AIBU?

To think Danny Dyer is actually just a caricature in Eastenders

18 replies

Is it just me?

He is a good looking bloke but does anyone IRL talk in such a forced, stilted way.

And what's with the fact he always talks with his head at an angle and holds his arms away from his body like a monkey.

It's too weird- he is like a cartoon character.

I think he must have a permanent crick in his neck and the shifty eyes down thing is because he's embarrassed to be on Eastenders

UncleT · 14/04/2014 20:51

YANBU. He totally is a caricature and nothing but (in Eastenders).

Megrim · 14/04/2014 20:52

Danny Dyer can only play Danny Dyer - don't think he can actually play anyone else? Or act?

ItsSpringBaby · 14/04/2014 21:16

He really is a stereotype 'Cockney geezer'.

MamaPain · 14/04/2014 21:21

Still would...

ForalltheSaints · 14/04/2014 21:52

It's not real. It's acting.

Do something other than watching Eastenders.

PomBearWithAnOFRS · 14/04/2014 21:55

I've never seen him in Eastenders, but he comes across as a caricature every time I see him on anything Ee's a geezer innee?

Isn't DD just being DD - no acting involved. He comes across as rather short in the brains department....

Are he and Kellie Bright the modern day Den and Angie Watts... I am waiting for him to leap over the bar in the Vic.

Bearbehind · 14/04/2014 22:00

It's not real. It's acting.

That's just it- no one could actually act that badly! It has to be his natural persona.

mama I so would

EnglishGirlApproximately · 14/04/2014 22:04

It doesn't matter what emotion he's trying to convey he just looks constipated. I saw an episode of Eastenders last week for the first time in ages and the acting was generally awful so he fits right in.

I ain't interested in 'is brains

Where Danny Dyer is concerned, it is absolutely terrible acting. If you have ever seen any of his terrible 'documentaries' that is exactly how he presented them. Cringeworthy.

dexter73 · 14/04/2014 22:47

I love Danny Dyer. He deserves an Oscar. Did you not see him squeeze that tear out last week while talking to his son?! Acting gold.

CundtBake · 14/04/2014 22:52

Clearly I'm a minority but I loves him. And I thought the scene he did when his younger son was coming out was just beautiful.

There are some good actors/actresses in eastenders but let's be honest it's not oscar worthy material.

Oh and I so would. Lots of times. Loads.

BOFster · 14/04/2014 22:53

I don't watch Eastenders, but Morgana Robinson has got him spot on in - this is quite possibly my favourite YouTube ever...

AskBasil · 14/04/2014 22:56

He's not that much more multi faceted outside of Eastenders tbh

SecretRed · 14/04/2014 23:43

I really like his character in eastenders. He plays him well and I like the whole family dynamic. He's my main reason for tuning in these days!
