Danny Dyer: 'I'll break Mark Kermode's nose'

Danny Dyer has suggested that he would headbutt Mark Kermode if the two ever met.

The BBC movie critic has frequently mocked Dyer on his weekly BBC Radio 5 Live movie reviews show with Simon Mayo.

Asked how he felt about the criticism, Dyer told PureMovies: "I've seen it, yeah. He's such a pr*ck. I don't even talk like that, you know what I mean?! I actually watched it and I found it quite funny, because I couldn't believe that this is the way he perceives me.

"He's the only one that sees me like that, I believe. It's very odd. He's just a got a bit of a problem with me, and what it is I really don't know. But I think he does tend to forget that I've done [Harold] Pinter and stuff like that. I don't think he takes me seriously as an actor."

Dyer added: "But our paths will meet, one day, and there won't be no talking. It'll probably just be a headbutt straight to the f**king nose, and then he can go off and do his impressions with a broken nose… that'd be good, wouldn't it?"

Last year, Dyer was criticised when a Zoo magazine column published under his name urged a reader to "cut [his] ex's face" after a split so that "no-one will want her".
