EastEnders Keanu actor Danny Walters looks completely different two years after quitting soap

EX EastEnders star Danny Walters looks a world away from his Albert Square alter ego Keanu Taylor, two years after leaving the BBC soap.

The 28 year-old Harlow born actor has grown out the buzzcut he sported to play the Walford rogue and now sports longer locks and stubble.

Danny posted a snap of himself on instagram showing his new look while on a break in Amsterdam.

Danny wore aviator shades and a beige gilet over a black shirt and jeans.

He accessorised with a black apple watch and beaded bracelets, a marked difference from the leather jackets and overalls mechanic Keanu sported.

He captioned the snap: “The moment you realise you’re a tourist in Amsterdam but dressed like @prattprattpratt from Jurassic World / a film director  #action”

Danny was joined on his Netherlands break by his reality TV contestant girlfriend Maddi Faircloth.

The actor went public with Maddi in January after dating for several months.

A source revealed to the MailOnline that he had been dating Shipmates favourite Maddi, who took part in the raunchy reality series in 2019.

“Danny is smitten with Maddi but wanted to keep the relationship low profile,” the insider revealed of their relationship, which sparked last year.

“It’s still early days but they enjoyed spending Christmas together and pals believe they’ll get even more serious. Everyone is chuffed to bits for them.”

Danny – who rose to fame on Benidorm – split from his long-term ex-girlfriend Lily Smith in 2019 after five years of dating to focus on his career.

Maddi, a data analyst who sells her own artwork, took part in Channel 4 series Shipmates in the same year, where she was seen partying on a luxury cruiseship.

Danny quit EastEnders in 2020 after playing Keanu Taylor for nearly three years.

During his stint on the soap, his character was involved in a shocking love triangle after he got both Sharon Watts and her husband Phil Mitchell’s daughter Louise pregnant.

He had an explosive exit storyline where he went on the run after Phil vowed to kill him.

His final scenes coincided with the soap’s explosive 30th anniversary, where scenes where filmed on a boat on the Thames.
