Chris Evans has sent some birthday love to Jeremy Renner, who is currently in hospital after a snow plough accident.
Marvel actor Jeremy celebrated turning 52 years of age while under the care of ICU staff after the incident last week, which left him ‘completely crushed’ by a 14,000-pound snowplough.
He has since suffered extensive facial bruising, with his 911 report, obtained by TMZ, revealing that he had been bleeding heavily from his head.
However, the Hawkeye star is on the mend and has been sharing updates on social media with his fans, giving everyone reassurance when he posted a selfie from his hospital bed.
And while his 52nd birthday hasn’t been the party he might have hoped for, his famous pals are still keen to wish him well.
Chris, 41, shared a sweet snap to his Instagram Story of himself and Jeremy on a red carpet, all smiles.
