Danny Dyer is surprised to be considered sexy as he's "growing a pair of t*ts".
The 36-year-old actor is up for Sexiest Male at this year's British Soap Awards - for his role as pub landlord Mick Carter in 'EastEnders' - and he admits the nod is amusing as he doesn't think much of his appearance.
He quipped: "As for Sexiest Male - I'm pushing 40, I've got a beer belly and I'm growing a pair of t*ts. So to every pot-bellied man out there, there's hope for you all!"
Danny is nominated for several awards at the bash, including Best Actor and Spectacular Scene for the moving scene between Mick and his son Johnny (Sam Strike) in which the youngster comes out as gay.
The former movie hardman is "proud" to represent 'EastEnders', but is slightly nervous about being nominated.
He told Digital Spy: "I'm passionate about it and I'd want to win it for us as a collective, rather than as a personal thing.
"I'm quite excited and slightly anxious about it. I think the anxiety comes from the fact that I've only been in 'EastEnders' for six months, so to be nominated for Best Actor is slightly overwhelming."
Danny also reveals he feels guilty that he was nominated for Best Actor over Adam Woodyatt, who has acted out an array of emotions following the death of his character Ian Beale's daughter, Lucy.
The actor added: "I think his big episodes just aired a little bit too late in the season, but he definitely deserves an award over me and I'll be the first to admit that."

Emily Blunt broke Tom Cruise's spirit.
The 'Edge of Tomorrow' stars were shooting scenes for their new film in a small studio while wearing heavy body suits and harnesses, and she's admitted she forced the famously enthusiastic actor to admit he was struggling too.
She said: "I remember this day we were getting dropped out of this drop ship and the set was so small and we were boiling in these huge suits and there was no space and people were crashing into each other.
"And we're hanging in these harnesses with the full weight of the 85 pound suit and our body weight on our groin, which is not fun, and we're just hanging there and I look at Tom and I can just see that insatiable positivity starting to unravel.
"I looked at him and he was pouring with sweat and I just whispered, 'This really sucks', and he just looked at me and went, 'It's a challenge'. And I said, 'Tom, it sucks!' And he said, 'Alright it sucks!' I broke him. I broke his spirit."
The 31-year-old actress did all her own stunts for the sci-fi film and thinks Cruise, despite being known for always doing his own, also found it difficult to keep up with the action.
Speaking on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live', she said: "I did train a lot. You kind of want to do your own [stunts] as well so that he's [Cruise] not the only one. He was like, 'Em it's going to be hard. You've got to do your own stunts'.
"It was a challenging shoot. The heavy armoured suits, they weighed like between 85 and 100 pounds. His suit weighed about a hundred pounds, and I think this movie might be the hardest movie he's ever done."

Aaron Taylor-Johnson cried when he watched 'Godzilla'.
The 23-year-old actor stars as military man Lieutenant Ford Brody in the science fiction monster film, but he's confessed he was brought to tears by his co-stars' performances.
He said: "The first 10-15 minutes, the performance from Bryan Cranston and Juliette Binoche, I was trying to suppress and hold back tears.
"I didn't know whether I was allowed to cry, I was like, 'This is a monster movie but I can't really stop this!'"
The 'Anna Karenina' star - who is married to his 'Nowhere Boy' director Sam Taylor-Wood - admits he was hoping to watch the film for the first time in privacy, as he gets embarrassed watching himself on-screen.
He told Collider.com: "I preferred to see it just me and my wife but I can never do that without everyone going, 'OK, so you're going to have a screening with the managers and agents', and they're all behind you and you think, 'I just want to watch this on my own'.
"I feel like I just kind of need to digest it for myself."
Taylor-Johnson also revealed that despite initially being sceptical about starring in a remake of 'Godzilla' when he was approached by the director, he couldn't be more proud of the end result.
He added: "I do find it really hard to watch myself but I think, ultimately, I was able to see it in the bigger picture and I was hugely thrilled and happy.
"I'm super proud of this movie and am so happy I sat down with Gareth [Edwards] on that day and said yes."

