Smallville star Tom Welling makes first public appearance after shock DUI arrest

Tom Welling made his first public appearance since he was arrested for driving under the influence over a week ago.

The 47-year-old actor took the stage at MegaCon in Orlando, Florida on Saturday to participate in a Superman panel alongside actors who have also portrayed the superhero.

At the convention, he joined George Newbern, Tyler Hoechlin, Tim Daly, Bradon Routh and Dean Cain for The Many Faces of Superman: A tribute to the Man of Steel panel. 

For his public outing, Welling put on a casual display in an all-black ensemble teamed with a pair of colorful, low-top sneakers.

He appeared to be in high spirits as he stepped out in a black T-shirt paired with dark jeans and a plain baseball cap. 

This comes after the Smallville star was arrested in an Arby’s parking lot in northern California late last month.

He will join Michael Rosenbaum, who portrayed Lex Luthor, Kristin Kreuk (Lana Lang) and Erica Durance (Lois Lane) before reading iconic scenes from the series with Rosenbaum for Smallville Nights. 

In October of 2024, Welling admitted that he would be amenable to reprise his role at the Man of Steel in the future. 

‘You know, I think now because of the two boys that I have with my lovely wife … we have a bunch of costumes at home,’ Welling told Comicbookmovie.com. 

‘It started out at the first Halloween and now we have, I don’t know, 40 or 50 costumes,’ he continued. ‘The one costume we don’t have is the Superman costume.’ 

In his chat with the outlet, he recalled: ‘I asked my son why and he said: “Because he’s taken.” 

‘And I said, “By who?” “By [you].” That was like, “All right, I think I’m open to the idea now.” 

‘So, if you know anybody, I think it would be great,’ he said about the possibility of reprising the role in a new project. ‘I think it would be fun to be a part of.’
