While discussing his new Super Bowl commercial for Silk, Renner said, “I certainly got a lot of callousness squashed out of me by that machine. I’ve never been bitter, but always maybe a little more callous, a little bit more tough. And I just think those calluses are just scraped off me at this point. Literally, I feel pretty open and wonderfully sensitive and youthful.”

The actor further continued saying, “I’ve been blessed,” reports People.

Speaking about his recovery journey, Jeremy said, “Everything kind of just went right. Obviously I had a lot of tenacity, I had a lot of support, a lot of reason to recover. That is really special. There’s a lot of people that don’t have as much, (don’t have) those things to live for.” He further added, “It wasn’t about me getting better. It was about healing them. That’s how I got out of my own way… Geez, the love and support I got from people, man.”

The actor stated that he is grateful to have learned his limits, which were far greater than anyone ever expected. “I know how far I can go. That’s pretty useful information give you parameters of your life, and it’s pretty hopeful,” he says.

Jeremy is now back to walking again and he can also perform stunts.
