Jeremy Renner has said he wrote notes on his phone that were to be his last words after his Jan. 1 snowplow accident that left him in the hospital.
Speaking with Diane Sawyer for an upcoming edition of “ABC News”, Renner says he would have died after being crushed by a snowplow if his nephew hadn’t been there.
"If I was there, on my own, that would've been a horrible way to die," Renner told the host. "And surely, I would've. Surely. But I wasn't alone — [I was with] my nephew. Sweet Alex. And the rest of the calvary came."
When Sawyer brought up the goodbye notes he had put down, the actor started to tear up.
