Actor Danny Dyer recently revealed that he and his wife were forced to leave their home in a posh neighborhood due to their neighbors' resentment towards them. This situation was not unlike his character in the popular show Rivals, where Danny plays a successful entrepreneur who is looked down upon by the wealthy residents of a small town in the Cotswolds, based on the Jilly Cooper novel.
In an interview with The Mirror, the 47-year-old actor shared that when they first moved into their four-bedroom home in Essex, they were met with skepticism and even acts of vandalism. People were questioning why they were living in the area, assuming that they were multi-millionaires. However, Danny clarified that this move was actually a big step up for his family and they were not as well off as people thought.
The situation only worsened as they continued to live in that neighborhood. Danny recalled waking up to find eggs and even vodka bottles being thrown at their house. He couldn't help but think that it was because of his character on Eastenders that people didn't like him. Eventually, they had to move to a different area, which Danny described as lovely.
The actor's experience mirrors that of his character in Rivals, where he is constantly belittled and looked down upon by the upper-class residents. Despite this, Danny has received a lot of praise for his portrayal of Freddie Jones, a soft-spoken and sensitive man who is constantly pining for his neighbor, writer Lizzie Vereker. This role is a departure from Danny's usual tough-guy characters in films like Human Traffic and The Football Factory, or his more recent role as Mick Carter in Eastenders.
Danny's co-stars in Rivals include big names like David Tennant and Aidan Turner, but it is his character Freddie that has captured the hearts of many viewers. Despite being routinely put down by his wife and struggling with unrequited love, Danny manages to play Freddie with compassion and tenderness.
