Danny Dyer has opened up about having grandchildren as he admitted his daughter Dani is ‘f***ed’ and ‘exhausted’ raising her three children.

The English actor, 47, discussed being a grandfather to three children all under the age of four during an appearance on The Jonathan Ross Show, which is set to air Saturday night.

He told host Jonathan: ‘I’ve got three. We call them ”the terribles” because they terrorise you. 

‘They’re a gift. My Dani is f***ed. She’s exhausted – three kids under four. They terrorise me. 

‘I say ”Dan, that’s enough now”. They’re 100 miles an hour. They just want to destroy things in front of them.’

His daughter and reality star Dani, 28, welcomed her son Santiago with her former partner Sammy Kimmence in 2021.

Dani, 28, has three children all under four years old (Dani is pictured with her fiancé Jarrod Bowen and three children Summer, Santiago and Star in November) 

Then two years later, she became a mother for the second time as she welcomed twin daughters Summer and Star with fiancé Jarrod Bowen in 2023.

Elsewhere in the show, the actor talked about the day he will have to give his daughter away to fiancé Jarrod on their big day.

He said: ‘It’s a mad thing the idea of giving your daughter away – I don’t like that. But if you’re going to give your daughter away, give your daughter to the West Ham captain! It’s amazing.’

Praising his future son-in-law, Danny also admitted that he was ‘on the verge of tears’ when Jarrod asked for Dani’s hand in marriage.

He gushed: ‘He’s a very humble, brilliant, beautiful man who worships the ground she walks on. He did call me and ask for the hand in marriage, I was on the verge of tears. I was trying to be the hard man of course.’

On whether he asked his own father-in-law for his blessing when he proposed to his wife Joanne, Danny revealed: ‘I went round there. I did ask. I don’t think he was a mᴀssive fan of mine to be fair. I was a bit of a t**t to be honest.’

Jonathan also quizzed Danny on whether he still would have given his blessing if Jarrod played for Millwall F.C as the actor is a huge West Ham United fan.

Danny joked: ‘We might have had some issues,’ before adding: ‘Listen, he loves her and adores her and that’s all I want. It’s just such a bonus that he plays for West Ham. 

‘I do feel sorry for my other daughter Sunnie – there is no man she can bring home that will match. She [Dani] has brought home the ideal man for me.’

Danny’s appearance on the show comes ahead of the launch of his new film Marching Powder.

The new movie is set to be released in March and is an ‘unofficial’ sequel to a 2004 film that become something of a cult classic. 

While it is not an official sequel to The Football Factory which the actor starred in as disillusioned 29-year-old Tommy Johnson who lives for the weekend football matches – it will follow a similar premise.

Two decades on, Danny is back on Tommy’s home turf but this time as a character named Jack, who has to turn his life around or face a spell in prison.

Speaking about the film, he quipped: ‘I swear to you, this is something very, very different. You will see a lot of me doing press over the coming weeks.’

Danny explained that the Marching Powder’s themes and storyline are more nuanced than what its explicit trailer suggests.

‘But yeah, it is something I’m very, very proud of. Because it is a love story; it’s a working-class love story,’ he said. ‘Classism is a thing, and most rom coms are never set on a council estate. There’s Pride & Prejudice, there’s someone in f****** britches!’

For Danny, the film is instead a romantic comedy told from a working-class perspective, and that is gritty and unfiltered, unlike other popular rom coms like Love Actually.

‘You know, a love story where both the man and woman say c***, but in a loving way,’ he added.

As well as Dani (pictured), Danny also shares shares another daughter Sunnie, 17, and son Arty, six, with his wife Joanne

The trailer showed him shirtless staring at mountains of cocaine and brawling in the streets.

It has given a sneak peek on what to expect and starts with actor Danny talking to camera with a suspicious substance in his hand while a group of men fight in the background.

He says: ‘I’m here to introduce my new film. It’s a gentle lovely little rom com called Marching Powder.’

He then stops and shouts at the men: ‘Oi mate, oi mate pipe down,’ before sniffing the suspicious substance.

However the group behind him carry on arguing so he shuts them up by beating them up before adding to the camera: ‘Here’s the trailer for Marching Powder. It’s a beautiful film, very PG.

‘The film is about a couple who are trying to save their marriage, it’s under strain because of the husband’s going struggle with drugs and…’

At the start of the trailer his character Jack Jones is in court where the judge reprimands him for his bad behaviour including fighting at football, possession of cocaine.

He is told he has six weeks to turn his life around or he’ll be sent to prison, with Jack declaring: ‘I’ve f***ed it. My wife is going to leave me. I’ve turned my son into a lunatic. My mates think I’m a bore.

‘My father-in-law is going to f***ing kill me! I know I can become a productive member of society. I’m going to make her proud.’

The Football Factory followed the story of two fictional groups of English football hooligans, the Headhunters, who support Chelsea, and the Bushwhackers, who support Millwall.

Danny’s character Tommy is a member of the Chelsea firm, whose life revolves around alcohol, drugs, womanising and violence, but whose increasing nightmares make him question his choice of life.

The film – which was loosely based on the novel by John King – received negative reviews from critics at the time but has gone on to become something of a cult classic.

The sequel has been тιтled Marching Powder, a euphemism for the cocaine loved by the characters.

Danny confirmed he and director Nick Love reunited for a follow-up film in January on Instagram. He wrote: ‘Let the madness begin’.

He told fans: ‘The secrets out. I’m going back to work with The Football Factory director Nick Love and I cannot f***ing wait.

‘We’re gonna be bang on the marching powder, that’s the name of the film by the way. And it starts on January 15th, and there’s gonna be more crime, drugs and serious ultra-violence.’

He concluded the exciting news: ‘And you’re gonna love it, so merry f***ing Christmas.’

The synopsis of the film says: ‘Marching Powder follows the story of Jack (Danny), a middle-aged, drug-taking football hooligan, who is arrested and given six weeks to turn his life around, or else face a long spell in prison.’

Speaking about the film, Danny said: ‘I’m buzzing to be getting back on the horse with Nick, he’s the only f***ing idiot stupid enough.

‘Marching Powder is class, we’re back in the world of The Football Factory with more violence, more drugs and lots of f***ing comedy, you’re going to love it.’
