Paul, who plays Tommy Shelby’s brother in the hit series, was reportedly caught after another bar patron smelled a ‘chemical smell’. According to the indictment, the Peaky Blinderslegend caught with crack, cocaine, amphetamines, diazepam and pregabalin.
“Police were called to West End Lane in Camden at around 6.30pm on December 26, 2023,” a police spokesperson said. “Officers attended the scene and arrested a man from West Hampstead. This man was later charged with possession of class A drugs and possession of class C drugs. He appeared in court at Highbury Corner Magistrates on Thursday, January 25.”
The actor pleaded guilty, but wanted to make it clear through his lawyer that he is not a user. His lawyer said in court that he is “often recognized” and “does his best to please fans of the show by stepping into his role.” That writes MailOnline. “Because of the lifestyle he leads, people often offer him temptations. He was in an unfortunate position and should have had the strength to say no.” The actor, who also starred alongside Tom Hardy in the biopic Legendwas fined 1,577 euros.
According to a source from MailOnline the conviction would cause ‘major problems’ for the planned one Peaky Blindersfilm, which is currently being written by Steven Knight. Although Arthur Shelby is an “essential character,” it will be difficult to reprise that role. One option would be to cancel the entire project, the source said.
