"Feel better Jerry," joked Paul Rudd in a faux Cameo he sent to Jeremy Renner.
Jeremy Renner was on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" Monday night, where he shared a hilarious story about how his Marvel co-star Paul Rudd cheered him up following his snowplow accident.
Renner, who was hospitalized following the terrifying ordeal back in January, has been met with a ton of support from his fans and co-stars alike, especially from his "Avengers" family.
"So Rudd, who I love so much — he happened to be in town as well promoting his movie and he came by a couple times to the hospital, always just makin' my day 'cause he's one of the funniest guys around, right, Paul Rudd? And then he sent me a video message," the "Hawkeye" star shared with host Jimmy Kimmel.

Renner, 52, went on to reveal that Rudd even sent him a video shot to look like a Cameo, which is a type of message fans can request their favorite celebrities to record for themselves or loved ones by paying a one-time fee.
"I didn't even ask him to. He made a fake one like I paid him money for a Cameo," continued Renner. Kimmel then shared Rudd's video with the studio audience and those watching at home, in which Rudd acts like Renner is nothing more than a fan.
"Hey Jerry, I heard you were a little banged up — got into a fight with a snow blower, apparently?" joked the "Ant-Man" actor. "Anyway, I just wanted to send this video."
"It's really from the heart, and I hope you're feeling better. It sounds like you are. Apparently, you're a pretty tough guy," continued Rudd. "So maybe I'll get to meet you one day, and wouldn't that be something?"
"In the meantime, take care, and take it easy for a while. And next time, maybe just let the snow melt. Feel better, Jerry," he concluded.

Jeremy Renner Reveals Last Words in Note to Family, How Anthony Mackie Supported Him
View StoryRudd isn't the only one of his co-stars to share his support. Both Evangeline Lilly and Anthony Mackie -- who were his costars in "The Hurt Locker" before joining the MCU alongside him -- visited Renner during his recovery.
Renner also told Kimmel about how lucky he is that the situation wasn't worse.
"It's like a giant metal-like cookie roller, right? And it just missed every vertebra, did not hit any organs, membrane did not swell," he told Kimmel. "My eye did pop out, that's weird. But I got pretty lucky that none of the organs got messed up."
