Danny Dyer once revealed how he got a little excited during his on-screen romp with a Hollywood A-lister.
The TV legend, 46, shot to fame in the nineties – with his breakout role being Moff in 1999’s flick Human Traffic. Since then, he’s not stayed off screens – starring in the likes of The Football Factory and even Celebrity Gogglebox.
He also famously played Mick Carter in BBC soap EastEnders – making his debut in 2013. But in 2022, Danny left the soap when Mick was ‘confirmed’ dead after going missing at sea

Alongside Danny in the flick was Hollywood icon Gillian Anderson, whose TV credits include The Crown, Sex Education and The X Files. And it turns out things took an awkward turn when Danny and Gillian had to perform a sex scene.
Talking to Russell Kane on Unzipped in 2012, Dyer admitted that despite his character having trouble getting aroused, he had no such problem in real life. So much so, that he ended up getting an erection – and she noticed.
He said: “I done a film with Gillian Anderson and in the scene I couldn’t ‘get it up. In real life I was aroused.”
Russel then asked if Gillian had noticed, to which Danny replied: “Of course she did. It’s an odd thing – sex scenes. Sometimes they give you a sock to put your winkle in or sometimes they tape it to your leg.”

In other Danny news, the actor has been getting right back into his role as Football Factory returns. Titled “Marching Powder’: The Football Factory Reboot”, the film will carry on from the original plot of the sports drama film. First airing in 2004, “The Football Factory” follows the lives of some of Chelsea Football Club’s various hooligans and their issues.
Opening to the general public in May 2004, the film was initially panned by critics, who gave the film a slew of negative reviews. However, the film managed to gross over £600k at the box office when it first hit cinemas.
