Actor Jeremy Renner has posted a video of himself walking for the first time since his snowplough accident in January.
In a short film posted on Sunday on social media, Renner is seen walking on an “anti-gravity treadmill”. On Instagram Renner captioned the sequence: “Now is the time for my body to rest and recover from my will”; while on Twitter he wrote: “I now have to find OTHER things to occupy my time so my body can recover from my will.”

Renner was seriously injured on New Year’s Day in Reno, Nevada, after being run over by a snowplough he had been using. A report from the Nevada sheriff’s office said that he had been trying to protect his nephew after the snowplough slid towards him and Renner “was pulled under the vehicle by the track and run over”.
Renner, who plays Hawkeye in the Marvel franchise and is currently starring in the streaming series Mayor of Kingstown, suffered blunt chest trauma and required two operations, according to a statement by his publicist, and was discharged from hospital on 16 January. Renner later revealed on social media that he broke more than 30 bones in the accident.
