Brooke Shields is learning to walk again after breaking her leg

Brooke shared a video of herself on crutches slowly walking down a hospital corridor alongside the caption: “Broke my femur. Beginning to mend. No matter what your challenge is, make a positive choice, for yourself, to move forward. #BeginningisNow (sic)"

And in the video, the 'Blue Lagoon' actress - who has daughters, Rowan, 17 and Grier, 14, with husband Chris Henchy - explained how she can't put a lot of weight on her leg.

She said: "There’s only 20 per cent weight… The goal is to bend your knee each time like a little bit, just so you’re not dragging it or hitching up your hip.”

Sharon Stone was quick to comment and offer help to her friend.

She wrote: "Oh c*** honey I’m so sorry let me know how you’re doing R u home out west I can bring food (sic)"

Helena Christensen suggested she had already been to visit the actress.

She commented: "So glad I got to see you baby you looked so well and beautiful and I know this is a tough one [three heart emojis] (sic)"

Glenn Close also sent her love.

She posted: "Brooke! So sorry! Courage...it's in your blood. Sending love (sic)"

During coronavirus lockdown, Brooke shared workout videos on Instagram, which she explained she hoped make fitness "accessible" for her fans.

She previously said: "My Instagram workouts were never meant to be a stressor. They're just accessible, and a way to have movement and endorphins. It's funny to do arm presses with two bottles of wines. We don't all have our fancy gyms at the moment but I can guarantee, if you do something for five minutes, it will be a positive."
