This incident was unveiled in 2018 when Jeremy Renner spoke about the whole Tag incident in various interviews. The Bourne Legacy actor explained how a scene featuring a long 20 feet jump from a stack of chairs went terribly wrong and the chairs didn’t fall but he fell. This gave him one broken elbow as well as a broken wrist. But surprisingly, the actor didn’t feel anything initially and immediately went back to try the stunt once again before going to the hospital at lunch and coming to know about the critical injury he received.
“I got back and I did the stunt again. On lunch, I went to the hospital. They said ‘Yeah that’s broken’ and then I went back to work”
Further, he filmed several scenes with CGI prosthetics on her arms which were edited later during post-production. The actor was on a jampacked schedule at that time and didn’t get any moment to rest as a result of which, he had to continue with his commitments even after the injury. This also shows us a clear picture of Jeremy Renner’s strong willpower and dedication to acting.
