Who’s not crying? Such a powerful @ABCNetwork interview by Diane Sawyer on Jeremy Renner’s phenom journey back to wellness. He shows her his Avengers neck tattoo and tells her “Suffering feeds the seeds of what love is.” 💘💘💘#JeremyRenner #DianeSawyer #Hawkeye pic.twitter.com/vh7vNRT9AM

I think the snapshot we were given of #JeremyRenner in the #ABC interview doesn’t begin to show what kind of man he is. Sacrificing his safety/life for his nephew, giving selflessly of his time and finances for others are just the tip of the iceberg! All I can say is WOW! #HERO

I’m so glad we didn’t know the extent of #JeremyRenner’s injuries until he was safely healing. I can’t fathom how he’s alive, but I sure am glad he is. We love you too, Jeremy! pic.twitter.com/tpOfmUmxFD