Elle Fanning has broke into a golf club.
The 16-year-old actress has confessed her and her friend like to break into the prestigious Pebble Beach Resorts' Golf Links club in California when they're on school holidays, and admits that although it's a challenge to get on to the course, they continue to do it every year.
She said: "Every spring break my best friend and I, we go to Carmel and we break into Pebble Beach - the golf course.
"It's kind of like a tradition. The first time we did it her brother was with us and her brother's friend and they were like, 'It's fine', because you're literally on the beach. All you have to do ... Well you have to have to climb a cliff, and then you're there."
The 'Maleficent' star went on to explain that the first time they made it up the cliff they came face-to-face with golfers who were too engrossed in their game to tell them off, but the second time they weren't so lucky.
Speaking on 'The Late Show with David Letterman', she said: "We got there and there were all these old guys playing and they saw us but they were focused on the game so we made it all the way to this tree, which is a long walk, and took some pictures.
"But then the second time we did it, her brother wasn't there so it was just me and my friend and we climbed up there and they saw us and told us to get down. But we'll always try."

David Beckham wore a pair of "really small" swimming trunks to impress Victoria Beckham.
The retired soccer superstar, who launched his new swimwear line in collaboration with H&M in London last night (14.05.14), admits that before he married the former Spice Girl he took her on holiday and donned a pair of tiny swimming shorts to try and woo her.
He said: "When I first started going out with Victoria and we went away for the first time I remember I took a pair of small, tight, dark blue Gucci trunks with me - I was obviously trying to impress her.
"They were really small, but they worked!"
David - who has children Brooklyn, 15, Romeo, 11, Cruz, nine, and two-year-old daughter Harper with Victoria - made a number of celebrity friends including Tom Cruise and Eva Longoria while living in the US when he played for Los Angeles Galaxy.
But when he came face-to-face with Hollywood legend Jack Nicholson while watching an LA Lakers basketball game he found himself lost for words.
Quizzed on whether he's ever felt star-struck, he told GQ magazine: "I think when I ran into Jack Nicholson in a toilet. We were at a Lakers game in the Staples Centre and he went to walk in the toilet as I was walking out. He turned to me and said, 'Alright David?' I was blown away by the fact he even knew who I was!"

Robin Thicke has penned a song to help win back Paula Patton.
The 'Blurred Lines' hitmaker is said to have written a heartfelt track, titled 'Get Her Back', on which he begs his estranged wife for another chance.
The R&B star apparently intends to debut the track during his performance at the Billboard Music Awards.
According to TMZ, lyrics discuss how Robin is determined to "make it right" between the pair following the breakdown of their eight-year marriage in February amid rumors the R&B singer had cheated.
Memorable lyrics include, "I gotta get her, go get her back / I gotta treat her right / I gotta cherish her for life", and "I should've kissed you longer / I should've held you stronger / And I'll wait for forever for you".
This isn't the first time Robin has pleaded with the 'Fast & Furious' actress, who is the mother of his three-year-old son Julian, having preached about forgiveness on more than one occasion during recent concerts.
The couple began dating when they were teenagers and seemed rock solid until Robin's career went global last year.
The 37-year-old star might still be in with a chance, however, since Paula admitted earlier this month she would always hold a torch for her childhood sweetheart.
She confessed: "We've known each other since we were teenagers. All I can tell you is there's a deep love there - always was, and always will be."

Julia Roberts' half-sister Nancy Motes' death has been officially declared a suicide.
The Los Angeles Coroner's Office announced the judgement on Wednesday (14.05.14) following various toxicology tests and an autopsy.
Officials revealed Nancy, 37, was discovered drowned in her bath on February 9 after taking various substances, which have not been named. Her body was found with a note.
This ruling will be followed by an autopsy report published later in May which will contain an inventory of the drugs she had taken leading up to her death.
Following the ruling, Motes' fiancé John Dilbeck told the New York Daily News newspaper: "I want everyone to know Nancy was not a drug addict. This verdict from the coroner is more proof of that. I'm still suffering and in mourning, and this is one of the worst nightmares anyone can imagine."
Nancy allegedly had a difficult relationship with her half-sister Julia which had gotten worse in recent years.
The 'August: Osage County' star admitted last month her sibling's shock death had hit her and their family hard
The 46-year-old actress - who shared a mother, Betty Lou, with Nancy - said: "It's just heartbreak ... You don't want anything bad to happen to anyone, but there are so many tragic, painful, inexplicable things in the world. But [as with] any situation of challenge and despair, we must find a way, as a family. It's so hard to formulate a sentence about it outside the weepy huddle of my family. ... Meditation or chanting or any of those things can be so joyous and also very quieting."
