Alfred Solomons: A Peaky Blinder You Don’t Want to Mess With

Alfie Solomons is a real person

If you’ve been watching season 3 of Peaky Blinders and wondering who on earth is Tom Hardy’s character, Alfie Solomons, look no further. Tom Hardy plays Alfie in a performance so stylish it can be hard to take your eyes off him for long enough to even ponder his name. However, there is one question everyone has had about him from day one: who exactly is he? Who was Alfie Solomons before he showed up in Birmingham with Arthur Shelby (Paul Anderson)? What we know about Alfred Alfie Solomons (Tom Hardy) by season 3 is that he’s a Jewish Birmingham gangster who became a big player in gambling and horse-racing during prohibition in England.

The razor gangs of London’s East End

Alfred Solomons was one of a number of criminals who went on to become local legends. The Guv’nor is still seen as one of Britain’s most notorious razor-gang leaders, but he also stood out for his intellect and respectability. In other words, don’t mess with him. (HBO)

Who played him in the BBC show?

Tom Hardy (yes, that Tom Hardy) did a fantastic job of bringing Alfie’s tough-guy attitude and slicked-back hair to life. While there’s no doubt that he was one of (if not THE) best things about series 1, you might also recognize him from another famous role…that of British gangster Charles Bronson in Nicolas Winding Refn’s critically acclaimed film Bronson. In fact, his performance in Bronson is widely considered by critics as some of his best work yet. After all, it isn’t every day you get to go toe-to-toe with Hollywood legends like Michael Fassbender and Peter Mullan – but he did just that.

How has he inspired other real life villains?

Alfred Alfie Solomons, played by Tom Hardy in Steven Knight’s gangster series Peaky Blinders, is a man who gives you one warning and lets you know that if you step out of line again there will be serious consequences. Alfie is a very short man with a smaller stature than many of his opponents, but not only does he make up for it with his skills as an ex-boxer, but also with his quick wit and sharp tongue. I am sure everyone remembers one scene in particular when Alfie is speaking with some Irish men whom he despises. Alfie then challenges them by saying D’you know what f**king annoys me about you Paddies?

What’s so special about his watch?

Alfred has a unique watch that he wears on his left wrist. It was given to him by Arthur Shelby, and we know that he had a similar watch that Thomas Shelby destroyed in Season 1 Episode 3. Why does Alfred wear two watches? One of them is meant for show and for protection – we’ve seen him use it as a weapon in several fights. The other one is special and sentimental, which tells us what he really values in life. What’s so important about family, then? If anyone should find out about Alfie’s past, what will he do? Does Alfred have plans for any of his family members? How will they react if they learn who their father is?

Where is he buried?

In real life, Alfie has a memorial plaque on it as well as a replica of his headstone, which reads: The King of Hoxton. It’s something people can visit and remember him by. The episode ends with Tommy proposing for Linda and him asking Michael to speak for him at his wedding. Michael laughs after Tommy asks him because he had already asked Tommy to do so earlier that day before he proposed.

His connection with notorious killer George Cornell

In an episode that aired on BBC 2 in early 2016, Alfie was seen to have been threatened by gangster George Cornell after he (Cornell) heard about Alfie taking away his (Cornell’s) young protégé, Danny Jones. The following morning, a posse of four men drove up to Dublin from Birmingham and shot Cornell dead as he stood at a chip shop window. Although all four were eventually arrested, it was generally thought that any one of them could have pulled the trigger. It was also established that at least two of them had been sent with specific instructions from someone who wasn’t content for Cornell just to be threatened; Cornell had to be killed before he became a danger again.

Does Tom Hardy like playing Alfie Solomons?

Tom Hardy seems really happy and excited to be playing Alfie Solomons. He’s even said that he doesn’t want to leave anytime soon. I don’t blame him; a character with his background, story and just being involved in one of my favorite shows? You would want it too! It must be pretty exciting for him, so I’m really looking forward to seeing what Tom Hardy has coming out next as Alfie Solomons. If he’s going to stick around as long as he wants, I hope they’re in a good place after season 3 and have enough money for more seasons because I think we’ll all miss him when it’s time for him to go. And I hope you guys are on board with me.
