EastEnders’ Danny Dyer admits he ‘sat up all night smoking crack’ before on-stage horror
Danny Dyer has opened up about a troubling time in his life when he went to work in New York and ended up taking drugs all night and forgetting his lines on stage
Danny Dyer was left in tears after a nightmare drug ordeal.
The EastEnders star had been working in New York on a stage show when he decided to stay up all night “smoking crack”. And because of his drug binge, he completely forgot his lines on stage in a nightmare moment.
Speaking on How To Fail With Elizabeth Day, he remembered a time he “got very excited” by the prospect of work in the Big Apple. “Well, I took a lot of drugs out there.
“And this is the other thing I’d never dried. I take it very seriously, my work, and I love it, and I strive to be better every night.
“And I’d never got in a situation, I’d heard about people that had dried on stage, because it’s a massive thing and all that, and it never happened to me. Anyway, I thought that I could sit up all night, smoking crack, and then walk on stage, and of course you can’t f***ing do that, it’s a ridiculous idea.
