Jeremy Renner recently recounted a deeply touching memory involving his daughter, Eva, during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live. The 54-year-old actor shared how a school essay written by Eva became a poignant reminder of a significant milestone in his arduous healing journey.
Eva’s essay focused on a moment of pride for her: when Renner picked her up from school after his near-fatal snowplow accident.
“It sounds like nothing, but when it’s post the accident, you know. I wanted to create something really special for her, a milestone in my recovery,” Renner told guest host Jelly Roll. He revealed the immense effort involved, stating, “It took me about an hour and a half to get into the car. I’m literally bumbling down the steps and everything.”
The Avengers star emphasized the personal significance of that day. “It was something I needed to do. I needed to get out of the house. I needed to show her that I was actually really recovering in a really big way,” he explained.
He concluded by highlighting the mutual impact of the event: “And her writing that essay is just a reminder that it was just as important to me [as] it was to her [in] showing her that her dad’s getting better. And, it’s because of her that I am better.”
