PEAKY Blinders star Paul Anderson appeared to be in good health when he was seen out and about in Essex, following a missed opportunity for a role in the upcoming film and an arrest for drug possession.

The 47-year-old actor, known for his role as Thomas Shelby in the acclaimed drama, has faced challenges over the past few years; however, it seems that things are starting to improve for him.

The star, who portrays Thomas Shelby's older brother, previously caused concern among fans after being photographed in a disheveled state.

However, he now appears to have turned things around and is looking much healthier.

Paul, who was not included in the Peaky Blinders movie, was photographed making a personal appearance at a clothing store.

At one point, he was dressed in a suit with a black t-shirt underneath.

After finishing up with fans, he changed into a smart sweater and jeans.

Paul’s hair looked styled, and he sported a stylish pair of sunglasses.

The actor, who has appeared alongside in all six seasons of the hit crime drama, also appeared to be in good spirits as he enjoyed a cigarette outside the shop.

The recent photos are a stark contrast to how he looked last year when he raised fans' concerns.

Images from last February showed him in a troubling state, which left many worried.

In the summer of 2024, Paul spoke candidly about his “struggles” in a video clip.

He stated: “Just like you, search within yourself, find your strength, and overcome the challenges and pain you are experiencing. Because there is no story without struggle.”

The star, who has previously discussed his battles with self-doubt, continued: “Take it from me, I have struggled, and I still struggle today, just like you do, and we manage it.”

“If I can assist you in facing your struggles, then let’s embark on this journey together. This can be the first of many conversations because you can’t do it alone; you need support.”

“And let me emphasize one more thing: you can help others, and in turn, it will help you.”
