    Jeremy Renner has embraced the aches and pains he experiences since his near-fatal accident

    The 'Mayor of Kingstown' actor broke 38 bones in his body after being crushed by his snowplough in January 2023 and though he still experiences lingering discomfort, he doesn't mind because it is "awesome" just to be alive and have made significant strides in his recovery.


    He told People magazine: "My swollen ankles, my back that keeps going out or my jaw that just can't seem to bite down right, it's a great reminder of an attitude that got me to here in the first place.

    "It's awesome. This is why I can't have a bad day. I know what a bad day feels like."

    The 54-year-old star had his chest and leg reconstructed with titanium but airport staff know to turn off metal-detectors in his presence so as not to set off alarms when travelling through security.

    He said: "[They know to] switch the buttons on [the machines], so it doesn't go off like 4th of July. I'm not an airport person, but I don't seem to have too many problems.

    "They're pretty in on the joke [if the alarms go off] which is kind of nice."

    Jeremy doesn't always feel "secure" about running these days and was reminded of his "new reality" a few days ago on the set of 'Mayor of Kingstown'.

    He said: "Last night, it was dark, and I had to run up this driveway and I had dress shoes on and I'm like, 'Oh, I better put tennis shoes on because I don't feel that safe.'

    "And when you're running, you can't really see the ground and it's kind of a dangerous thing to do anyway when you're not that secure about running.

    "I'm a little inflamed [today] but it's like, 'Whatever, it's all good. We're fine. Easy enough.' I was [still] faster than the guys that didn't get run over!"

    The 'Hurt Locker' actor previously told of how he felt his skull crack as his snowplough mowed him down.

    He told Men's Health magazine: "(The Snowcat) undulates, because there's four sections of tires with these metal tracks - it pulls it like a tank. I remember every undulation.

    "I remember my head cracking on the thing and it just pressing on me - it's exactly like you think it would feel.

    "An immovable object and a crushing force, and something's gotta give."

    "But thank God my skull didn't fully give. And then it kept going. Undulate, undulate, undulate, undulate.

    "Cheekbone broke, eye socket broke, and then from the crushing of getting run over by the machine, my eye bulged out.

    "I could see my left eyeball with my right eyeball. I was screaming for a breath."
