The Peaky Blinders actor Paul Anderson has been fined for possession of drugs, including crack cocaine, after being found with that and other substances on Boxing Day.
Anderson, who plays Arthur Shelby in the programme – the hell-raising brother who resorts to drug use – was reportedly said by his lawyer to sometimes slip into character to please fans who recognise him.
The 48-year-old appeared at Highbury Corner magistrates court on Thursday, accused of possessing class A crack cocaine, as well as class B amphetamines and two class C prescription substances. He pleaded guilty to all four charges and was fined a total of £1,345.
According to a report, Anderson spoke only to enter his pleas and to confirm his identity and address in north-west London.
