Sir David Jason has shown fans he's fighting fit again in a hilarious video clip.
The iconic star made his first public appearance in true comedy style after revealing to his fans in August that he needed to undergo major hip surgery. The funny clip video posted on the Only Fools and Horses news X feed, sees Sir David using crutches to get down his driveway before throwing them away.
To the Rocky theme tune, the beloved actor mimics Sylvester Stallone's famous character, flexing his muscles and starts shadow boxing, throwing a few jabs. It's the first time he has been spotted since being forced to postpone an Only Fools and Horses convention.

The 83-year-old actor told fans in August that he needed to have a "bionic body part fitted". Apologising for the change in schedule, he wrote on Facebook: "I am so very sorry for the disappointment and all the inconvenience it may cause but we are having to change the date of the forthcoming Only Fools and Horses Convention.
"Unfortunately I have just been advised I need a new bionic body part fitted. I won't tell you which part it is, or you will all want one! And don't worry it's not being supplied by Monkey Harris, it'll be the pukka gear.
"I really hope everyone will be able to make the new date January 13th and 14th. We can all have something cushty to look forward to!" he continued.
David, who played Derick "Del Boy" Trotter in the iconic sitcom from 1981 to 2003, where in one unforgettable comedy scene he falls through an open bar, looked back to his best and stronger than ever in the new video update, pleasing fans. One fan reacted to the video update: "Legend! Long live David Jason," while another said: "Lovely jubbly, he can knock, knock, knock out now!"
A third added: "Recovering well. What a legend!!" The much loved star has struggled with his health after a "seriously bad" battle with Covid in July 2022.
The viral infection left him so frail he suffered a fall at his home in Buckinghamshire due to a condition called Myalgia caused by Covid.
