Google has released its much-anticipated annual list of the year’s top trending searches for 2023, and it has brought out some unexpected revelations, particularly in the realm of actors, as an Avengers star has taken the top spot as the most searched actor of 2023. While Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Hemsworth, popular for playing Iron Man and Thor in the MCU, failed to secure a spot even in the top echelons, their co-star Jeremy Renner has made a significant impact throughout the year.
The Avengers Star Jeremy Renner Stole the Spotlight
The Avengers star who has claimed the top spot in the most searched actors of 2023 has been revealed to be Jeremy Renner. Known for starring in the MCU as Hawkeye, the 52-year-old actor was caught in a serious incident on January 1, 2023.
The incident reportedly happened while he was trying to save his nephew and suffered blunt chest trauma and orthopedic injuries. The actor later revealed that he had broken 30-plus bones in the incident. He has been recovering from his injuries and has also been sharing updates with his fans.
The Hawkeye actor has also expressed gratitude for their love and support in such difficult times. Last month, he shared another update with his fans and followers with a clip of him skipping and stretching his legs. “Today marks the day on 10 months of recovery,” Renner said in the caption of the post.
He further shared that it’s his first attempt at any of these activities and was brought to “tears of joy, hopefulness, and gratitude” for the support of his fans, family, and friends. The incident is believed to be likely contributed to his heightened online presence.
