Look in the sky!
It’s a bird … it’s a plane … it’s former CW heartthrob Tom Welling!
Welling dominated the 2000s by starring as the Man of Steel in the hit series “Smallville.”
But since “Smallville” went off the air, Welling seemed to step out of the spotlight.
And 2025 started badly for Welling, as the former star got into some trouble with the law.
The incident occurred just after midnight on Sunday, January 26.
According toUSA Today, Welling was released the following morning.
He has an arraignment date scheduled for March 11, USA Today added.
His appearance was noted as short hair and a clear complexion with facial stubble.
The report noted the actor weighing in at 240 pounds.
And many took to social media to share their shock upon seeing Welling’s mugshot.
(And he’s not the onlycast member of “Smallville” that looks totally different today!)
One fan posted toX, “He aged … he used to be so handsome.
“Anotherposted their stunned response, saying, “That’s Tom Welling?
Damn he aged a lot.”
Oneusershowed their love by saying Welling was “still my Superman.”
Some wanted to express their disappointment with Welling and wished for him to find healing in the future.
“Hope he recovers and learns from his mistake.
Nobody is perfect and thank God no one was hurt,” one user wrote onX.
Is his marriage in trouble?
Just hours prior to his arrest, Welling posted a tribute onInstagramin celebration of his wife’s birthday.
We love you to the moon and back!”
But it’s doubtful she was smiling when her husband was busted not even one day later.
This comes two months after the couple celebrated their fifth wedding anniversary.
The couple began dating in 2014 before tying the knot on November 30, 2019.
According toUs Weekly, their wedding ceremony was held at Sunstone Vineyards & Winery in San Ynez, California.
He did join the cast of the show “Lucifer” in 2017 as Lt. Marcus Pierce/Cain.
However, the role only lasted for one season.
He was named executive producer on The CW series “Hellcats” that premiered in the fall of 2010.
Unfortunately, the series was canceled and only lasted for one season.
But as new shows were created, a new generation of actors was tasked with playing well known superheroes.
In 2019, Welling was given one more chance to play the iconic superhero.
