Danny Dyer is best known for tracking down gangsters, serving pints in the Queen Vic and his outrageous one-liners.
When he’s not on our screens, Danny is “destroying trolls” on social media, dishing out insults and discussing some controversial theories.
The EastEnders star is now preparing to become a grandfather at the age of 43.
His daughter Dani, 23, announced she was expecting her first child with boyfriend Sammy Kimmence this week.
The Love Island star dropped her baby bombshell news by sharing a snap of her and Sammy holding up her ultrasound with the caption: “Little bubba can’t believe you are going to be ours.”
With Danny taking on grandfather duties in just a few months time, it’s time to look back at some of his pearls of wisdom.
Animals

Danny clearly has a lot of affection for animals, but he is not so keen on ducks.
“What a happy little arrogant p**ck of a duck..,” he hilariously tweeted in September 2013 while feeding them in a park.
It must be a touchy subject for Danny, who was once offended when he couldn’t find any ducks and began to question their motives.
He explained: “Well that was weird. Found a lovely pond/lake not a f***ing duck in sight. Maybe they was shy… or maybe they was arrogant….p**cks.”

Birds seems to get a lot of stick from Danny, who prefers the ones that have a longer lie in.
“I hate that early bird… You know the one who catches the worm…get back in ya nest ya feathery little mug….,” he tweeted in November 2013.
It’s not just birds that Danny has issues with, as he has been very vocal about his hatred for flies.
In 2015, he said: “Beautiful day…beautiful….such a shame that the flys are floating about…..the sh*t eating busy p**cks……”
But Danny does love animals and felt a bit uneasy while paying some a visit at a zoo in July 2013.
“How f***ing depressed are the animals in a Zoo. Me and my littlen felt a bit guilty staring at em. Even the Rabbits looked f***ed. ;(,” he said.
Politics

Danny has not been afraid to dip his toe into politics over the years – with some even suggesting he could make a great Prime Minister.
“There’s been more backstabbing than we have in Albert Square,” he once exclaimed on the state of British politics.
In his most famous rant, Danny let everyone know his thoughts on then Prime Minister David Cameron during a special evening edition of Good Morning Britain in 2019.
During his foul-mouthed tirade, Danny claimed no one had a “f***ing clue what Brexit is” before turning on the architect.

“So what’s happened to that tw*t David Cameron who called it on,” asked Danny.
“Let’s be fair…. How comes he can scuttle off? He called all this on. Yeah? Called it on.
“Where is he? He’s in Europe, in Nice, with his trotters up, yeah? Where is the geezer?
“I think he should be held to account for it. He should be held to account for it.
He stunned hosts Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid again by ending his rant with a simple: “Tw*t”

Last year, Danny was in despair at the state of the world, due to the fact that he had his own gameshow and that Boris Johnson had become PM.
“I’ve got my own game show, I’m a host, Boris Johnson is the f**king Prime Minster…,” he told Mo Gilligan.
” …I mean that’s a f**king alien, I am telling you that.”
It’s not just British politicians that hve got it in the neck, as Danny showed he is not a fan of US President Donald Trump.
When Trump urged his followers to watch Katie Hopkins’ videos, Danny replied: “Is it me or is this geezer completely off his strange looking nut.”
Danny is also a big fan of Question Time, once revealing: “Gonna watch a bit of #question time while munching on a toasted crumpet that’s absolutely p*ssing with marmite…;)….sophistication.”
Social media

Outspoken Danny loves nothing more than getting into a Twitter spat with some trolls.
When he was called a “massive bell**d” in July 2015, furious Danny lashed out by hitting back at his hater.
“Mate you look like an Earthworm who’s whacked a Hoodie on,” replied the EastEnders star.
One of Danny’s favourite past times is taking on the Twitter mob, so he once rewarded himself after a hard evening of “Troll destroying.”
“Right that’s enough Troll destroying for one night I’m gonna go and do something constructive like order a f***ing Dominos pizza,” he tweeted.
It’s not just Twitter users that have angered Danny, as he once took aim at the site itself.
“Twitter can be one arrogant p**ck sometimes,” he angrily tweeted in January 2016 when the site crashed.
Parenting

Danny has previously admitted that having daughter Dani at the age of just 19 made him the man he is today.
While Dani is all grown up now, the actor is raising 13-year-old Sunnie and six-year-old Arty with wife Joanne Mas.
On the demands of parenting, Danny once said: “I love my baby girl with all my heart. But I can’t wait for her to whack that blazer on tomorrow and get back in that f***ing school!”
He’s also been very frank with the demands of bringing up a toddler.

“Is there a university or something that can teach you how to avoid your 3 year old from nutting, clipping and jumping on your b***ock every 5 minutes?!,” he hilariously tweeted.
He also added: “Bringing up a toddler is like borrowing a monkey for a couple of years. They just s*** all over the gaff and proper take the p*** out of you.”
Danny finally married long-term partner and mother of his kids Joanne in 2016.
When announcing the exciting news, he boldly tweeted: “Finally my kids will no longer be b*****ds….me and @MasDyerJo are finally getting married after a 25 stretch…thanks for the love people.”
Aliens
“My name’s Danny Dyer, and I believe in UFOs,” said the actor at the start of his incredible BBC documentary on extra terrestrial life in 2010.
Danny insisted he had seen UFOs during his life and was adamant it was not a balloon or Chinese lantern.
During an interview on BBC Radio 1 in 2014, host Matt Edmonson jokingly asked if he had actually seen a kite.
“It was a pretty lively kite, I’ll tell you. You’re just one of them that will not believe,” claimed Danny.
“I would love an alien to come down and give you a little visit. I would pay good money for that.”
Perhaps Danny’s wisest ever remark was about our ability to eat a beloved lunchtime snack.
Getting very philosophical while on a ‘Sunday come down’, Danny imagined a world without opposable thumbs.
In August 2015, he tweeted: “If we didn’t have thumbs we could never enjoy eating a sandwich.”
