Jeremy Renner and his daughter Ava are one dynamic duo!

The Avengers star, 52, had his 10-year-old daughter join him to judge UCLA's Spring Sing 2023 on Friday evening. The competition showcases UCLA's most talented students performing song, dance and sketch comedy.

While being escorted by a Student Alumni Association member, Renner joined hands with Ava and waved to the crowd, before he then held a cane he has been using as he recovers from his January snowplow accident up victoriously. When the pair sat at the judges' table, Renner gave his preteen a high five.

At one point during the event, the actor said he was "happy to be here," noting, "I'm on a date right now with my daughter."

"This is awesome," he continued. "I couldn't be happier to sit and watch these [performances]. It takes a lot of courage to get up on the stage and do this, and I commend everyone that's come out here and done this."
