I cant help but feel him being on all these hard men shows and advising to "cut that slags face" for cheating on her fella hasnt helped his popularity from waning

Seems Shorn Canarys (Sean Connery) "give them a shlap" didnt hurt his career any when it came to movies.

That incident got Danny Dyer into a heap of trouble. 'He' said that in a Lads Mags column, on an advice page he supposedly wrote, I think it was in Zoo or Nuts magazine. He later claimed he never wrote any of the answers to the questions people wrote in about, just pretended to. I've always suspected this to be the case with advice pages supposedly written by celebs in these magazines.

Someone wrote in saying he is having difficulty getting over the break up of his relationship and he can't handle the fact she might go off with someone else. 'Danny' answered saying that if he doesn't want her to go off with anyone else he should slash her face then no one else would want her. This got big publicity across wider media and he and the magazine got in trouble. He later said he never wrote a word of the column, and it was a journalist at the magazine who did. He made an online video saying he lives with a number of beautiful ladies (his missus and daughters) and how he respects women and would never say anything like that. He severed ties with the magazine soon after.

I comdemn any violence against women. As you say it didn't seem to harm Sean Connery's career and I also remember Dennis Waterman admitting to hitting Rula Lenska, his partner at the time, on several occasions. That didn't harm his career either.

According to Wikipedia: "The film made ?602 during its opening weekend". That is bad. I remember another awful film Dyer made, Pimp, set in Soho. It was truly terrible, it tried to use a novel way of story-telling, a bit like a reality TV show with lots of pieces to camera and people acting outside the 'fourth wall'. It's not even so-bad-it's-good - it's just bad.

He cannot act and the way he slavvered all over those so called hardmen in his TV series was barf inducing. Next step "celeb" big bruvvah wiv sum 'ard geezers from sarf of da rivva....."

I really thought Dyer's career was finished a few years ago when you would see ads on billboards promoting how he was doing personal appearances. "See Danny Dyer at Dizzy's nightclub in Woodford this Saturday!" and so on. Maybe he even realises the films he makes now are crap and will be seen by few people but he makes them as the money is quite good.

He is mates with a lot of gangsters,he isnt putting on an act.

is the production of films this bad just part of some tax fiddle? or is that urban myth?

i recall Brown tried to close some of the film tax loopholes as Chancellor but not sure what the current situation is? I guess the likes of Jimmy Carr and Gary Barlow have to do something with their cash! Not sure why Vicki Michelle has attached her name to it but she always was a bit of a favourite of mine!

I remember that, they gave people tax breaks to encourage them to invest in the failing British film industry, then complained people were investing in the film industry to avoid tax.

I remember the Australian band INXS put some money into the making of 'Crocodile Dundee' in the hope it would fail because that would be financially beneficial to them. Michael Hutchence said years later that you got 120% off your tax if you put money into films. This was done so more people made movies there.

That was Australia, I'm not sure how it works, or worked, in the UK. I expect they've stopped doing this in Australia now as the Government usually lost money, employment was created as more actors were employed (usually in bad films) but it did little to advance quality film making down-under.

I'm sure there are ways, if you have a clever accountant and legal advisor, to make money by reducing your tax bill on the original money earned, if you put it into British movies - whether they flop or not.

Michael Hutchence discusses it here. At 4mins 35 secs he talks about it:
