Danny Dyer looked worlds apart while wearing a long brunette wig and a bushy mustache, as he appears in the new trailer for the raunchy Disney+ drama Rivals.
The former EastEnders actor stars as Freddie Jones, a self-made electronics millionaire, in the new series.
Danny is seen in the trailer wearing a dark tweed blazer with a blue open-collar shirt before donning a tuxedo in another scene.
The upcoming film adaptation of Jilly Cooper’s iconic novel features an all-star cast including Aiden Turner, David Tennant, Emily Atack, Katherine Parkinson, Oliver Chris and Claire Rushbrook.
Disney+ released the extravagant trailer on Tuesday – and it looks like there are plenty of racy scenes.

Aidan plays intelligent TV presenter Declan O’Hara, who is convinced to leave the BBC for independent channel Corinium, but finds himself disappointed.
His character is married to Maud, played by fellow Irish actor Victoria Smurfit.
Aidan has also undergone a transformation and is sporting a distinctive mustache to play TV presenter Declan O’Hara.
Declan is described as fiercely intellectual, with an even fiercer temper, and is wooed by Tony to the BBC’s Corinium TV.
Set in 1986, the story follows the cutthroat world of independent television, including the tense rivalry between Rupert Campbell-Black (Hassell) and the ambitious and egotistical controller of Corinium Television, Lord Tony Baddingham (Tennant).
More iconic characters from the drama have been revealed in this second set of images. Sarah Stratton (Emily) is described as ambitious and not afraid to use her looks to reach the top.
She is married to Deputy Prime Minister Paul Stratton (Rufus Jones) who is in the grip of a midlife crisis – everyone knows it.
According to Disney+, Rivals is a “brightly naughty rollercoaster ride, steamy in its love stories and packed with larger-than-life characters.”

More iconic characters from the drama have been revealed in this second set of images, introducing Sarah Stratton (Emily), described as ambitious and unafraid to use her looks.
The streaming service continues to insist that it offers a “2020 lens to the ’80s” and offers a “pure exploration of a complicated moment in British history, where class, race, gender, wealth and sexual liberation made for a very privileged minority there were no limits to what they could achieve’.
Following the announcement, executive producer and Rivals author Jilly Cooper said, “I’m completely enchanted to announce our all-star lineup for Rivals.”
“With some of the best acting talent the British Isles has to offer, I couldn’t have dreamed of a better ensemble cast.”
“I can’t wait to be on set and see how they bring to life the characters I love so much.” ‘From the moment we met Alex, we knew he would be the perfect embodiment of my all-time hero, the iconic, feisty, ruthless and devastatingly handsome Rupert Campbell-Black. Viewers get a treat!’.
During a recent interview with Watch To Watch, Aidan joked about his performance for the role, saying: ‘I look like I’m from circa 1975, but it’s for Jilly Cooper’s Rivals, which I’m filming until October.
‘I hadn’t read Rivals before. It seems very British, so it wasn’t really on my radar, but it’s really nice. But after we’ve packed everything up, the tache will definitely go away and I’ll be taking a break – I’d love a big holiday!’
The series will debut later this year on Hulu in the US and on Disney+ in other countries.
