A Peaky Blinders star has debut a whole new look leaving fans worried about the chances of him appearing in the new film.
The hit BBC series is set to be transformed into a movie for streaming giant Netflix. Actor Paul Anderson, who is best known for playing Arthur Shelby in the series, has transformed his style by going platinum blond. He showed off his new haircut to his followers on social media and now looks a far cry away from the iconic shaved sides and long on top style his character had become known for.
The Shelby brothers’ distinct look inspired many men to replicate when it came to their own hairstyles. However, it seems Paul is moving away from the Peaky Blinders look as he opted to have bleach blonde locks instead. Alongside the photo, the actor wrote: “New chop…. Front cover ‘game’ COME ON!!”
His new look left some fans concerned whether he will be taking part in the new movie. One said: “You better be in it boy!!! I will not be watching if not!!!” Another added: “I hope we see bro in upcoming movie.” Someone else wrote: “Be in the movie bro.” A fourth declared: “Can’t wait to see you in the new film! #arthurshelby.”

Filming is currently taking place and will star Oscar winner Cillian Murphy as he returns as Tommy Shelby. The film’s cast includes Murphy, as well as Dune’s stellar Rebecca Ferguson, Barry Keoghan fresh from Saltburn, and the legendary Tim Roth of Pulp Fiction fame. It is set to air in 2026.
Paul raised concern among fans earlier this year when he was spotted looking under the weather a number of times. It came after he pleaded guilty to charges after he was found to have the Class A drug, crack cocaine, Class B amphetamines and two Class C prescription substances in his possession. In June, the actor told his followers he has put all that behind him and spoke openly about his problems.
He told fans: “Dissatisfaction with ones talent is the fundamental quality of a true artist. That is a statement from a writer called Chekhov. So if you are having self doubt, well welcome to the club, because I can’t act. And every time I do, I wait for a tap on the shoulder saying, ‘sorry son, you are in the wrong game, go home’.
“Every true artist feels the same, so what that tells me is you know what you are doing. Look it up, Anton Chekhov. I used to remember it word for word because it rang out when I read it, because I too felt like I didn’t know what I was doing. I struggled with self confidence, and insecurity and self-doubt. Those are the fundamental qualities of every true talent. If you think you are great, then you are wrong, you are disillusioned. Let other people tell you are, then maybe one day you’ll believe it yourself.”
The actor’s defence lawyer claimed he couldn’t resist acting like his gangster character who fans will know takes drugs on the BBC show. In mitigation, his lawyer reportedly told the court: “You will recognise the defendant from a very intense part that he has played in a recent television programme. He is often recognised and does his best to please fans of the show by slipping into character. He was recognised that Boxing Day and tried to play up for these people. And because of the lifestyle he leads people often give him inducements.”
