The actor was airlifted to hospital last weekend with blunt chest trauma and orthopaedic injuries.

He had been trying to clear the snow that had fallen near his home to free a vehicle that was being driven by a family member, using his personal snowplough, a PistenBully weighing at least 14,330lb (6.5 tonnes).
Washoe County Sheriff Darin Balaam said in a press conference that Renner had successfully freed the vehicle and had exited the snowplough to talk to his relative, when the ‘extremely large’ piece of machinery began to roll.

Balaam said: “In an effort to stop the rolling PistenBully, Mr Renner attempts to get back into the driver’s seat of the PistenBully.
“Based on our investigation, it’s at this point that Mr Renner is run over by the PistenBully.”
TMZ has reported that one of Renner’s neighbours, who is a doctor, applied a tourniquet to his leg to stop blood loss.

The star had previously been sharing photos of the huge snowfall around his home in Lake Tahoe.
And Chris Evans, who plays Captain America, commented: “Tough as nails. Love you buddy.”

Paul Bettany wrote: “Love you mate. Sending you love and healing.”
Other celebrities including Isla Fisher, Penelope Cruz, Vanessa Hudgens, Jimmy Fallon and Taika Waititi have also publicly sent well-wishes to Renner.

Review | ‘This is a night to remember, Manchester’ – Jason Derulo’s Co-op Live debut
Amy Williams
Who’s ready for another throwback night? Because this was absolutely a night already full of nostalgia and one to remember.
American singer-songwriter Jason Derulo hit Co-op Live last night as part of his ‘The Last Dance World Tour’, famous for hit songs like ‘Whatcha Say’, ‘Talk Dirty’, and ‘Savage Love’ – we all remember the Covid TikTok dance, don’t we? – as well as many more.
With over 250 million singles sold and tens of billions of streams, you best believe his one night in Manchester was sold out.
Running through the big hits and everything in between, he and his dancers made it a proper party atmosphere on this fine Saturday evening.
He did his throwback songs and more; from the moment he said, “We’re throwing it back to the beginning, back to 2009″, we knew his first debut single, ‘Whatcha Say’, was about to grace our ears, and that it did.
He also brought back absolute classics like ‘Ridin’ Solo’ (I definitely lost my voice during this one) In My Head and It Girl.
The Last Dance run of shows has seen him visit places like Leeds, London, Glasgow and Birmingham, finishing his UK leg right here in Manchester, before he carries on to Europe, but we’re confident our date had the best crowd so far.
And just when you think this couldn’t get any better, he brought his little boy on stage to say hi to everyone, too – shattered everyone’s hearts.
He has that many hit songs, it wasn’t possible to get through them all, so his DJ halfway through did a mash-up of songs he’s also written and featured in, including ‘I Gotta Feeling’ by Black Eyed Peas, ‘Secret Love Song’ with Little Mix and ‘Replay’ by Iyaz.
We knew his voice was amazing – but can we have a moment for this man’s dance moves, keeping everyone on their feet at Co-op Live tonight, and his dancers made everyone want to start dance lessons tonight too, an absolutely incredible performance by all.
Jason Derulo told the audience, “This is a night to remember Manchester’, and that it absolutely was.
