Danny Dyer’s son Arty, 11, has sported a series of new looks in a trailer for a new film.
Arty is starring with dad Danny, 47, in upcoming movie Marching Powder, which is set in the same world as his 2004 hit The Football Factory. In stills from Marching Powder, which is coming out this year, young Arty showed off his acting creds by pulling off distinctive styles.
In some moments, Arty – who plays Danny’s son JJ – looks prim and proper in a pressed shirt and glasses. Other shots show him channelling his dad’s old look in an Adidas tracksuit. Another moment shows him completely unrecognisable, in pale face makeup contrasted by messy red lipstick and bright blue eyeshadow.

According to Vue’s listing for Marching Powder: “The film follows the story of Jack Jones (Danny Dyer), an aging, drug-taking football hooligan who feels increasingly irrelevant in today’s society as he struggles to keep his family together. Hooked on drugs and adrenaline; and struggling to resist the pull of his firm of fellow football fans, Jack is arrested after some violent matchday exploits and given six weeks to turn his life around, or else face a long spell in prison.
“Juggling his marriage, his mates, his hard-nut bully of a father-in-law, and his unhinged 25-year-old brother-in-law, Jack tries to get his life back on track, but his world slowly starts to spiral out of control. Can Jack overcome his inner demons, or is he heading for jail?”
Alongside Arty, Danny shares Love Island star Dani and 17-year-old daughter Sunnie with wife Joanne Mas. Having grown up with a successful actor as a dad, Danny recently admitted his kids are scared of the council estate he grew up in.

“I’m very proud of my roots. I’ve tried not to lose that. Unfortunately, I’ve got kids that are quite privileged, so they don’t really understand,” he told Sky News last week.
“Sometimes I drive back to Custom House, where I was brought up, and the kids (are) in the back and they’re petrified of getting out of the car, which is a real shame”, he shared.
“They can’t believe that their dad lived on a council estate. But I think it gives you a good work ethic. And I think the classism thing is … there’s a lot of isms in the world, and I think everybody has to deal with it at some point in their life. And it just made me a lot more determined and ambitious really, I’ve always backed myself as an actor…”
Danny added: “And I’m lucky to have managed to have had quite a long career up to this point. So like I said, I do think it gives you some sort of steel inside you when you come from a very working-class background, you’re ready to take on the world as such. The actor also said that acting “wasn’t really encouraged” where he was from, adding that he “believed in himself” despite this.
