It’s trick-or-treat time and honestly, we’re not sure which one Jeremy Renner chose. The MCU star and musician took to Instagram to show off his Halloween costume this year, dressed as a giant sloth with his daughter in the background of the video. Renner has said despite the costume being “ridiculous”, he’s very happy to be alive this Halloween, ten months after a near-fatal snowplow accident nearly took his life. His choices seem a little out of left field here, but if he’s taking life one sloth costume at a time, who are we to judge?
Jeremy Renner Introduces the World to “DJ Sloth” Costume
It’s not a stretch to say that Jeremy Renner, 52, did not start 2023 in a good place. The Hawkeye actor was involved in a snowplow accident on New Year’s Day at his property in Reno. The accident resulted in 30 broken bones and a long road to recovery, including multiple surgeries. In the months following the accident, Renner has spoken about his new outlook on life many times, stating that he’s aware of how lucky he is to be here still.
During his recovery, Renner has largely stepped back from his major acting roles to film a few documentary series. In addition, he’s fallen back on his background in music recording and production. Renner’s newest album, Love and Titanium, was inspired by milestones in his recovery process, according to an Instagram post.
In more positive news, Jeremy Renner seems to be happy and seemingly healthy for Halloween as he takes to Instagram dressed like a giant sloth—or, “D-D-D-DJ Sloth!” according to his story. The actor is, indeed, dressed in a full-body sloth Halloween costume, complete with claws and a furry headpiece. It’s a little ridiculous, and Renner admits as much, but it’s hard to judge him for being a little silly for Halloween after the year he’s had. His daughter Ava Berlin, 10, also makes a brief appearance in the back of the video, though she doesn’t share her thoughts on her dad’s furry getup.
