Danny Dyer's ‘struggle' with addiction comes to light

Danny Dyer’s youngest daughter, Sunnie, just revealed how her father’s addiction “struggle” influenced her career and life choices.

The 18-year-old, who recently accompanied the actor to the BAFTA TV Awards, shared insights into her upbringing and how many of her life decisions have been influenced by the tough times she went through.

“Seeing my dad struggle at times was very, very hard,” she told The Sun, emphasizing how the experiences have made her establish boundaries when it comes to alcohol consumption.

Sunnie continued, “Now if he was struggling we could have a chat, but when I was younger I couldn't have understood.”

“I was very protected. I didn't understand at home but then I would go to primary school and people would talk about it and I wouldn't really have a clue. It's very sad,” she further added.

However, despite the rough patches, Sunnie has described her father, Danny Dyer as her “best friend” and the one who has inspired her dream of winning a BAFTA, an award her renowned dad bagged last year, in the category of Best Male Performance in a Comedy for his role in Mr Bigstuff.
