Jeremy Renner revealed exactly what went through his head as he remained conscious after being run over by a snowplow on January 1, 2023.
Renner, 53, suffered traumatic injuries from the accident and spent most of that year recovering.
"It's like, you see your eye with your other eye because my eyeball was out," Renner said during an appearance on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon." "So you have weird things that go through your head like, ‘Well, I guess that’s real, but like I’ll worry about that later.'"
He added: "And I look at my legs. They were all twisted up, and I’ll worry about that later because I’ve got to worry about breathing first, right?"
JEREMY RENNER IS ‘KIND OF EXCITED’ FOR DEATH FOLLOWING SNOWPLOW INCIDENT
Renner could barely breathe because he had a "popped lung," but wasn't aware of the injury in the immediate aftermath of the accident.
"I had to exhale with all my might so I [could] suck air back in," Renner told Fallon. "Didn’t know I had a popped lung and all this other stuff going on. But I just had to breathe. If I didn’t breathe then I would have been gone, right?"
The accident served as a "great reminder of what we all should be looking at in life," Renner added.
"If we get too stressed or if things get too difficult or if it's insurmountable odds or whatever it might be. Just put one foot down and then put another foot down and then move towards it, right?"

Renner admitted he was "never afraid" of dying, but after the snowplow incident, he's now "kind of excited" for death.
"I was never afraid, mind you, of death prior. Now, I'm really not afraid of it. Now, I'm double downing. Yes, certainly not afraid of it," Renner said during an appearance on SiriusXM's "This Life of Mine with James Corden." "Now, I'm kind of excited for it. To be honest, it's what life really is. This rock that we're spinning on, and this body and this language that we're speaking and all these feelings and emotions and conflict is all horse s--t. It's meaningless in the scheme of things."
Renner explained to Corden that part of his recovery included titanium implants.
"It's 15, 20 percent of my body at this point, and it will be with me forever," he revealed. "It's like half of my ribs, right?"
