EastEnders legend Danny Dyer has never shied away from giving his political opinion,
so naturally I had to end our recent interview with an important question: What is the first
thing he’d do as Prime Minister? Danny is set to star in new comedy series Mr Bigstuff,
alongside actor and writer Ryan Sampson, who also sat down with Metro.co.uk for a chat. In true Dyer fashion, the response to my question was an hilarious, if controversial, quip. ‘I’d bring back smoking in pubs.’ Behind The Scenes: Danny Dyer explains why he quit EastEnders 21 hours ago TV and film legend makes dramatic EastEnders exit in death story 21 hours ago A very Danny Dyer response. Prior to that, however, he took a more serious stance, revealing that he wanted to see more representation of the working class in the House of Commons. ‘I’d put in more working class politicians,’ he told me.
‘We need people that the majority of people can identify with. There’s not enough of that – well, there’s none. ‘There’s a couple knocking about around, and you go, “Oh God, that one’s working class, that’s amazing!”’ His answer stemmed from a previous discussion where he shared his goals for his career, revealing that he hoped to inspire more working class actors by starting his own production company.
