In recent news, Hollywood actors Chris Hemsworth and Robert Downey Jr. are expressing their joy over the recovery of their fellow ‘Avengers’ co-star Jeremy Renner following a snow plow accident in 2023. Hemsworth and Downey Jr. revealed in a recent interview that they have maintained communication with the rest of the cast through a group text chain, where they first learned about Renner’s accident.
“He sent us all a sort of a doped out, hospital, beat-up image and said, ‘All good, guys.’ And then I didn’t hear from him for a while as he was in the thick of it,” shared Hemsworth in an interview with Vanity Fair, according to reports from deadline.com.
Renner’s remarkable recovery was celebrated last September when he attended Chris Evans’ wedding, where his resilience was commended by his colleagues.
“If there’s one characteristic we’d all agree is paramount… it’s resilience. To see Renner embody that literally and in the context of what was basically Portuguese-American wedding was mind-blowing. Fully recovered and ready to celebrate. So, yes, miracles happen,” remarked Downey Jr.
Reflecting on his own experiences, Hemsworth expressed regret over his performance in ‘Thor: Love and Thunder’.
“I got caught up in the improv and the wackiness, and I became a parody of myself. I didn’t stick the landing,” he confessed.
Highlighting a sense of self-doubt, he added, “Sometimes I felt like a security guard for the team. I would read everyone else’s lines, and go, ‘Oh, they got way cooler stuff. They’re having more fun.’ What’s my character doing? It was always about, ‘You’ve got the wig on. You’ve got the muscles. You’ve got the costume.'”
With humility, Hemsworth acknowledged his role in the ensemble cast, saying, “Where’s the lighting?’ Yeah, I’m part of this big thing, but I’m probably pretty replaceable.”
