Diet Comments Off on The Real-Life Diet of Jeremy Renner, Who Says Pain Is Just a Construct of the Brain – GQ

Since at least 2008's The Hurt Locker, Jeremy Renner has been celebrated for physical, in-your-face action-movie acting. He's an Avenger. He ran from zombies in 28 Weeks Later. He did turns in the Bourne and Mission: Impossible franchises.

But Renner doesn't remotely mince words about how he's been moving since early 2023, when he was crushed by a snow plow at his home in Nevada. Multiple surgeries followed, a significant amount of metal is now bracing his body, and the recovery is ongoing. During his rehab work, he has turned outward, sharing on his Instagram account. It was these postsand the footwear in themthat caught the attention of the hardcore running brand Brooks, and Renner is now is a face for the company.

He caught up with GQ about running, stretching, and the other ways that he's taking care of his body.

For Real-Life Diet, GQ talks to athletes, celebrities, and other high performers about their diet, exercise routines, and pursuit of wellness. Keep in mind that what works for them might not necessarily be healthy for you.

GQ: Longtime fans of your work associate you with muscular roles: the Bournes, the Avengers, the Mission: Impossibles. But with this Brooks partnershipa hardcore running brandweve got to ask, are you a runner now?

Jeremy Renner: Newly. (Laughs.) Ive never been a hardcore runner, in the sense of distance. Im mostly a sprinter, a short-distance guy. Like, a mile. But its the movement, for me, the agility. Its important to move for the strengthening of my tendons in my ankles, all my joints. To me, its part of what my life is. Its that idea that I need to be able to move and get out and do stuff.

Judging from the Brooks video, it seems like hill sprints are a huge part of it.

Yeah, Im more of a hill sprint guy. Its easier on my joints, with gravity not smashing down. If anybody has a bum knee, you know what Im talking about. I have six joints all relearning how to move. So running uphill has been the better thing for me.

How did the partnership come about?

It was pretty natural. I was sharing some progress reports of my recovery. People were finding it helpful, and I also found it helpful to share. Brooks reached out, and they thought their shoes might help. So they sent me a pair of the Ghost Max. I had them around a while, walking around the house, but one day, after I started training, I put them on and ran up and down my driveway. That was the first time Id tried to run since the accident. I thought, wow, this isnt so bad. I posted that, and from there, the partnership started to form. Its such a natural meeting. It feels like Ive got a lot of supportemotionally and on my joints. (Laughs.)
