Who is Danny Dyer?

Danny Dyer is a 43-year-old actor and soap heartthrob known for making a slew of low-budget gangster movies.

Born in Canning Town, East London in 1977, Danny – who is an avid West Ham United fan – now lives in Essex with his wife Jo Mas.

He has two daughters, Dani and Sunnie, as well as son Arty.

Some of his most memorable projects include The Football Factory, The Business and Doghouse.

Beginning his career at the age of 16, he was discovered by an agent who auditioned him for the part of Martin Fletcher in the Granada Television series Prime Suspect 3 in 1993.

Since then, other TV jobs have included roles in Cadfael, A Touch of Frost, Loved Up, Thief Takers, Soldier Soldier, Casualty, Hollyoaks Later and Skins – as well as enjoying a hugely successful film career.

In January 2019 Danny delved into the lives of his royal and noble forebears in Danny Dyer’s Right Royal Family after discovering he was descended from King Edward III in BBC show Who Do You Think You Are?

Nowadays though, he’s best-known for playing Queen Vic landlord Mick Carter in EastEnders.

Danny signed a “golden handcuffs” deal, reportedly worth around £1million, with the Beeb in December 2018 that bars him from starring in shows on rival channels.
