UK Hard Man Danny Dyer To Explore Modern Masculinity In Channel 4 Documentary

deadline.com:

EXCLUSIVE: Danny Dyer‘s range is continuing to expand as the Football Factory star lands himself a Channel 4 documentary series exploring modern masculinity.

Danny Dyer: How To Be A Man will see the EastEnders alum delve deep into the evolving landscape of masculinity. At a time when people are labeling masculinity ‘toxic,’ Dyer, who made his name in a string of movies playing traditional ‘hard men’ and also hosted Danny Dyer’s Deadliest Men for Bravo, will ask people across Britain what they think it means to be a man in our society, and what the future is for the male identity.

The series from Whitworth Media will feature interviews with a politician, psychologists, a mental health expert, a fitness expert, a sex therapist, an influencer, male victims of domestic abuse, and members of the Brighton Gay Men’s Chorus to offer a range of voices and perspectives on this complex subject.

Across the two episodes, Dyer will also explore gender stereotypes and male attitudes to mental health. “As someone of a similar vintage to Danny it’s been fascinating, shocking but also inspiring ‘to travel the country talking to ‘geezers’,” said director James Routh. “It’s important that we have these conversations as a society, preferably face-to-face.” Dyer starred in a string of movies including Human Traffic, The Football Factory and Mean Machine in the earlier part of his career.
