The actor - who is best known for portraying Hawkeye in Marvel’s Avenger films - spent weeks in intensive care and broke more than 30 bones in his body after a snow plough accident on New Years Eve. Renner was airlifted to hospital and has since been recovering at his home in Sierra Nevada.

In a separate Instagram story, Renner shared a picture of himself by the fire reading The Book Of Awakening: Having The Life You Want By Being Present In The Life You Have, by Mark Nepo. He captioned the photo - "mental recovery too".

When the incident occurred, the 52-year-old’s spokesperson told US media that he was airlifted to hospital and was receiving ‘excellent treatment’ with his family by his side.
