Peter Andre has opened up about ‘horrific’ comments Danny Dyer once made about him in 1999 film Human Traffic, admitting they left him feeling hurt. It comes as the Mysterious Girl singer has come under fire this week and had some negative comments directed at him for starring in a new film,
While Peter is yet to address the backlash, he did take to his weekly New! Magazine column this week to give his opinion on controversy surrounding Saturday Night Live for a parody sketch they aired which mimicked actress Aimee Lou Wood and her quirky smile, leaving her hurt.
Looking back at jokes made about himself which left him feeling a similar way, Peter wrote: “I saw on Instagram that White Lotus actress Aimee Lou Wood felt the SNL skit was mean and unfunny. I get that. In the nineties, Danny Dyer’s character in the film Human Traffic said some horrific things about me.
“At the time I was really hurt and upset, but I’ve met Danny many times and he’s lovely and we get on great. It’s hard to draw a line between comedy and art and real-life, sometimes. I hope she wasn’t too upset and is able to move past it. She’s a brilliantly talented actress..”
Peter has been embroiled in his own drama this week as many are unhappy with his role in new film Jafaican, for which the trailer dropped this week.
The movie, which features Peter as a Jamaican gangster, has divided the internet, with many disapproving of Peter’s character wearing a dreadlock wig and putting on a Jamaican accent for his feature film outing. Many have questioned “why is Jamaica always the butt of the joke” and some have even gone as far to brand the film racist.
The plot is teased as follows: “Desperate to secure £35,000 for his gran’s care, small-time crook Gazza jumps on a risky tip-off and hatches a daring scam. With just 21 days to pull it off, he must immerse himself in Jamaican culture to con his way between London and Jamaica.”
Peter shared the trailer with his fans on both Instagram and Twitter (X) on Tuesday but has since deleted his tweet amid a massive backlash. “This is actually so gross and I don’t know why Jamaica is always everybody’s punchline. Wishing the worst for everyone involved especially you Peter Andre,” one critic fumed.
