On Sunday, Jeremy Renner was seen walking upright for the first time since breaking more than 30 bones in a horrific snow plough accident in January.
The Marvel star, 52, took part in a physical therapy session towards the end of the weekend and was seen strolling on an anti-gravity treadmill.
Posting the clip on Instagram, Renner chatted away to an unnamed acquaintance and explained he was using ‘40 percent of his weight’.
He captioned his video: ‘I now have to find OTHER things to occupy my time so my body can recover from my will. #minduful #intended #recovery.’
In January, the actor was crushed by a six-tonne snowplough near his home by the Nevada-California state border in the US.
The actor has since undergone two surgeries – one to place metal pins around his legs and another operation on his chest – and has since been ‘moving himself around’ in a wheelchair.

Renner previously posted a video of himself rebuilding the strength of his leg by using an exercise bike.
He also revealed he is working on his mental recovery too by reading The Book Of Awakening: Having The Life You Want By Being Present In The Life You Have by Mark Nepo.
Renner’s friend Evangeline Lilly called his recovery 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.’
