"It's a great relief is all I can say," he said recently on the Let's Talk Off Camera podcast.

"It's a wonderful, wonderful relief to be removed from your body."

"It is the most exhilarating peace you could ever feel. It's the highest adrenaline rush, but the peace that comes with it, it's magnificent. It's so magical."

"And I didn't want to come back. I remember, and I was brought back and I was so p***ed off."

"I came back, I'm like, Aww!"He described the afterlife as a place of "pure knowing" where time doesn't exist.

"Time is a human construct... This is so remedial - language, all these things. It's all knowing, all experiencing, all at the same time, all at once," he said.

"It makes me - a man that didn't want to come back - really be able to be back here and live it on my terms as the captain of my own ship."

Fortunately, Renner went on to make a remarkable recovery from his injuries.

He now has a very different way of looking at life.

"I gave so much value to things that have zero value," he said. "So I invest into no stocks or bonds. I invest not into crypto or Bitcoin. I invest into love and my shared relationships that I experience love with. 'Cause that is the only thing that you take with you."
