The $30 million toe in the water

Danny Dyer, known for his roles in The Sweeney and Live And Let Dyers, has recently participated in the Disney+ show Rivals, where he bared all in a sex scene with co-star Katherine.

Speaking to the Radio Times ahead of transmission, Dyer joked about baring all, saying, 'I go full frontal in this series, if they keep it in the edit. It's a night shoot, and it was cold, and I'd better not say any more.'

Why 4,000 unsold units became the prize

While Dyer's acting has been the focus of attention, his fans may notice that his physique looks slightly fuller after he put on a stone by gorging on 12 sausages a day during filming.

The show's producers have not commented on Dyer's diet, but it's clear that his character's passion for sausages has been a key part of the show's success.

An echo of Sydney's 2024 institutional buy-up

The latest episode of Rivals , released on Friday, showed Dyer's character Freddie Jones indulge in a very passionate tryst with love interest Lizzie Vereker.

Both Dyer and Katherine stripped nude to film the sex scene in a swimming pool, with Dyer previously joking he was worried how he would look on screen because it was 'cold' during filming.

Who is the unnamed buyer?

The show's producers have not commented on who will be the next to bare all, but it's clear that Dyer's willingness to show solidarity with his female co-stars has been a key part of the show's success.

As Dyer said, 'Nobody's under pressure to be naked if they don't want to, but if a woman's getting her breasts out, why shouldn't I get it all out? I've got breasts as well, to be fair!'

Broader context

The latest episode of Rivals is part of a larger trend of shows pushing the boundaries of on-screen nudity.

With the rise of streaming services, audiences are increasingly demanding more explicit content, and shows like Rivals are happy to oblige.

Open questions

One question that remmains unanswered is who will be the next to bare all on the show.

Will it be another male cast member ,or will the show continue to push the boundaries of on-screen nudity by featuring female characters in more explicit scenes?

Only time will tell, but one thing is certain:Rivals is a show that is not afraid to take risks and push the boundaries of what is acceptable on screen.
