In January 2023, Jeremy Renner was admitted to the hospital and was kept in the ICU observation after a snowplot accident. The Avengers actor was severely injured, and many were worried about his health. It took weeks for Renner to recover, and he received immense love from his friends, colleagues, and fans. Robert Downey Jr was one such person who made sure to check up on him often.
In Marvel movies, Jeremy Renner and Robert Downey Jr might not share screenspace together anymore, but their bond is beyond their work. In an interview, Jeremy revealed that he and Downey would have lots of chats while he was recovering last year.
Jeremy Renner told People, “We ended up having really great chats on FaceTime like we were dating or something. He’s like, ‘Dude, the most important thing is you look good. I don’t care how you feel; as long as you look good, that’s all that matters.”
The Avengers: Endgame actor added that Robert Downey Jr would tell him that he must get back and work on his series Mayor of Kingstown as everyone needs to see what happens. Renner calls RDJ’s ways “very heartwarming”.
In the same interview, Robert Downey Jr’s wife, Susan Downey, praised her husband. She said RDJ prefers quiet service and never boasts about helping others. Susan stated that he’s this way after everything he has gone through and because of the times when people stood by his side during his tough times.
Meanwhile, after getting three nominations, Robert Downey Jr finally won his first Oscar Award. The actor was nominated in the Academy’s Best Supporting Actor Category for his performance as Lewis Strauss in Christoper Nolan’s Oppenheimer. The film also won an Oscar for the Best Picture Award.
On the other hand, Jeremy Renner was last seen in the Disney+ show, Rennervations. The actor shot for the series before the snow plow incident.
