Danny Dyer Strips Down (Literally) for ‘Mr. Bigstuff’
If you think you’ve seen everything Danny Dyer has to offer on screen, his latest stunt will make you think again. For the second season of Sky’s comedy-drama Mr. Bigstuff, Dyer took things up a notch by running absolutely naked through a council estate—no body double, no clever camera tricks, just pure Danny Dyer.
Dyer, always one for a bold move, revealed how nerve-wracking and hilarious it was to film this unforgettable scene. The moment, combining physical comedy and total vulnerability, doesn’t just serve for cheap laughs. It lands perfectly in the show’s sweet spot: blending rough-edged reality with punchy humor. Dyer’s willingness to bare all (in every sense) captures the raw energy the show has built its reputation on.
Behind the Scenes: Fearless Comedy and Gritty Realism
Talking about the shoot, Dyer described not just the shock factor but the surreal experience of sprinting nude across familiar urban territory while surrounded by the camera crew and—in true council estate fashion—a handful of unsuspecting onlookers. He admitted that even with years as a screen tough guy, there’s no training for a scene like this. His co-star, Ryan Sampson, couldn’t resist joining the conversation about how much nerve it took to pull this off, adding that the whole cast felt the pressure to match Dyer’s commitment to the show’s physical comedy.
What’s wild is that everyone involved had to keep a straight face while shooting, even as Dyer went full streaker mode. It was both a test of professional focus and a highlight of the show’s unique tone—fearless, cheeky, and shockingly honest. Far from just a gag, the scene reflects the series’ respect for the unpredictable realities of estate life and how comedy comes from the most unexpected places.
With the new season promising even more out-of-the-box moments, fans of Danny Dyer can expect plenty of unforgettable TV and boundary-pushing laughs. If this scene is any hint, Dyer and crew aren’t slowing down—if anything, they’re running faster and baring more, all in the name of comedy.
