Theo James looked casual while heading to a local gym in Venice Beach, California, on Wednesday.
The Gentlemen star, 39, showed off his gym-honed physique as he wore a gray t-shirt and matching shorts for the outing.
Theo, who also starred in the Divergent film series, carried a black bag and a bottle of water with him during the trip.
The High Wycombe-born star has been enjoying his time in the United States and was seen watching the Los Angeles Clippers take on the Dallas Mavericks last night.
Theo was courtside at Crypto.com Arena for the first round, game two of the 2024 NBA Playoffs, and turned heads in a FRAME jacket and Karhu running shoes.

The actor, of Greek descent through his businessman father, is one of at least twenty established names linked to the role of James Bond, vacant since Daniel Craig left the franchise in 2021.
Given the rumors, he said The Guardian: ‘Everyone is interested in (Bond) because he is a big part of British cultural identity, but that probably wouldn’t be me.
‘I think there are better people for that job. And honestly, it would be terrifying: if you do that, there’s no turning back. You’re opening Pandora’s box there.
‘You have to be willing to live a very different life and have a different life for your family. And that would be quite complicated. Plus, my classmates would make fun of me. Because they always say: “Bondopoulos, the Greek link.”
James is also ranked 18th in a recent Lottoland-commissioned poll of 2,000 British Bond fans.
Topping the list is Luther star Idris Elba, while Tom Hardy, Henry Cavill and Oscar-winning man with the golden gong, Cillian Murphy, also feature on the 20-person shortlist.
The long-running Bond franchise is famous for turning those who play the secret agent into global superstars.
And he has no qualms about hiring left field stars to take on the role; The late Sean Connery, one of the most recognizable Bonds, had only appeared in a series of television movies when he accepted the role of the titular British spy in 1962’s Dr. No, catapulting him to international fame.

Idris Elba tops a recent Lottoland-commissioned poll of 2,000 British Bond fans to name who they would most like to take on the next role.
But while Elba was the best choice, fans may end up disappointed after the actor ruled out playing the role last year so he could focus on his deal with Netflix, where he stars in Luther: The Fallen Sun.
The actor brought up persistent discussions about his takeover as Ian Fleming’s famous British spy in February 2023.
When asked about Luther’s film at the World Government Summit in Dubai, he said: “It’s very dark.
“We’ve been working on the TV show for about 10 years and so the natural ambition is to bring it to the big screen, and that’s why we’re here with the first film.
‘You know, a lot of people talk about another character that starts with J and ends with B, but I’m not going to be that guy.
‘I’m going to be John Luther. That is what I am.’
In August 2022, it was reported that Elba had abandoned “years of talks” with film bosses to take on the famous role.
He had been the betting houses’ favorite to replace Daniel Craig as the super spy, but he is interested in looking for other roles, and has even proposed to producer Barbara Broccoli a list of names of actors to play 007.
Daniel Craig played James Bond in five spy movie installments, starting with Casino Royale in 2006 and ending with No Time to Die in 2021.
A source said Sun: ‘The fans and Barbara loved Idris, but he wants to create something for himself.
“However, he has proposed names to play 007. He is ‘informally’ in the decision-making process as he has been in talks with producers for a long time.”
