Evangeline Lilly has worked with Jeremy Renner previously, in the 2008 film The Hurt Locker.
Jeremy Renner’s co-star Evangeline Lilly, in her recent interview, talked about the actor’s recovery and said ‘it is a miracle to see him wheeling around.’
Hollywood star Jeremy Renner suffered a major accident after he got embroiled in an incident while ploughing snow, in his home town Nevada. Last month, the actor had revealed that he broke around 30 bones in the accident after which he had to be airlifted to the hospital for treatment. Now Jeremy Renner’s Marvel co-star Evangeline Lilly, wh visited his home to check in on him, has shared an update about the actor’s condition.
In an interview with Access Hollywood, on Tuesday, Evangeline says, “I walked in his house and got chicken skin because I was like, ‘Why are you mobile? Why are you mobile? What’s happening?’ I expected to sit at his bedside and hold his hand, while he moaned and groaned in pain, and wasn’t able to move. He was wheeling himself around, laughing with his friends. It’s a miracle. It’s a straight-up miracle. He’s made of something really tough, that guy.”
“And, you know, you’ve always been able to see that in him and he is recovering incredible… I mean, he had a near-death experience that was highly traumatic, and he was awake for the whole thing. I’m still having moments where some of the stuff he told me that he experienced and retelling me the story of what went on and the things he could hear and the things that he could see… He’s recovered like a m**o.” she concluded.
Previously, Evangeline and Renner have worked together in the 2008 film The Hurt Locker, which won the Oscar for Best Picture and Best Director. Jeremy had also been nominated in the Best Actor category for his role as an army sergeant tasked with disarming bombs. Evangeline opened up about the experience of working with Jeremy in the film and how she was so impressed with his energy and verve.
Recently, Jeremy had posted on Instagram about his treatment in the hospital, where he underwent surgery for blunt chest trauma and orthopaedic injuries.
The actor took to Instagram on Monday to share an update on the show and wrote: “We are so very excited to share the Rennervations show with you all on Disney plus coming very soon!!! As soon as I’m back on my feet, we are coming to YOU , all across the globe… I hope you’re ready !!!” Rennervations is a four-part nonfiction series, which follows Jeremy Renner as he travels around the world to help others with the purpose of “reimagining unique purpose-built vehicles to meet a community’s needs.”
