“After my accident, Marvel offered me to return… but with a salary cut in half. ”
January 1, 2023 my life changed completely. I was in Nevada helping my nephew move a vehicle stuck in the snow when a six-plus-ton snow plow lost control. I stepped in to protect it and got trapped under the machine. The impact has left me with over 30 broken bones, a collapsed lung and multiple surgeries ahead.
I spent months between hospitals, constant pain and rehab sessions. I was slowly regaining strength and mobility, until I thought I was ready to go back to work. At that time, Marvel called me to reprise my character, but with a very different proposal: I was offered only half of what I earned before.I felt like they were diminishing my value, like after the accident I wasn’t the same. And I decided to decline the offer, not because of pride, but because I learned my true worth.
Today I remain focused on my recovery and my family. I’ve returned to acting, albeit at my own pace, and most importantly, I’m still standing.
Jeremy Renner himself narrated it.
