Del Boy’s son Damian is unrecognisable from Only Fools and Horses in EastEnders role

ONLY Fools and Horses star Ben Smith is known to millions as Del Boy’s son Damien Trotter.

The actor played the troublesome youngster in the iconic sitcom in its 2001 festive special.

Damien terrorised his Uncle Rodney with his behaviour and wry comments.

Proving a chip off the old block, Damien was even nicknamed the spawn of Satan by his hapless uncle.

Now two decades after his debut, the actor is looking completely unrecognisable.

Ben told fans at an Only Fools convention how he was proud to have played Damien.

He explained: “I think Damien is a modern young Del Boy perhaps that we never actually saw growing up but all the references we get from the show from when he was younger he seemed like a real ‘jack the lad’.

“So I’d imagine that Damien is a modern young version keeping up-to-date with gangster rap and all that culture.”

Since the show ended, Ben has become a successful actor.

At 32, he has appeared in major shows like Teachers, The Bill, Doctor Who, Holby City and Misfits.

He has also had roles in Goodnight Mister Tom and Help! I’m a Teenage Outlaw.

Ben also played the character Reece Keys movie Passer By alongside James Nesbitt.

But one of his bigger roles saw him cast in EastEnders as Tegs Teague.

A gang leader, Tegs headed up crime racket ‘The E20’ and terrorised Walford.

They harassed Dot Branning, attempted to harass Shirley Carter and left the market traders in fear for their livelihoods.

Their reign of terror came to an end when Tegs stabbed Jay Brown and ended up getting arrested.

And he looked world’s away from Damien in the role.
