On Wednesday, Paul Anderson, known for his role as Arthur Shelby in Peaky Blinders, appeared quite different from his on-screen persona as he headed out on a London excursion. A month prior, Anderson had confessed to being in possession of crack cocaine.

On Boxing Day, Paul - who played Arthur in the popular BBC show - was discovered by police in possession of a pipe commonly used to smoke Class A drugs. He was in the company of a friend and an infant at the time of the incident.

The people who created The Peaky Blinders, a TV show that stars Cillian Murphy as the character Tommy, are making a long movie to finish the story. However, the recent guilty verdict could change the movie a lot, according to a source.

The author of the script, Steven Knight, is currently working on it, according to a source. However, the recent conviction of a key character poses significant issues. It will be a challenge to create a Peaky Blinders movie without this character's influence, and it will be equally challenging to seamlessly integrate them back into the role after the incident.

The third alternative could be to call off the whole thing. I believe that it is probable that it will proceed, and only Steven is aware of which characters will be included.

Anderson got busted following a patron at his nearby watering hole in Hampstead, situated in the north west section of London, notified the establishment's supervisor that they detected a scent of crack cocaine emanating from the public restroom used by individuals with disabilities after the entertainer made his exit.

Authorities arrived at the scene to witness Anderson with a young man and a 17-month-old baby. Following his arrest, Anderson was brought to the police station where officers discovered various drugs, including crack cocaine, amphetamines, diazepam, and pregabalin.
