Dyer 'trains with army for WWII role'

Danny Dyer has revealed that he is undergoing extreme military training for his upcoming role as a Second World War commando.

The actor will star alongside Sean Bean in new war movie Age of Heroes. The movie centres around special British combat unit 30 Commando, which collected information on Nazi Germany.

To ensure that he is in peak fitness for the part, Dyer said that he is forcing himself through a punishing regime of exercise and weapons training with the Royal Marines.

He wrote in his Zoo column: "I'm making this war film next month where I play a WWII commando - it's an old school action flick, with me running around ironing out Nazis, I can't wait.

"Thing is, they're sending me up to Scotland to put me through my paces first. The bloke I'm going with is a Major, so he won't f**k about. He's going to be one miserable c**t, I just know it - 'So you want to play at being a commando, you poncey actor?'"

Dyer added: "It's going to be hard work, but I want to make a proper go of this film, so I really need to arse-lick this part."
