Troubled Peaky Blinders star Paul Anderson reflects on his struggles with insecurity and self-doubt - after worried friends claimed the actor was on a 'downward spiral'


The Peaky Blinders star, 46, who recently hinted he could be starring in the upcoming movie, took to social media on Wednesday and opened up to his followers.

Paul would no doubt play a pivotal role in the Peaky Blinders film if involved, but his drug conviction in January and allegations of bad behaviour on set could threaten his participation. The South Londoner, who is nicknamed Boycie like the wheeler dealer friend of Del Boy from Only Fools and Horses, had been making ends meet on the very edge of the law when he got his break around 15 years ago. In January it emerged that Paul was arrested after a drinker at his local in Hampstead told the pub's manager he there was a smell of drug fumes coming from the disabled toilet after the actor walked out on Boxing Day.
