Jeremy Renner 'handcuffed to the bed' to stop hospital escapes
Jeremy Renner had to be "handcuffed to the bed" to stop him trying to leave hospital after his snowplough accident. The Hawkeye staff suffered over 30 broken bones, a lacerated liver and a collapsed lung in January 2023 when he was run over by his snowplough, and he has candidly admitted he was probably "the worst patient ever" because of his determination to go home, despite his poor physical condition. Asked about why he described himself as a difficult patient in his memoir My Next Breath, Jeremy told Jimmy Kimmel Live! guest host Jelly Roll: "Oh, yeah - that's because I kept wanting to break out of the hospital. " So these poor nurses, you can imagine, I'm kind of high on whatever they're feeding me. "I got tubes and epidurals and nine things stuck in me - I'm dragging the machines in the bed. I'm walking on broken legs. I never even made it to the door but once, but they handcuffed me to the bed because I was such a pain in the butt." When he did make it home from hospital, the 54-year-old actor suffered from hallucinations because of the strong painkillers he was taking, with him having "a conversation with a curtain" on one occasion and even having an entire imaginary outing with fellow actor Jamie Foxx. Jeremy said: "That was at home, and ... yeah. You know, as one might do, that's when you know you're not feeling any pain. "I was talking to objects and Jamie Foxx. "You guys know Jamie Foxx. He was there in my room. Jamie Foxx was there; he was in my room, then we got up and we went snowmobiling. All that happened in my mind. It didn't happen. "It's good drugs - good drugs." The Hurt Locker actor previously credited sheer willpower for helping him pull through after his accident. He told The Guardian newspaper: "I was bullying my body into thinking it wasn't that bad and my mind was overcoming the greatest odds it's ever come up against. My mind was saying, 'Nah!', it's part stubbornness. 'I don't want to lose this battle, this game', but the deeper part, the zoomed-out part, is I had so much to live for. I had a bunch of people waiting for me to go skiing! "I didn't want to let them down. That became such a big thing." Jeremy was unable to walk for two months after the accident but revealed that he only has a small number of scars as a result of the surgery he had. He said: " I have a bunch of little scars, but only from the surgery to save my body. The whole leg is titanium from the knee down to the ankle." The Tag actor explained that his mouth continues to be in considerable pain. He said: "My mouth is complete chaos. "It looks fine, but when I bite down it feels as if I'm going to break all my teeth."

'Touch and go': Barack and Michelle Obama finally address persistent divorce rumours during podcast appearance
Barack Obama and wife Michelle have finally addressed ongoing rumours about the pair heading for divorce during an appearance on the 61-year-old former first lady's podcast. Speculation about the Obamas' marriage has been a constant since the former president's reign as US Commander-in-Chief. Photos snapped of the then-president laughing and taking selfies with Danish prime minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt at the memorial service for Nelson Mandela while Michelle looked on with an unimpressed expression, took the internet by storm, sparking accusations of infidelity. More recently, the 63-year-old was accused of having an affair with Friends star Jennifer Aniston in a story published in a gossip magazine. The rumours gained such traction that Aniston had to publicly shut them down, saying it was "absolutely untrue" during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! in October last year. The Obamas sat down on the latest episode of Michelle's podcast IMO, that she hosts alongside her brother Craig Robinson, where they shut down the divorce rumours in jest. 'He made time in his busy schedule to come on. We are honoured,' Michelle told listeners before Robinson, chimed in jokingly, 'Wait, you guys like each other?' Barack then joked Michelle "took me back". "It was touch and go for a while," he said. When Robinson said it was nice to see the couple in the same room, Michelle also played into the suggestions the pair were headed for divorce due to the fact they had not been seen in the same room together often in recent years. "I know because when we aren't, folks think we're divorced," she said. On a serious note, Michelle insisted she had never considered walking away from her husband during their more than three-decade-long marriage. 'There hasn't been one moment in our marriage where I have thought about quitting my man,' Michelle insisted on the show. 'We've had some really hard times and we've had a lot of fun times, a lot of adventures and I've become a better person because of the man I'm married to.' The former president became visibly emotional, responding: "Okay, don't make me cry now right at the beginning of the show". "Don't let me start tearing up now," he said. Barack said he had been unaware of the divorce speculation until someone would mention it to him. 'These are the kinds of things I just miss,' he said. 'I don't even know this stuff is going on and then somebody will mention it to me, and I'm like, 'What are you talking about?'' The Obamas are approaching their 33rd anniversary in October, after getting married in 1992.
