Troubled Peaky Blinders star Paul Anderson counts cash in the street as he runs errands on an e-bike after missing out on Netflix movie

Troubled Peaky Blinders star Paul Anderson was seen running errands in London on Saturday as he counted cash on an e-bike.

The actor, 48, was dressed in a sage green bomber jacket with cropped trousers, orange socks, Vans trainers and sunglasses. 

He was seen clutching and counting a wad of cash while looping a Pret carrier bag through the arm of the electric bike.  

Paul hit headlines when he failed to reprise his role as Arthur Shelby Jr alongside Cillian Murphy in Netflix's movie Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man amid chaos in his personal life.

He was hit with drama on Boxing Day 2023 when he was caught with crack cocaine and amphetamines in a pub toilet, where customers described smelling drug fumes.

Shortly after he shared a video admitting he was struggling, saying: 'Just like you, search inside. Find it for yourself, overcome the struggles, the tribulations, the pain that you are feeling. There is no story without struggle...

'Take it from me: I have struggled and I struggle today, the same way you do. And we deal with it. If I can help you deal with your struggles, then let’s do this together...

'Let’s make this the first of many conversations as you can’t do it on your own. You need help. I will say this one more thing to you: you can help others and in turn it will help you. It is called service...

'So turn around, my friend – look for somebody else who is also suffering and, as hard as you may find it, help them. As you will find it helps you more, believe it or not. Remember this – we are amazing, you are unbelievable.'

He later pleaded guilty to crack cocaine and amphetamines possession in January 2024, and allegedly failed to attend a follow up meeting with a social worker to establish whether he was at risk of being a drug addict.

Court documents show that a drugs test in January 2024 found he had 'cocaine and opiates' in his blood.

'You failed to attend an initial assessment to establish whether you were dependant upon or had a propensity to misuse a Class A drug,' a court summons from January 2025 said.

An arrest warrant was issued at Highbury Corner magistrates' court – but it was withdrawn a few weeks after because the fallen star could not be traced.

As acting work has dried up amid his woes, and he missed out on filming the Peaky Blinders movie, Paul has been making money from £150 personalised Cameo messages and paid appearances at events.

Last year, he posed with a top of the range electric BMW motorcycle at the German motor company's flagship showroom on Park Lane.

But weeks later he was caught driving one without insurance in north London, not far from Hampstead, where he lived at the time.

On March 6, 2025, he was convicted at Bexley Magistrates Court. He failed to attend the hearing and will be sentenced at a later date.

The Daily Mail revealed that he was accused of failing to attend a drug rehabilitation meeting with a social worker after a drugs test taken last year because he was caught with crack cocaine in a pub toilet.

Paul has moved out of his £1.2million home near Hampstead Heath and the authorities have so-far been unable to find his current address, according to court documents.

Earlier this year, Scotland Yard confirmed that inquiries are ongoing. No arrest has been made.
