Mike Tyson is a lot of things: a pop-culture icon, a former champion boxer, a WWE Hall of Fame inductee, an actor (appearing in the popular Hangover series) AND a fan of Danny Dyer, on top of much, much more.
When asked about which UK actors he’d like to work with, Tyson told The Sun: “Danny Dyer. I love him to death. He’s cool and I love his movies. I love Danny Dyer. I haven’t seen EastEnders, but I’m familiar with it.”
His resounding answer surprised the EastEnders star who tweeted “Hahahaha. Beautiful. Gotta be a wind up innit.”
Dyer was recently nominated for a National Television Award for his Outstanding Serial Drama Performance as “Mick Carter”. You can vote for him here. Check out the full interview with Mike Tyson from The Sun here.
