Taron Egerton braved the December chill on Tuesday as he took his pet dog for a walk in the winter sunshine.
The Welsh actor, 31, was seen with the pooch on the outskirts of the Glasgow-based film studios, where he is shooting his latest film, Tetris.
In it, Taron plays Dutch entrepreneur Henk Rogers, who went through a laborious legal battle over the rights to the addictive computer game from the 1980s.

Taron stepped out of character to walk his dog around the perimeter of the studios, with a companion.

Taron was seen getting into a car and heading off, presumably back to set.
He shared a sneak peek of his new role to Instagram last week.
Posting to the photo sharing site, he uploaded a shot of himself as Henk, in a shirt and tie, with a very 80s-style moustache.

‘Felt Sexy. Might delete later,’ he captioned this.
He sported the same look in another back-stage snap, also posted to Instagram, as he reclined in his trailer, kicking back with his beloved pet.
Taron often shares snaps with his dog, cuddling up to the sweet pooch.
The Tetris movie still remains partially un-cast, with the roles of real-life businessmen Robert and Kevin Maxwell and the game’s Russian creator Alexey Pajitnov yet to be filled. It is being directed by Jon S. Baird.

This comes after Netflix cancelled one of Taron’s other projects, fantasy series The Dark Crystal: Age Of Resistance, after a single season.
The series served as a prequel to Jim Henson’s 1982 fantasy film The Dark Crystal, which has become a cult classic among fantasy fans in recent years.
The streaming service and the Jim Henson Company CEO and Executive Producer Lisa Henson initially announced the information to io9.

Henson, the daughter of legendary Muppets creator Jim, issued a statement thanking fans for supporting the series and suggesting the company might pursue other ways to continue the story.
‘We can confirm that there will not be an additional season of The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance. We know fans are eager to learn how this chapter of The Dark Crystal saga concludes and we’ll look for ways to tell that story in the future,’ she wrote.
‘Our company has a legacy of creating rich and complex worlds that require technical innovation, artistic excellence, and masterful storytelling. Our history also includes productions that are enduring, often finding and growing their audience over time and proving again and again that fantasy and science fiction genres reflect eternal messages and truths that are always relevant,’ she continued.
Henson concluded her statement by thanking Netflix and noting that Age Of Resistance won the Emmy award for Outstanding Children’s Program at the 72nd Primetime Emmys.
Age Of Resistance debuted on Netflix in August 2019 with an impressive voice cast featuring Taron, Split’s Anya Taylor-Joy, Game Of Throne’s Nathalie Emmanuel, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Caitriona Balfe, Jason Isaacs and Mark Hamill, among many others.

The series also featured state-of-the-art puppetry that continued the Henson Company’s history of innovation in the art form.
Fans of the series will likely be disappointed in the surprise cancellation, as the first season ended on a cliffhanger.
Earlier this month, The Hollywood Reporter noted that Age Of Resistance was considered an ‘expensive disappointment’ by top executives at Netflix.
The films alleged lack of viewers and large productions costs were cited as potential reasons for the ouster of Netflix TV executive Cindy Holland, who had been with the streaming service for 20 years.
