In a recent series of photos, he grabbed bags of what looked to be marijuana for an online shoot. 

The green substance is wrapped in an airtight, sealed silver package.

He wrote: “No case in the Golden Triangle.” 

A friend commented with a series of what looked to be smoke emojis.

There's no indication Daniel had taken any drugs.

The Sun has contacted a representative for Daniel for comment. 

Other snaps show Daniel sitting on a motorbike atop a mountain, posing in a jungle, near a temple and with friends on a night out. 

Known to locals as Sop Ruak, the Golden Triangle is the English-language nickname for the hilly, forested area in the north of Thailand, where it meets Laos and Myanmar, and is a travelling hotspot. 

In 2018, Thailand became the first Asian nation to legalise medical cannabis, but smoking weed can still attract penalty or imprisonment under public nuisance laws.

Daniel now regularly plays rugby for teams including Ealing Rugby Club.

The snap comes after Daniel got into hot water in 2017 for chanting ‘ketamine’ at a music festival in a leaked video.

Then 17, The Sun revealed that the actor was filmed wearing a colourful floral garland and smiling as he joined in with revellers shouting out the name of the Class B drug at BoomTown Fair in Winchester.

The year before when he was 16, Daniel was at the centre of an underage drinking storm after he was filmed chugging a beer bong at Reading Festival.

He was filmed on his knees drinking from the bong while crowds around him cheered.

Daniel played Ben on the BBC show from 2007-2014, bagging the role when he was just seven-years-old.

At the height of his acting career, Daniel won a Children’s BAFTA in 2010 for his role in Just William.
