Danny Dyer reveals he ran 'NAKED' through a council estate while filming new series of Mr. Bigstuff

Daily Mail​3 days ago
is back in the buff in series two of Sky's Mr Bigstuff as he revealed he 'ran through a council estate naked'.
The actor, 47, portrays geezer Lee, who rocks up to his brother Glen's carpet factory hoping for a new chapter, in the Sky series, which will return to screens on Thursday.
Danny has now joked about striping off in 'broad daylight' and how he was worried about it being 'too cold'.
Laughing, the former EastEnders star told The Sun: 'Ever run through a council estate naked? It's a whole new ball game, literally.
'I was concentrating on the weather, more than anything else, you know, that it wasn't too cold! It was broad daylight. I didn't go fully [nude], I had a little sock over my Hampton.'
Danny said he didn't mind filming naked scenes as it was important to the storyline with his character chasing down a thug, who threw a brick through a window.

He added: 'You read this stuff, and you go, 'OK, I've got to physically do it'. But it's important to the show, it's a vital scene. You go, 'He's back'. It's the way of showing the alpha is back.'
The show follows two estranged and rather contrasting brothers, Glen (Ryan Sampson) and Lee (Danny), as they discover that their father, who they thought was dead, is actually alive.
It comes after Danny opened up about his daughter Dani Dyer's wedding to West Ham United footballer Jarrod Bowen, calling it 'the best day of his life'.
The celebrity couple tied the knot in a 'Bridgerton-themed' wedding on May 31 at the plush £500-a-night Langley Hotel in Iver, Buckinghamshire.
Dani wowed on the occasion in a £10,000 off-the-shoulder dress created by the award-winning wedding dress designer Suzanne Neville.
Jarrod - who wiped away tears as Danny walked his daughter towards the alter - wore a three-piece black suit for the ceremony.
Danny, a lifelong Hammers supporter, has regularly gushed about the fact his daughter's seeing his favourite footballer.
And he amusingly told Amanda Holden and Jamie Theakston on Heart Breakfast about that on Dani's wedding day he gave her away to the 'man of his dreams'.
He said: 'Ever run through a council estate naked? I was concentrating on the weather, more than anything else, you know, that it wasn't too cold! It was broad daylight'
Speaking about the wedding, he told the hosts: 'I was in pieces, darling.
'The best day of my life. Honestly, it was just so beautiful.
'I managed, you know, to give my daughter away to the man of my dreams - I don't think that's ever happened in the history of any father giving their daughter away!
'So it was the perfect day. Let me tell you that now, it was just beautiful.'
It comes as Danny is reportedly teaming up with acting heavyweight Stephen Graham for a powerful new TV drama - and it's tipped to go head-to-head with 2025's biggest hit, Adolescence.
The pair, who last worked together in the 2009 cult horror Doghouse, are in early talks to create a hard-hitting series tackling some of the toughest issues facing society today.
A source told The Mirror: 'It's a gritty new drama. They are currently thrashing out what they want to do but it will be in the vein of Adolescence. Something unflinching and moving.'
Adolescence, which starred Stephen and was co-created by him and writer Jack Thorne, has become Netflix 's most-watched series of the year.
It sparked a national debate and was even discussed in Parliament over its depiction of teenage misogyny and online safety.
The series, which follows a father whose teenage son is arrested for murder, hit No1 in 71 countries and clocked up a staggering 66.3 million views in just two weeks.
After the shortlist for this year's Emmy awards was announced on Tuesday, it was revealed Adolescence received 13 nominations.
Of those Emmy Award nominations, Owen Cooper who starred as Jamie Miller in the series has become one of the youngest nominees ever.
He is up for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited Series or Anthology Series or Movie category at the Primetime.
And at just 15-years-old the school boy will be the youngest-ever male winner in the 76-year history of the 'TV Oscars' if he scoops the accolade for his role in Adolescence.
Danny, 47, has publicly praised Stephen's work on the globally successful series, saying: 'It's such an important subject, Steve. You've got to roll me into something. I want a bit of this.'
Away from the cameras, it is reported the duo are also planning to reunite on a more personal level, organising a double date with wives Joanne Mas and Hannah Walters.
MailOnline has contacted Danny and Stephen's representatives.

"Lilys brain was still developing yet the Slaters saw it a good idea for her to become a mother at such a young age. "I find that absolutely disgusting, especially because Stacey was struggling to make ends meet during that time." Another fan added: "The issue with Lily's pregnancy is that at no point did anyone try to engage Lily in an adult conversation about what having a baby would mean for her life. "Lily just stomped out of every conversation she didn't want to have, and Stacey and Martin let her."

Huge movie star drops big hint he's the new Bond with telling move as he leads 007 race

A HUGE movie star has dropped a big hint that he's the new Bond with a telling move, as he heads the 007 race. Fans are desperate to know who the next 007 will be - and they may now be one step closer to finding out. 4 4 There are three frontrunners as the race reaches the finish line, one of which is Australian star Jacob Elordi, 28. The heartthrob and Saltburn star has been a firm name in the mix for a while now. And Although Jacob is Australian, it does not rule him out - especially as Aussie actor George Lazenby previously played Bond in On Her Majesty's Secret Service in 1969. In another clue pointing towards the actor's involvement, he has recently re-activated his Instagram account. This move comes a year after the 28-year-old previously deactivated his account, despite being a regular poster on the platform. As a result, fans have speculated that the star could be gearing up for some promo for a movie, with many keeping fingers crossed that that movie is James Bond. Jacob is yet to share any posts on his Instagram account, despite reactivating it. Hollywood hot property Timothee Chalamet has also seen his likelihood of becoming 007 increase thanks to his previous collaborations with the acclaimed director. The star, who has twice been nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor, worked with Denis Villeneuve on both Dune and Dune: Part Two - with both flicks going on to become box office hits. James Bond expert drops huge hint about new 007 actor after he starred in movie with huge A-list actress It has sparked speculation that their work together in the past could mean that he is a shoe-in to secure the role from Daniel Craig. According to new odds from Ladbrokes, Timothee has seen his odds rise to a cool 16/1. Last month, 57-year-old Denis was revealed to have been appointed the director of the 26th James Bond flick by Amazon MGM. The Canadian film-maker told how some of his "earliest movie-going memories" were linked to the James Bond movie franchise. He spoke out after his role was made public and said: "Some of my earliest movie-going memories are connected to 007. "I grew up watching James Bond films with my father, ever since 'Dr. No' with Sean Connery. I'm a die-hard Bond fan." In the statement, he added: "To me, he's sacred territory. "I intend to honour the tradition and open the path for many new missions to come. "This is a massive responsibility, but also, incredibly exciting for me and a huge honour. "Thank you to Amazon MGM Studios for their trust." 4 4
