Peaky Blinders star looks worlds away from TV character on day out in London after admitting to crack cocaine possession

PEAKY Blinders star Paul Anderson looked far removed from his sharp-suited BBC character on a rainy day in London.

The actor, 48, wrapped up in a chunky cream fleece and leopard print hoody as he grabbed a pastry from a bakery.

The Arthur Shelby actor was most recently seen in the promotional video for Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk's blockbuster undisputed boxing showdown.

The elaborate video, narrated by Anderson, saw him appear as a barber in the Wild West, giving Fury a shave before the two fighters faced off outdoors.

Drug offences

Anderson's food dash in the capital also comes after he pleaded guilty to crack cocaine and amphetamines possession after a boozy Boxing Day session in Camden, London.

He was fined £1,345 last month after appearing at Highbury Corner magistrates court.

Cops were called out to a pub at around 6.30pm on December 26.

The actor, who features alongside Cillian Murphy in the popular BBC drama, admitted to possessing the Class A drug, as well as class B amphetamines and two class C prescription substances.

A spokesperson from the Met Police said: "Police were called at about 18:30hrs on 26 December 2023 to West End Lane in Camden.

"Officers attended and arrested a man.

"Paul Anderson, 48, of West Hampstead, was later charged with two counts of possession of Class A drugs and two counts of possession of Class C drugs.

"He appeared at Highbury Corner Magistrates’ Court on Thursday 25 January."
