Marching Powder marks the much-anticipated reunion of director Nick Love and his iconic leading man Danny Dyer, bringing fans back into the gritty adrenaline-fuelled world of The Football Factory. This time, Dyer plays Jack, a middle-aged football hooligan clinging to the chaos of his youth, despite a life that’s falling apart at the seams.
Jack’s world revolves around a messy cocktail of matchday violence, heavy drug use and family tensions. The whole thing comes to a head when he’s arrested after one clash too many. Given six weeks to clean up his act or face prison time, Jack is forced to confront his demons, navigate his crumbling marriage to Dani (Stephanie Leonidas) and dodge the influence of his hard-as-nails father-in-law.
HeyUGuys sat down for a chat with Dyer and Leonidas and Dyer to talk about the fun they had working on the movie. We got the chance to ask Dyer about his working relationship with director Nick Love and about his own career after leaving his long standing job on popular soap Easterners.
