Jeremy Renner grew up in a family with four younger siblings in Modesto, California, where his parents operated a bowling alley. He entered the world of acting almost at random and soon in one of the debut roles, as the psychopath and cannibal Jeffrey Dahmer in “Dahmer”, in 2002 and stood out and was called for a film that would earn him an Oscar nomination. .
“It was pure luck. It started in college. I took an acting class as an elective and that’s how everything changed for me,” he explained in an interview with Vanity Fair about his early acting career.
At the age of 20, at the beginning of his acting career, Renner was also a makeup artist for eight years.
The lead in “Dahmer” would give the actor the spotlight in Hollywood. In September 2022, Netflix released “Dahmer: An American Cannibal”, created by Ryan Murphy (“Glee”, “American Horror Story” and “Ratched”), miniseries about the American serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer . He is accused of killing 17 men between 1978 and 1991. The production was an absolute success in 2022 with critics and audience.
“This film means a lot to me. It was good for me, in the sense that people in the industry saw and noticed me,” he said in the interview.
His performance as serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer was the reason director Kathryn Bigelow cast him in the lead role of 2008’s Hurt Locker.
The film was nominated for nine Oscars, including best actor for Renner, for playing a sergeant assigned to the bomb squad in the Iraq war. In the end, “Hurry Hurt” won six Oscars, including best picture and best director for Bigelow, making her the first woman to win in that category.
In 2011, Renner would appear for the first time in two successful Hollywood franchises: the Marvel saga and “Mission: Impossible”.
The first “Thor” movie introduced “Hawkeye” to the Marvel world, to later place him alongside the other superheroes, in 2012, in the movie “The Avengers”. Renner also appeared in two “Mission: Impossible” films alongside Tom Cruise and other characters from the franchise.
In 2021, Renner led two new projects. In one of them he acted once again as “Hawk Archer”, in the series of the same name, centered on Clint Barton and his new apprentice, Kate Bishop. And he’s also on season two of “Mayor of Kingstown,” where the powerful McLusky family tackles issues of systemic racism, corruption and inequality, which premieres Jan. 15.
Accident
Renner andis recovering from surgery after suffering “blunt trauma to the chest and orthopedic injuries” caused by a snow accident on New Year’s Day in Nevada, a spokesperson for the actor said.
On Monday night (2), Renner was in the intensive care unit (ICU) in “critical but stable condition”, said the representative.
The 51-year-old actor has already had two surgeries to treat injuries sustained in the accident, a source close to Renner told CNN .
Renner was found injured and taken to an area hospital.
Renner’s family released a statement Monday night thanking hospital staff and first responders while the actor remained hospitalized.
“Jeremy’s family would like to express their gratitude to the incredible doctors and nurses who care for him, Truckee Meadows Fire and Rescue, Washoe County Sheriff, Reno City Mayor Hillary Schieve and the Carano and Murdock families,” said a statement from his spokesperson. .
“They are also tremendously impressed and grateful for the outpouring of love and support from their fans.”
