Danny Dyer shares his surprise at his awards success after years of being seen as 'a laughing stock' by critics as he poses for bold Rolling Stone cover
After leaving EastEnders in 2023, he has seen his career explode, bagging Male Performance in a Comedy BAFTA for his role in Mr. Bigstuff last year. But Danny admitted that he has struggled to wrap his head around his new critical acclaim, having been viewed for so long as 'a bit of a laughing stock'. 'I’m not claiming to be Marlon Brando; I’m just providing for my family, and as an actor that’s a really difficult thing to do. Danny explained he made out it was no big deal, but secretly he was overjoyed by the career-saving offer. 'Now, I'm at a stage where I have loads of offers that I've got the power to say no to.
