Marvel star Jeremy Renner said that after his brief brush with death in 2023, he admitted that he did not want to come back. According to a Variety article, Renner wrote in his memoir “My Next Breath” that he experienced what he believes was his death. He expounded about it when he joined Kelly Ripa’s podcast “Let’s Talk Off Camera.”
“It’s a wonderful, wonderful relief to be removed from your body,” Renner said. “It is the most exhilarating peace you could ever feel. You don’t see anything but what’s in your mind’s eye. Like, you’re the atoms of who you are, the DNA, your spirit. It’s the highest adrenaline rush, but the peace that comes with it… it’s magnificent. It’s so magical.”
