Early-life: Danny Dyer was born in Canning Town, London, on July 24, 1977 to Antony and Christine. He began a lifelong love of football as a boy and is an ardent West Ham United supporter.

Quote: His views on film critic Mark Kermode, who has made disparaging remarks about Dyer's work: "If I see him I don't know how I'm going to react. I'll probably just put the nut on him."
