'Peaky Blinders' actor works in cafe as he has "to pay rent"

Actor Harry Kirton, who plays a pivotal role in the popular series "Peaky Blinders", is doing a part-time job in a cafe.

In an interview with metro.co.uk, Harry opened up about his decision to work in a vegan cafe.

"I still do part-time work, you know, I like to keep in sync with the world that we live in because acting is a very... you know, you're pretending a lot and your headspace is in this area and that. At the end of the day we've all got to pay rent and we've all got to do real things," Harry said.

"I have a lot of passions that aren't just acting. I like to write, I'm vegan, I'm working at a vegan cafe because I love what they're doing. I want to eat good food, and I want to talk to people," he added.

Harry feels motivated working at a cafe.

"The best source for an actor is just humans, just people going about their day and the best source of information is somewhere like that, ‘When people come in and out it makes me learn even more than sitting at home going 'oh, what do I do for the day?!'. ‘Get off your a**e, make some money, be productive, sort of thing'," he said.
