Australian actor and former Mr Universe, Calum von Moger, has been seen walking unassisted after reportedly falling from a second-story window and suffering spinal injuries.

Von Moger, who is has been dubbed Arnold 2.0 and is best known for his portrayal of Arnold Schwarzenegger in the 2018 film Bigger, seriously injured his spine in the fall on May 4 and underwent a major operation.

The bodybuilder was seen on Thursday afternoon at his Mount Duneed home where the alleged fall took place, the Geelong Advertiser reported.

Steve Greenberg, a rep for von Moger’s management company, told news.com.au last week that von Moger was in a stable condition.

A friend told The Sun on Monday “Calum is awake and recovering in hospital after surgery, he is surrounded by family and friends who are supporting him through this”.

Von Moger has split his time between California and Australia but the friend said he returned home late last year.

News of his fall sparked well wishes from around Australia and generated headlines around the world.

Before von Moger was injured, he posted on social media saying “everyone has a past”.

“We’ve all been through hard times. I admit. I messed up bad many times,” he wrote.

“But I don’t care about dwelling on negative thoughts of the past. All I care about is that I learn from my mistakes and become a better person. I’m trying my hardest to stay strong but I have my days too.”

According to reports, von Moger was awaiting a court date on May 26 after being charged with criminal affray and drug possession and was on bail living with his brother.

On the day of his fall, May 4, nearby construction workers said they heard glass smashing, yelling and screaming before multiple police cars and ambulances arrived.

Police said they were called to the home in Geelong, southwest of Melbourne, amid reports of a man experiencing a mental health episode about 8am.

In 2019, von Moger released a documentary on Netflix titled Calum von Moger: Unbroken

in which he opens up about his bodybuilding journey, which ended with a serious knee and bicep injury he suffered while rappelling.

“I was pretty broken – pretty heartbroken,” he says in the film, adding that he lost his home to bushfires the same year, as reported by the Daily Mail.
