Danny Dyer is to explore modern masculinity in a new Channel 4 documentary series. Titled Danny Dyer: How To Be A Man, the two-part series will see the actor, known for playing hard-man characters, dive into areas including gender stereotypes, male attitudes to mental health and the changing roles of men in society.
The Eastenders star will ask men across Britain what they think it means to be a man today and what the future is for the male identity. He will talk to a politician, psychologists, a mental health expert, a fitness expert, a sex therapist, an influencer, male victims of domestic abuse and members of the Brighton Gay Men's Chorus.
He will meet individuals who believe "traditional masculinity" is under threat as well as those advocating for a more progressive and inclusive version of the male identity and manhood. Dyer said: "As an actor, I've played countless characters, but now I am making a documentary about what the evolving place of men really is."

That's why we wanted to chat to real men that are representative of the UK today, to hear their thoughts on what being a modern man is to them."
"To me, being a man isn't about trying to fit a mould, it's about showing a bit of heart and respecting yourself and others, so I'm hoping this documentary gets the geezers talking."
Dyer's breakout role was as Moff in the cult 1999 film Human Traffic, followed by parts in Mean Machine and The Football Factory. He rose to further prominence playing Mick Carter in BBC soap EastEnders,
