EastEnders legend Danny Dyer has opened up about his previous drug addiction which saw him "sit up all night smoking crack".The 46 year old actor also revealed that he froze on stage during a Broadway show following a heavy night of drug use at the height of his addiction.
Danny appeared on the How to Fail with Elizabeth Day podcast and bonus episode Failing With Friends, where he spoke about his time in New York when he starred on Broadway.
During this period of his life, Danny admitted he took "a lot of drugs out there" and said he "never dried up". While he took his work "very seriously" and "loved it" he was left in tears after one performance as he realised he had messed up and suffered a panic attack backstage.
He said on the podcast: "I thought that I could sit up all night, smoking crack, and then walk on stage, and of course you can't f****** do that, it's a ridiculous idea. "I've done this play so much, matinees, and I just didn't have a clue what to say." He went on to share that the "worst thing" was that the other actors in the production, who knew he had been out, were looking at him in "horror".
