April 30 (UPI) — Marvel actor Jeremy Renner<\/a> says writing his book, My Next Breath, was “healing” for himself and his family after the snowplow accident that nearly killed him.<\/p>\n

Renner, 54, opened up about the 2023 incident<\/a> and the recovery that followed Tuesday on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n

“I was walking again. I was doing doing good. I was feeling pretty good. Then the idea of writing the book came around and I was like, ‘Oh, God, I got to relive this thing. Like word by word.'” he told Fallon. “It was quite the struggle….To relive it, to recount it, to own it in a different way word by word was quite healing for me.”<\/p>\n

“I learned a lot in writing it,” he added. “It was healing<\/a> in a lot of different ways, and look, we know how this thing ends. We know how the movie ends — I’m here. Right?”<\/p>\n

The book also became a means of providing closure for his family, including his nephew, who was present at the time of the accident.<\/p>\n

The title My Next Breath references how labored each next breath was after Renner was crushed by the snowcat, breaking some 38 bones<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Following the incident, Renner said that he doesn’t have stress or bad days.<\/p>\n

“You don’t have to get run over by a snowcat to do that — that’s why I started to write the book,” he said. “…I think there are ways to have that perspective — there are a few things that we do have control of in life, for all of us, is our perspective, and that is about it.”<\/p>\n

While he was on Tonight, Renner introduced his emotional support animal<\/a>, his dog Hershey.<\/p>\n

“This is my dude! My dog!” Renner said.<\/p>\n

“I mean, he looks pretty anxious himself,” Fallon responded.<\/p>\n

Fallon then brought out an “emotional support animal” for Hershey — a rabbit named Lady Fluffernutter. The bunny was followed by the pig Petunia and the parrot Ping-Pong.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

My Next Breath arrived Tuesday.<\/p>\n
