Danny Dyer will reportedly front a new documentary series about masculinity later this year, with the rumoured project having been described as "hugely sensitive".
The actor, 45 - known for his role as Mick Carter on EastEnders, which he left last year - is said to have signed up to present the two-part project for Channel 4.
The project will reportedly see the presenter travel around the UK to find out whether men have lost their identity as traditional gender roles become consigned to the past.
It's said that he'll also delve into the subject of toxic masculinity, and explore why so many young men are struggling with their mental health and relationships with women.
The Sun reports the two-part documentary will air later this year, with it adding that Danny will front the project - which the outlet claims is titled 21st Century Man.
It's also been claimed that he will meet victims of domestic abuse as part of the TV show and he's reportedly already met families who have been affected by trauma.
Discussing the rumoured project, a source told the outlet that it will be "new ground" for Danny and added that viewers will "see a whole new side to him" through it.
The source further commented about Danny: "He'll still possess his usual bravado, but these are serious issues he's exploring and he conducts himself accordingly."
The source told the outlet: "The look into toxic masculinity is particularly deep. It's a hugely sensitive documentary all round."
Although best known as an actor, Danny has experience working on documentaries. He previously fronted Danny Dyer's Deadliest Men, which ran from 2008 until 2009.
More recently, he hosted the two-part series Danny Dyer's Right Royal Family in 2019 and last year he filmed a travel series for E4 with his eldest daughter Dani Dyer, 26.
