Vinnie Jones makes theatre debut in Only Fools and Horses Musical
Actor, presenter, footballer and now... theatre star!
Vinnie Jones is dusting off his vocal chords and swapping his hobnail boots for dancing shoes this Christmas, as he makes his on-stage debut in Only Fools and Horses the Musical.
The ex-footballer and all-round tough guy is best known for appearing in Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Netflix's The Gentlemen, and of course She's The Man, but now he sets his sights on the London stage.
Jones will be appearing for a limited-time only as Danny Driscoll in the iconic musical, alongside Paul Whitehouse as Grandad. Also joining them are Sam Lupton as Del Boy, Tom Major as Rodney.
Jones said: "I’ve always been a fan of Only Fools and Horses, and when my longtime friend Phil McIntyre called me up and said he was interested in me playing the role of Danny Driscoll, I told him to count me in.
"The director CJay Ranger and her creative team are great and I’m excited to contribute to the legacy of the show."
