'Peaky Blinders' Season 5 preview: Hollywood sweetheart Sam Claflin to enter world of blood and violence

Sam Claflin plays mostly lovable boy next door but now the actor is about to venture on some strange tracks.

Sam Claflin has had quite a peculiar reputation for the longest time. With his charming features, well-articulated verses, and roles which have typecaste him as the British Prince, the actor is tired of being the chocolate boy of Hollywood.

Fortunately, his frustration with the kind of roles he is getting, is about to come to an end as he is set to join the star-studded cast of BBC One's 'Peaky Blinders'.

Created by Steven Knight, this periodical drama is about to enter its fifth season of street gangs, the jazzed-up-'20s, and of course, our beloved Shelby, and let's just say Claflin is about to have the ride of a lifetime with the show.
