EASTENDERS actor Danny Dyer says he has grown up after being “a lunatic” in younger days.
In 2017, he was ordered by soap bosses to take a break due to his partying and cheating rumours.
He has since shunned booze and committed to his wife and three kids.
Danny, who plays Mick Carter in Albert Square, said: “I feel more settled now that I am in my forties. I am going to be 43 this year.
“I feel really grateful for everything that I have got in my life and I think went through many many years of being a lunatic.
“It took me a long time to grow up, I feel. Like it does with most men.
“It does change your life and it changes your whole outlook and you have a responsibility to be a good role model I suppose.”
Speaking at the launch of Pretty Woman: The Musical on Monday night in London he added: “I am just very grateful that I have got a f*****g wonderful wife that will stick by me for so long.
“I have been with her for thirty years.
“I am just bringing up my children and I am lucky to have a job that I love to do and I feel blessed for that.”
