Jeremy Renner is working his way up to a picture of perfect health following his traumatic snowplow accident earlier this year.
The 52-year-old actor - who is best known for his roles as Marvel superhero Hawkeye - was rushed to hospital on New Year's Day while attempting to stop his seven-ton snow plow from hitting his nephew, while the pair cleared the roads around his home in Nevada.
As reported by CNN, the sheriff's office stated: "When Renner attempted to stop or divert the Pistenbully (snowplow) to avoid injury to [his nephew], he was pulled under the vehicle by the track and run over. The Pistenbully rolled over him and continued down the road."
Fans were left concerned for the Hawkeye star as he was reported to be in a "critical but stable" condition following the accident on New Year's Day, with the actor later revealing that he had broken more than 30 bones in his body, had a collapsed lung, and had his liver punctured by a broken rib.
A few weeks following the accident, Renner took to his Instagram account to update his fans and followers on his condition. "Morning workouts, resolutions all changed this particular new years …. Spawned from tragedy for my entire family, and quickly focused into uniting actionable love [...]," he wrote.
"I want to thank EVERYONE for their messages and thoughtfulness for my family and I …. Much love and appreciation to you all. These 30 plus broken bones will mend , grow stronger, just like the love and bond with family and friends deepens. Love and blessings to you all," Renner's caption concluded.
Renner has continued to make a miraculous recovery from his near-death incident, being papped by TMZ heading into Jimmy Kimmel's studio with the assistance of a cane.
The outlet also reported that the actor took his family to Six Flags on Good Friday (April 7), where he was spotted using a motorized scooter to get around the amusement park. The father-of-one has previously opened up about using an anti-gravity treadmill to strengthen his legs and get his muscles working normally again.
On Thursday (April 6), Renner's interview with Diane Sawyer was released, where he recounted the lead up to his traumatic accident. Several teaser clips were released in the weeks before the interview's release, where Renner told Sawyer he would do it all again to save his nephew, who would have been crushed by the snowplow if Renner had not jumped in front of him.
"I would do it again. It was coming right at my nephew. I would do it again," he said.
