It gives you a bit of kudos in your first week at school when you can say you have been in a music video.

Five-year-old Danny Price has just started at Boughton Monchelsea Primary School and won’t be short of playground chat after landing a starring role in rap star Mike Skinner’s new video.

The youngster beat off competition from dozens of other children to play the son of the star, who performs under stage name The Streets, in new single Everything Is Borrowed.

It is not the first taste of fame for Danny who was in a Huggies advert when he was just three months old.

He’s since climbed the ranks to film, with a part in Trial and Retribution, and has now made his debut in the pop world.

His mother Cheryl said: “He’s been a very busy boy, he just absolutely loves it.”

She said Danny instantly hit it off with the Brummie rapper who made a special effort to play with the youngster during takes.

She said: “It was a fun day and Mike was so lovely to Danny.

“In between filming he would sit down on the pavement with him and talk about superheroes, so he really got on Dan’s level.

Perhaps Skinner, 29, spotted star potential in the youngster. Rumour has it the rapper was Danny’s age when he first started making music.

But Danny’s aspirations are not fame and fortune but to be a policeman when he grows up.

Mrs Price said: “This is just a bit of fun for him, but he loves everything he’s done.

“The minute he says to me I don’t want to do it, that’ll be it, but at the moment when I say we’re off to London he’s so excited.

“It’s been so good for him. it’s good for his social skills and I think it does him good as a person so I’ve kept going with it.”

Danny was allowed to take a souvenir from the set and kept his pyjamas and a huge fire truck from the bedroom he had in the video.

Mrs Price said the whole family including sister Mikey, 15, brother Sammy, two, and father Mark, all of Heath Road, are very proud of him.

She said: “We’ve kept everything, the latest thing was a cornflakes packet he’s on. We’ve got DVDs and cuttings - we’ll have a big collection to hand over to him someday.”
