Jeremy Renner Shares Selfie From Hospital Bed; Marvel Co-Stars Send Their Love And Prayers

Jeremy Renner thanked fans for their "kind words" in his first social media post since his snowplow accident on New Year's Day.

The "Hawkeye" star took to Instagram Tuesday evening to share a photo of his badly bruised and scratched up face from his hospital bed and give fans an update about his condition after he underwent two surgeries.

The 51-year-old actor could be seen wearing a breathing tube and hospital gown in the selfie taken from the intensive care unit.

"Thank you all for your kind words. Im (sic) too messed up now to type. But I send love to you all," he wrote Tuesday.

His fans and Marvel co-workers took to the comments section of the post to send him their love and prayers and wish him a speedy recovery.

"Sending all of our love, brother, and hopes for a speedy recovery," the Russo brothers commented.

"Speedy recovery buddy. Sending love your way!" "Thor" star Chris Hemsworth wrote.

"Tough as nails. Love you, buddy," "Captain America" actor Chris Evans wrote with a red heart emoji.

"Love you mate. Sending you love and healing," said Paul Bettany, who played Vision in "Avengers."

"Continued prayers your way, brutha," Chris Pratt wrote. "My brother, I love you," Taika Waititi added. "Get well soon Big Man!" Tony Dalton commented.

Many celebrities also left warm messages in the comments section to let Renner know that they have been thinking and praying for him.

"Sending so much love and healing!" Vanessa Hudgens commented.

"Speedy recovery," Heidi Klum wrote with a red heart emoji.

Renner's spokesperson said the actor was recovering Tuesday after undergoing surgery for the extensive injuries he suffered after the heavy machinery rolled over him near his Nevada property Sunday morning.

Renner suffered "blunt chest trauma and orthopedic injuries," his spokesperson said.

"Jeremy is making positive progress and is awake, talking and in good spirits," Samantha Mast, Renner's publicist, said in a statement obtained by CNN Tuesday. "He remains in ICU in critical but stable condition. He is overwhelmed by the showing of love and support. The family asks for your continued thoughts while he heals with his close loved ones."

Renner was moving snow from a private driveway that day so that his family members could depart his residence after they celebrated the holidays together, his representative added. Members of Renner's family were with him when the accident occurred.

An unnamed source told CNN's entertainment reporter Chloe Melas that the "Avengers: Endgame" star was "lucky to even be alive" after sustaining extensive injuries from the accident.
