Jeremy Renner shares positive update post-accidentDisney+

Marvel actor Jeremy Renner has shared a positive update in his recovery following his nasty snowplough accident at the start of the year.

Renner suffered major blood loss following his accident, as well as blunt chest trauma and thirty broken bones, and was hospitalised for weeks. He's been noted as making great strides in his recovery already, and has shared a video of himself up and walking.

On his Instagram Stories, the Hawkeye actor shared a clip of himself walking on an anti-gravity treadmill. As you can see in the video, his lower half is encased in a see-through 'bubble', which means his body feels a lot less weight and therefore makes it easier to walk.

He notes in the video that it essentially functions like a high-tech cane, taking the pressure off his body and allowing him to get his steps in. "Now is the time for my body to rest and recover from my will," his caption reads.

Renner is approaching the whole situation with good humour, posting last week how happy he was to be reunited with the snowplough that ran him over.

Meanwhile, the actor's newest Disney+ series Rennervations is set to drop in just over two weeks. It's a documentary series that sees him and a team of experts take old and rundown government vehicles and give them a new lease of life, helping those who need them.

"I’ve been on this journey for many years, and I started in my community by building vehicles for people in need," he said in a press release.

"But a few years ago, I thought, how can I plus this up and create a bigger impact on a whole community — and that’s what this show does. This is one of my biggest passions and it’s a driving force in my recovery, and I can’t wait for the world to see it."
