Any thoughts on him or his recent Zoo magazine "advise"

The man's an idiot.

But I've rather liked a couple of his films, and that sitcom pilot he was in recently.

Fnar fnar.

I thought he'd died when I saw this thread. He hasn't. :(

Ha, I did too.

What was his 'advice'?

Danny Dyer and Zoo magazine are at loggerheads over the axing of his column and claims that he was "misquoted" in his agony uncle page in which he said that a heartbroken boyfriend should "cut his ex's face, so no one will want her".

In response to a letter about getting over a split from a girlfriend, the Football Factory actor and TV presenter's column said: "You've got nothing to worry about, son. I'd suggest going out on a rampage with the boys, getting on the booze and smashing anything that moves. Then, when some bird falls for you, you can turn the tables and break her heart. Of course, the other option is to cut your ex's face, and then no one will want her."

Zoo magazine has rejected a claim made in the Sun last week that Dyer had been misquoted in his response to the letter from 23-year old Alex Woolliscroft.

"As an immediate result of an ongoing internal inquiry following an indefensible comment published in this week's issue, Zoo has decided to bring the Danny Dyer column to an end," says a statement on the lads' magazine's website. "We would like to make it clear that Danny was not misquoted, but that does not excuse the fact his comment appeared in print."

It is understood that Dyer's weekly advice column is dictated over the phone to a member of the magazine's staff, a common practice in the magazine industry.

In the Sun, Dyer, who has presented a number of TV shows and featured in nearly 30 films, was reported as saying: "This is totally out of order, I am totally devastated. I have been completely misquoted. This is not the advice I would give any member of the public. I do not condone violence against women."

Dyer is understood to have appointed lawyers to look at the case.

Who the f*ck is Danny Dyer ?

Some common person. He was in a very funny sitcom pilot recently.

Who wants "advise" of him? Huh?

I must have missed that, because the one I saw him in was shit.

This seems like the appropriate thread for this;

I think he's alright, to be honest. He was very good as 'Moff' in Human Traffic and did a job (admittedly typecast) job in The Football Factory and The Business.

He basically took the piss out of himself in Filth, the aforementioned (and in my opinion very, very funny) sitcom pilot.

Doesn't really excuse what he said but, at the same time, surely that there is a 'Danny Dyer advice column' in *Zoo* magazine is obviously a massive parody? It's more scary that people read it without realising the irony than of what he actually said!
