Paul Anderson says Peaky Blinders co-stars are helping him battle personal struggles

Paul Anderson, best known for playing Arthur Shelby in the popular crime drama Peaky Blinders, has opened up about the personal challenges he has faced in recent years and how support from friends in the industry has helped him cope.

The actor revealed he has been dealing with difficult moments in his personal life following a drug-related arrest that made headlines and affected both his career and relationships.

According to reports, the incident also contributed to the breakdown of his relationship with his fiancée not long after the couple welcomed their child.

Despite the setbacks, Anderson said several close friends from the entertainment world have been helping him navigate the tough period. Among those offering support are fellow actors Tom Hardy and Stephen Graham, along with Hollywood star Leonardo DiCaprio.

The actor admitted that he continues to wrestle with personal struggles but said those experiences have also shaped his work as a performer. Anderson explained that the emotional challenges he has faced often become something he channels into his acting.

Reports also indicate that Anderson will not appear in the upcoming Peaky Blinders film starring Cillian Murphy, though the actor is still working on rebuilding his career after the difficult period.

He is expected to appear next in the historical drama series The Gray House, marking what many hope will be a fresh chapter for the actor following a turbulent few years.
