Peter Andre Opens Up About Past Insults from Danny Dyer After Jafaican Controversy

BBG News

In the 1990s, Peter Andre reminisced about feeling wounded by the harsh words Danny Dyer had spoken about him, following a wave of criticism he faced concerning the preview of his upcoming movie.

52-year-old Peter André, known for his hit “Mysterious Girl”, spoke about his disagreement with the actor from Rivals (concerning) Aimee Lou Wood and a recent Saturday Night Live skit featuring him.

31-year-old actress criticized the creators of the comedy program for broadcasting a skit that satirized her television series “The White Lotel,” featuring actress Sarah Sherman impersonating her character Chelsea.

In response to the program making fun of her teeth, Aimee spoke up. Later on, Sarah apologized by sending Aimee a beautiful arrangement of flowers.

In his latest article for his magazine, Peter expressed his thoughts based on a similar situation he’d encountered: ‘I noticed on Instagram that Aimee Lou Wood from The White Lotus thought the SNL sketch was harsh and not amusing.’

I understand your sentiment. Back in the ’90s, Danny Dyer’s character in the movie “Human Traffic” made some harsh comments about me. Initially, those words left me feeling hurt and upset. However, I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Danny on multiple occasions, and he comes across as a genuinely kind person.

It’s often tricky to distinguish acting from reality since the boundaries between comedy, art, and everyday life can blur at times. I sincerely hope that she managed to move on from whatever happened without being too affected, as she is an exceptionally gifted actress.

Following the backlash Peter faced for sporting dreadlocks and adopting a Jamaican accent in the Jafaican trailer that he shared on his social media platforms, this incident occurred on Wednesday.

The main character in the upcoming crime-comedy is played by the singer, with Gary Buckle being his role.

In order to carry out a fraud spanning both London and Jamaica, requiring approximately £35,000 to cover the expenses of caring for his grandmother, Gary (or Gazza) has 21 days to fully immerse himself in Jamaican culture.

After facing criticism from some fans who commented, “Does it feel like 1998?”, Peter quickly removed the tweet he posted that featured the trailer.

In the year 2025, I wasn’t anticipating seeing Peter Andre as the main character in a film titled JAFAICAN, sporting a dreadlock wig and portraying a Jamaican persona. Yet, here we find ourselves…

In the upcoming film, Peter Andre dons a wig styled as dreadlocks and portrays a character supposedly Jamaican. One might question if this is truly representative of our cultural landscape in the year 2025.

Why on Earth does YouTube suggest a movie trailer featuring Peter Andre, where the main character pretends to be a sham Jamaican? Is it somehow 1998 again?

As a devoted admirer, I couldn’t help but observe that Peter had removed his tweet. Intriguingly, this led me to wonder aloud, “Could it be that the project Jafaican is no more?

Despite initially receiving some negative feedback, the trailer garnered enthusiasm from other social media users, which shifted the overall sentiment ahead of the film’s release.

Over the weekend, Peter shared the official trailer of the movie “JAFAICAN” on his Instagram account, stating excitedly: “Here it is! The trailer for ‘JAFAICAN’ is finally out. Get ready, it’s hitting theaters soon!

He announced that the world premiere of his new movie is scheduled for May 9 at the Gold Coast Film Festival, and hinted that information about a UK premiere will be shared shortly.

Enthusiastic followers exclaimed: “Peter, that looks fantastic! Can’t wait to witness it!” or “Yes!!! Cannot wait for this, @peterandre!” (both convey the same sentiment)

‘I wish I could have watched this being filmed’

A contentious movie was released recently, following closely on the heels of Peter’s criticism against Disney’s modernized live-action Snow White, which he claimed led to job losses by substituting real dwarf actors for computer-generated imagery (CGI).

In his article for the magazine, he waded into the ongoing discussion about the movie, firmly stating: “I believe these timeless classics should be kept untouched.

In 2023, the release of the movie had to be postponed due to a significant rework following unfavorable reviews about the inclusion of seven non-dwarf magical beings. Instead, computer-generated imagery (CGI) was used to replace the original seven dwarves.

Peter mentioned that Disney has faced some debates due to their updated version of Snow White, as they opted for CGI to portray the magical beings instead of the traditional seven dwarves.

It’s worth noting that the initial tales and movies were deeply rooted in their respective eras, and indeed, some aspects may cause unease for modern viewers.

‘I believe that we should preserve traditional films in their original form. Modern movies can continue to be innovative, but replacing classic films with digital effects or displacing actors with CGI isn’t the answer.’
