The actor thinks that because of his EastEnders role, his house was vandalized.
Recently, Danny Dyer disclosed that he and his family were forced to leave their house in a wealthy neighborhood in Essex due to unwelcome attention from their neighbors.
The actor most recently starred on television as Freddie Jones, a good-hearted businessman who lives in a rich town with critical neighbors in the Disney+ version of Jilly Cooper’s Rivals.
Unexpectedly, Dyer’s part closely resembles his real-life experiences.
He and his spouse were shunned by the neighborhood after relocating to an Essex house with four bedrooms.
He stated to the Mirror: “When I moved in people were milling around saying, ‘What are you doing moving around here?’ questioning me, thinking I was a multi-millionaire, (but) I wasn’t.”
Dyer’s cold response could have been influenced by his EastEnders character, Mick Carter.
On the BBC soap opera, Mick participated in a number of challenging plots, one of which involved an armed robbery.
After being falsely accused of assault, the character was likewise imprisoned, but he subsequently came back and almost killed his accuser by beating him.
Unpleasant outbursts from neighbors who were unable to distinguish between his actual and on-screen personas started.
Dyer remembered waking up to his property covered with splattered eggs.
As the situation worsened, he soon found himself having vodka bottles hurled at his house.
“They didn’t like my character in EastEnders, but I don’t know what the f*** I’d done,” he said. It had to be.
Thankfully, Dyer and his family have now moved to a different neighborhood and are now more comfortable there.
The actor has received recognition for his performance in Rivals, which has given him the opportunity to demonstrate a wider variety of acting skills.
Dyer’s ‘hardman’ parts in EastEnders, The Football Factory, and Human Traffic have made him famous.
His delicate depiction of Freddie Jones, however, has charmed audiences.
