Liev Schreiber steps out without his crutches after ‘undergoing knee surgery’

He has been seen using crutches after undergoing surgeries on his knee.

And Liev Schreiber appeared to be on the road to recovery as he stepped out without the walking aids for a stroll with girlfriend Taylor Neisen in Venice on Tuesday.

The actor, 53, who is filming Across The River And Into The Trees in Italy, cut a casual figure in a black tee, navy jacket and joggers as he chatted with his partner, 27.

The star took precautions amid the COVID-19 pandemic by wearing a blue face mask, which he pulled down to smoke a cigarette.

Taylor looked chic in a camel coat and black culottes as she strolled.

Her blonde tresses were styled in a bun and she also wore a face mask. 

Liev Schreiber reportedly had to have further surgery on his leg after injuring himself during a fight scene while he was filming for Across The River And Into The Trees.

The actor was pictured hobbling on crutches in Veneto on Monday as he headed to the doctors, where he is said to have undergone keyhole surgery before returning to Venice in the evening. 

The couple have been going strong ever since they started dating in 2017, following his divorce from Naomi Watts.   

The thespian was married to the actress, 52, for 11 years and the couple share two children Sasha, 13, and Kai, 11. 

Back in January, the actor told a fan on Twitter he had just had knee surgery and he is said to have aggravated the injury further after filming a fight scene last week.

MailOnline has contacted Liev’s representatives for comment.   

Liev has been busy shooting scenes for Across The River with his onscreen love interest Maltida De Angelis, who plays an 18-year-old Italian contessa called Renata, over the past few weeks. 

The actor plays US Army Col. Cantwell, a hero who faces news of his illness with stoic disregard. 

Set in WW2 he commandeers a military driver to facilitate a visit to some of his old haunts in Venice.  

As Cantwell’s plans begin to unravel, a chance encounter with a remarkable young woman begins to rekindle in him the hope of renewal 

Based on the last full-length novel by Ernest Hemingway, the movie captures a fleeting moment of immortality where time stands still.

Four years ago The Hollywood Reporter revealed that Pierce Brosnan would play the lead role with his GoldenEye director Martin Campbell at the helm.

However the current director is Spanish filmmaker Paula Ortiz and this September it emerged in Deadline that Liev is playing the colonel.
