Ever wondered if movie stars read their reviews in Loaded? Well, this DVD commentary has surfaced from the Nick Love film, Outlaw, starring Danny Dyer, and there he is calling us ‘slags’!
(Listen from 43 seconds in)
To be fair, we found this clip very, very funny indeed, and perhaps you will too. “I worked my fucking bollocks off, and then I read this,” the cockney actor says on the recording, recalling our 2007 review of his film.
“Lazy Nick Love…Danny Dyer has a dream sequence again which comes true,” he says, almost reciting the review word-for-word.
“I’ll tell you who it was… I’ll pipe up,” he continues, enraged. “It was Loaded!”
To be fair, it was us, it’s a fair cop. But, at the time we were very much in Danny’s corner- he was in the magazine more often than Lucy Pinder, and that’s saying something. But the review was in no way a bad one: We gave the film three stars and said: “Good honest folk fight back against the yobs”.
However we were correct in pointing out that young Daniel’s characters in Nick Love films are prone to cockney-narrated dream sequences. And Dyer IS right, we ARE all slags.
