Tom cut a stylish figure in a navy top, complete with a dark denim jacket and trousers. 

Despite the intervals of rainy weathers, the Cast Away actor made the most of the sunshine in a pair of shades. 

The movie icon, who has been married to Rita Wilson since 1988, looked in great spirits as he made his way to an awaiting vehicle. 

Tom was in an equally fantastic mood as he attended the European premiere of Toy Story 4 in London on Sunday afternoon.

He spoke exclusively to MailOnline on the red carpet about the series' new addition, Keanu Reeves – confessing that while he thought his casting as Duke Caboom was 'the greatest idea ever' he never actually got a change to hang out with him due to the 'lonely filming process.'

Tom said: 'We never get to see each other when he make these movies.

'The first time I was told Keanu was going to be in it, I was told there was this new character called Duke Caboom and I just thought 'That's the greatest idea I've ever heard'.' 

He went on to reveal the film's actors 'don't meet each other until the movie comes out', and admitted voice acting can be 'a very lonely process'.

Tom said: 'It's a very lonely process. The recording process takes about five hours because you have to get to these emotional places on microphone.

'Then when that's done you stumble out of the session the next person coming into the session might be Tony Hale or Tim Allen and you have about five minutes of 'How's it going?'

'But you don't really get to see what they've done until the movie is finished.'

The film - which will be released in the UK and US on June 21 - stars the voices of Tim Allen as Buzz Lightyear and Christina Hendricks as Gabby Gabby, as well as Joan Cusack, Jordan Peele, Keegan-Michael Key, and the late Don Rickles.

When Andy (Jack McGraw), all grown-up and going to college, handed his toys to a little girl named Bonnie (Madeleine McGraw) in Toy Story 3, it was deemed the perfect end to the series, which kicked off in 1995, followed by films in 1999 and 2010. 

The new film picks up where the last one left off, with Woody, Buzz and their old friends in the hands of Bonnie. But there's a new toy to contend with, Forky (Tony Hale), a 'spork' made by Bonnie with pipe cleaners for arms. 

Upcoming: Toy Story 4 will be released in the UK and US on June 21
