Jeremy Renner is celebrating his birthday in hospital this year as he continues to recover from a horror snow plough accident.
The Hawkeye star, who turned 52 on Saturday, spent his big day in an ICU unit, but still made sure to thank people for their birthday tributes.
Jeremy's Avengers co-star Chris Evans took to Instagram to share a special message for his friend.
Posting a black and white picture of the two of them laughing, 41-year-old Chris wrote: "Happy birthday to one of the toughest guys I know! Sending so much love your way."
Jeremy also reposted a video on social media from youth organisation The Base Chicago, who he volunteers with, after they recorded a video for him.
In the clip, the children can be seen holding signs that spell out Jeremy's name as they dance along to 50 Cent’s In Da Club.
"Sending a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY! to @jeremyrenner. Have a great day. Sending our love #thebaseway," the post was captioned.
In the comments, Jeremy replied: "I love you all sooooo much !!!! Thank you. You’ve made my spirits sing!!!!"
The actor's fans have also taken to Twitter to share their birthday messages and wish him a speedy recovery.
"Happy birthday @JeremyRenner prayers to a speedy recovery man. Stay strong," one person wrote. Another said: "Speedy recovery and happy birthday, Jeremy. Hawkeye or not, you're our hero."
A third fan tweeted: "Happy Birthday, Jeremy Renner! Hope you're better and better every day."
"Happy Birthday @JeremyRenner. Sending love and prayers and all the positive vibes in the world to you," penned another.
Jeremy had earlier thanked the staff at his intensive care unit for looking after him.
The Marvel star shared a picture of himself in hospital on Friday as he posed next to staff and members of his family.
"Thank you Renowned Medical ICU team for beginning this journey," he wrote in the caption.
Jeremy was airlifted to hospital following the serious incident at the weekend.
Local police said that the actor was helping a family member free a car from heavy snow, when he was accidentally run over by his own six-tonne ploughing machine.
A 911 call, obtained by TMZ, indicated that Jeremy's chest collapsed and his upper torso crushed as he also experienced heavy bleeding from his head.
