Peaky Blinders star Paul Anderson showed off his new hairstyle on Tuesday as filming on Immortal Man continues.
The 42-year-old actor, known for playing Arthur Shelby Jr in the series, ditched his usual look in favor of a platinum blonde style.
Earlier this year, he raised fears about his future as an actor after a drug conviction in January and allegations of bad behavior on set threatened his involvement.
The hugely popular BBC crime drama, set in Birmingham during the city’s industrial revolution of the early 20th century, ended its six series in 2022.
The upcoming film, titled The Immortal Man, has been filming on Dudley Canals this week, with Cillian Murphy seen on set as criminal kingpin Tommy Shelby.
Meanwhile, Paul seemed far from character as he shared his transformation on Instagram.

Hinting at a possible new photoshoot, he captioned the post: ‘New cut…. Cover “game” LET’S GO!!’
The next Peaky Blinders film, titled The Immortal Man, will also feature newcomers Tim Roth, Rebecca Ferguson and Barry Keoghan.
In June it was confirmed that the original writing and directing team would return alongside Cillian for a Netflix film adaptation of the hit series.
The streaming service confirmed the news on X with a photo of the script, while the Oscar-winning actor told Deadline: “Looks like Tommy Shelby wasn’t done with me…
‘It is very gratifying to collaborate again with Steven Knight and Tom Harper on the film version of Peaky Blinders. “This one is for the fans.”
Director Tom shared: “When I first directed Peaky Blinders over 10 years ago, we didn’t know what the series would become, but we did know there was something about the alchemy of the casting and writing that seemed explosive.
“Peaky has always been a story about family, so it’s incredibly exciting to reunite with Steve and Cillian to bring the film to audiences around the world on Netflix.”
Peaky Blinders was released in 2013 and gained a huge audience both in Britain and abroad, attracting roles for big screen stars such as Tom Hardy and Anya Taylor-Joy.

The upcoming film, titled The Immortal Man, has been filming on Dudley Canals this week, with Cillian Murphy seen on set as criminal kingpin Tommy Shelby (Cillian and show creator Steven Knight pictured recently).
The show is loosely based on a real Birmingham gang of the same name that operated from the 1880s to the 1920s and engaged in similar illegal activities.
Peaky Blinders aired six series over nine years and ended with Tommy, who had been tricked into believing he was terminally ill, surviving a murder attempt orchestrated by his own nephew before killing him and moving on to a new life.
But the news raises concerns for the well-being of Paul Anderson, who plays Cillian’s older brother Arthur on the show, after he pleaded guilty to crack cocaine possession earlier this year.
The actor was also found to be using amphetamines, as well as diazepam and pregabalin.
