FANS of badboy film star Danny Dyer will be able to get up close and personal with him when he makes a special visit to Canvey this weekend.

The actor, who is set to join EastEnders on Christmas Day, is holding an intimate questionand- answer session at Moviestarr Cinema, in Eastern Esplanade.

He will be meeting 130 fans and promoting his new action film, Vendetta, which tells the story of interrogation officer who tracks down a gang which slaughtered his own parents.

It is not Danny’s first visit to the island, as he has previously potted some balls with friends at nearby Starr Snooker on a number of occasions.

James Parkin, owner of the Moviestarr Cinema, said: “We have a film booker who sorts out all of our films, because we want to make sure we can show all the latest releases.

“He was offered the chance for Danny to come down to do a question- and-answer session and we jumped at the chance.

“We’re really grateful. I’m lucky enough to have met him before because he’s been down to the snooker club a few times, so maybe he remembers me from that. He is exactly what you see on TV. He’s just a really nice, down-to-earth fella.”

The session is open to 130 fans and tickets are still available.

Danny, who lives in Epping, shot to fame in film Human Traffic back in 1999 and went on to appear in hits including, the Football Factory, Mean Machine and Adulthood.

He filmed scenes last year at Southend Airport for the movie InAHeartbeat. He turned down a part on EastEnders back in 2009, but is set to join the BBC soap after taking on the role of Mick Carter, the new landlord of the Queen Victoria pub.

Mr Parkin added: “As you can imagine, the front rows have already sold out, but usually they are the last ones to go!

“It’s an amazing opportunity to get up close and personal with Danny Dyer. EastEnders fans are going to love it!”
