In a scenario that would seem a lot like method acting if it werenâ€™t so much to the detriment of the actor, Jeremy RennerÂ has broken both his arms while shootingÂ the comedyÂ Tag, which he’s been shooting alongside the in-productionÂ Avengers: Infinity War. As Renner gamely put it, â€œThatâ€™s how it goes. Thatâ€™s part of the job.â€Renner doesn’t seem to think the injury will get in the way of his work on AvengersÂ nor onÂ Tag.Â Despite this incident Renner told VarietyÂ that theÂ TagÂ roleÂ â€œisnâ€™t really requiring a lot of stunts.â€

Comic readers are well aware that Clint â€œHawkeyeâ€ Barton is a bit of a walking disaster. Thatâ€™s never had too much impact on Rennerâ€™s portrayal of the character in the past; given the rigorous workout schedule he swears by when filming both MCU flicks and Mission: Impossible movies, the guyâ€™s pretty sturdy. Heck, thereâ€™s an entire Tumblr dedicated to the glory of his arms.And thatâ€™s a good thing, given the extent of his injuries. Hereâ€™s the rundown: in the midst of performing a stunt (which Renner unsurprisingly did not describe in detail), the actor fractured his right elbow and left wrist, injuries thatâ€™d have anyone laid up for a bit. But that doesnâ€™t seem to affect Renner, since he doesnâ€™t â€œhave to beat a whole lot of people up or do anything crazyâ€ on Tag.Â (Sounds pretty par for the course for Renner.) He may not be able to tie his shoes, he says, but he can â€œkind of get by.â€[brightcove video_id=”5486462382001″ brightcove_account_id=”3653334524001″ brightcove_player_id=”rJs2ZD8x”]After Infinity War wraps, Renner is slated to star in another installment of the Bourne franchise, for which heâ€™ll likely be performing another battery of stunts. We wish Movie Hawkguy good luck, godspeed, and speedy healing for his own sake and the sake of virtually every action franchise in existence.
