Jeremy Renner was spotted walking upright for the first time since fracturing more than 30 bones in a catastrophic snow plough accident in January on Sunday.
The Marvel star, 52, was photographed strolling on an anti-gravity treadmill at the end of the weekend during a physical therapy session.
Renner posted the video on Instagram, where he talked with an unnamed acquaintance and said that he was utilising “40% of his weight.”
‘I now have to find OTHER things to spend my time so my body can recuperate from my will,’ he captioned his video. #minduful #intentional #recovery’
The actor was crushed by a six-tonne snowplough near his house on the Nevada-California state line in the United States in January.
Since then, the actor has undergone two operations, one to insert metal pins around his legs and another on his chest, and has been’moving himself around’ in a wheelchair.
Renner earlier released a video of himself riding an exercise bike to recover the muscle in his leg.
He also mentioned that he is working on his mental rehabilitation by reading Mark Nepo’s The Book Of Awakening: Having The Life You Want By Being Present In The Life You Have.
Evangeline Lilly, Renner’s friend, described his recovery as a “straight up miracle.”
She told US outlet Access Hollywood: ‘I walked in his house and got chicken skin, because I was like, “Why are you mobile? Why are you mobile? What’s happening?”
‘I expected to sit at his bedside and hold his hand while he moaned and groaned in pain and wasn’t able to move. He was wheeling himself around, laughing with his friends. It’s a miracle, a straight-up miracle.
‘He’s made of something really tough, that guy. You’ve always been able to see that in him. He is recovering incredibly, and I’m so grateful.’
