The unlikely pairing came together at BST Hyde Park over the weekend Danny Dyer has spoken about his recent collaboration with Robbie Williams on stage at BST Hyde Park for a version of Blur ’s ‘Parklife’. The unlikely pairing came together midway through Williams’ set on Saturday (July 6) , with Dyer singing the cockney spoken-words parts of the 1994 song, first made famous by actor Phil Daniels. Speaking about the collaboration, Dyer told Radio X that he was approached by Williams during a recent Soccer Aid event.
“I was like, what? Are you sure about this?'” said Dyer. “And he went, ‘I’ve never been more sure of anything,’ So I said yes, and then I thought, ‘Oh now I’ve got to do it.’ “So, you know.
I love the tune. I love Robbie and we done it. We done it.
It was great. It was a real moment. I think it went down really well, you know.
” He added: “Once I started I was sweet. And I listened to the song a lot. You’ve got to prepare, you know and I just channelled my inner Phil Daniels.
” Dyer had also joined Williams during the show’s opening video sequence, in which the ‘Angels’ singer was seen marching backstage, flanked by the Football Factory actor, as well as Supergrass ’ Gaz Coombes . When asked if he was nervous about the team up, he added: “Oh God yeah. I can’t lie to you.
This is well out of my comfort zone. I’ve done some nutty things over the years, I’ve done a lot of theatre of course..
. You know, I didn’t come.
