The showbiz world was rocked earlier this year when it was announced Jeremy Renner had been involved in a life-threatening snowplough incident. 

The 52-year-old actor – who has starred in Hollywood blockbusters such as Arrival, The Hurt Locker, The Bourne Legacy and Marvel’s Avengers movies – broke more than 30 bones when he attempted to stop the vehicle from running over his nephew on New Year’s Day.

Thankfully, Renner pulled through the traumatic incident – and has now told his heroic story in an interview with US broadcast journalist Diane Sawyer.

But while the exclusive chat will air on ABC in the US, here’s how to watch it in the UK.

In the clip from the programme, Renner says that despite his extensive injuries, he “would do it again, because it was going right at my nephew”.

He tells Diane: “I chose to survive – it’s not going to kill me, no way.”
