Fries, who is 27 years old.
The actor tried to stop this by pressing the machine’s stop button, but he slipped and fell in front of it, getting hit and crushed by the seven-ton machine.
He makes the case that he actually “died” that day in front of his house and experienced a crazy, supernatural out-of-body experience in his recently released memoir, My Next Breath.
In the book, he stated, “I died, right there on the driveway to my house. Though I’d broken more than 30 bones and lost six quarts of blood (I’d find out the true extent of the injuries only later) an even greater danger to me as the minutes dragged by on the ice was hypothermia.”
“I know I died – in fact, I’m sure of it.”
He talked of a strange period of happiness, even though you would expect him to talk about the excruciating pain he was in.
The actor shared his experiences of what he felt in that moment, saying, “When I died, what I felt was energy, a constantly connected, beautiful and fantastic energy. There was no time, place, or space, and nothing to see, except a kind of electric, two-way vision made from strands of that inconceivable energy.”
Renner elaborated on his alleged “supernatural” experience when he “died” in an interview with Kelly Ripa on SiriusXM’s Let’s Talk Off Camera.
He also described how it was ultimately annoying to return to his body.
He said: “It’s a great relief is all I can say. It’s a wonderful relief to be removed from your body.”
“It is the most exhilarating peace you could ever feel. You don’t see anything but what’s in your mind’s eye. You’re the atoms of who you are. The DNA. Your spirit is… it’s the highest adrenaline rush. But the peace that comes with it, it’s magnificent. It’s so magical. And I didn’t want to come back. I remember, and I was brought back and I was so pissed off.”
“I was gone for, I think probably for, it doesn’t matter if it’s five minutes or two minutes or 10, but I came back and I saw the eyeball again.”
“I’m like, oh, s***. I’m back. Saw my legs. I’m like, ‘Yeah, that’s gonna hurt later.’ I’m like, all right, let me continue to breathe.”
