David was seen spotted enjoying a run in Brentwood, California.

He wore a Adidas grey t-shirt and a pair of matching gym shorts with blue and grey trainers.

The movie star was seen working up a sweat during an early morning jog, before slowing down for a stroll.

David played the a 12-year-old Josh in the hit movie Big, which was released back in 1988.

After a wish turns a young Josh into a 30-year-old man (Tom Hanks), he heads to New York City and gets a job at MacMillen Toy Company.

A chance encounter with the owner (Robert Loggia) of the company leads to a promotion testing new toys.

Soon a fellow employee, Susan Lawrence (Elizabeth Perkins), takes a romantic interest in Josh.

However, the pressure of living as an adult begins to overwhelm him, and he longs to return to his simple, former life as a boy.

David previously opened up about his fond memories of working with Hollywood icon Tom.

“He’s not pretentious,” David told PEOPLE of Castaway star Tom.

“There’s no pretension about him at all. He would come to work in a backpack and take the subway.

“He was a big kid. He was super playful, [and] very fun.

“There was no treating me as a kid. He just treated himself as a kid.”

He added that Tom fully immersed himself in the role and took on the “quirky things about being a kid”.

David also landed the role of David Jacobs in the 1992 musical film Newsies, alongside Christian Bale.

While he also bagged the leading role opposite Jessica Alba in the film Honey.

Fans will also recognise David from TV series Zoe, Duncan, Jack and Jane, plus he also featured on series Seinfeld as Lomez Jr.

David, who married wife Karen Riotoc in 2014, will be back for their fifth series of Tastemade’s From Scratch, which returns to screen in April.

They will be visiting Kansas City, Denmark and Sweden to make meals from scratch while learning about “the planet’s complex and interconnected food supply”.
