The 39-year-old actor looked a little worse for wear as he sauntered around a shopping centre alongside a female companion.
The troubled star showed off his fuller shape in a fitted T-shirt and ripped jeans for the casual outing.
His dark locks fell around his face in a slightly dishevelled style, scraped back with the help of his mirrored shades.
After rocketing to fame for his role alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger in Terminator 2: Judgement Day, Edward enjoyed a prosperous movie career up until the early noughties

The former teen idol won a Saturn and MTV Movie Award for his breakthrough performance in the action flick back in 1991.
But the accolades didn't end there, as Edward went on to scoop an Independent Spirit Award the following year for his role as Nick Kelson in American Heart, which also starred legendary actor Jeff Bridges.
He received further acclaim for his roles in Pecker (1998), which also featured Christina Ricci, and American History X, co-starring Edward Norton.

Speaking about his battle with addiction to People back in 2006, Edwards confessed: "I was a heroin and cocaine addict. It was really scary."
He added: "I don't even think about [partying] anymore. It seems lonely now: running and clubbing and doing coke/ I have nightmares about doing hard drugs. I'll wake up and I'm like, 'Did I relapse?'"
The actor welcomed his first son with ex-wife Racheal Bella in April 2010, though the couple divorced in 2014, with Racheal citing "irreconcilable differences".
