According to the actor, although his survival was seen as a miracle, he didn’t immediately feel grateful about being revived.
“It’s a great relief, is all I can say,” Renner shared as he reflected on being unconscious.
“It’s a wonderful relief to be removed from your body.”
He went on to describe the feeling in deep detail, saying, “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… 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.”

The actor shared that while he was unconscious, time felt like nothing. But once he came back, reality hit hard.
“I came back and I saw the eyeball again. I’m like, oh, s**t. 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.”
The experience, though painful, became a turning point in his life.
