Happy Birthday to Thomas Shelby — the fearless mastermind of Peaky Blinders!

Born from the ashes of war and forged in the chaos of Birmingham’s streets, Thomas Shelby rose to become one of television’s most iconic figures. As the head of the Peaky Blinders, his brilliance, ambition, and unbreakable will turned a small-time gang into an unstoppable empire. With every calculated move, he commanded both loyalty and fear, his icy calm enough to silence even the most powerful of rooms.

But beneath the cold, calculating exterior lies a man of contradictions: a soldier scarred by the brutality of war, a visionary chasing power, and a brother who would sacrifice everything for family. Every decision he made — from the darkest to the most ambitious — was guided by his love for those closest to him, proving that no empire is built without sacrifices.

Cillian Murphy’s mesmerizing portrayal of Thomas Shelby has made him not just a character, but a symbol of resilience, pain, and unyielding determination. Tommy is the embodiment of strength, tempered by the scars of his past and driven by the relentless pursuit of control over a world that’s always trying to break him.

 Here’s to Tommy Shelby, OBE — may his legend continue to burn as fiercely as the fire that built his empire. And may the Peaky Blinders’ reign never fade.
