Personal life

Outside of football, Fox likes to relax by watching films, with comedies and thrillers are his film genre preference. His parents resided in Cheshire and has a younger brother, who is in the RAF, and a sister.{{cite news|title=Inside Write: Danny Fox's column|url=http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/sport/football/football-news/inside-write-danny-foxs-column-3092441|publisher=The Coventry Telegraph|date=18 September 2008|access-date=6 September 2016|archive-date=7 September 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160907142133/http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/sport/football/football-news/inside-write-danny-foxs-column-3092441|url-status=live}}

In December 2014, Fox dyed his beard yellow in effort to raise money for charity called Cystic Fibrosis Foundation following his friend's death, who suffered from Cystic Fibrosis.{{cite news|title=Nottingham Forest defender Danny Fox dyes his beard bright yellow for charity|url=http://www.nottinghampost.com/nottingham-forest-defender-danny-fox-dyes-beard/story-25734071-detail/story.html|publisher=Nottingham Post|date=18 December 2014|access-date=7 September 2016|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150625134041/http://www.nottinghampost.com/Nottingham-Forest-defender-Danny-Fox-dyes-beard/story-25734071-detail/story.html|archive-date=25 June 2015|df=dmy-all}} Because of this, Fox was appointed as the ambassadorial role for the Cystic Fibrosis charity.{{cite web|url=http://www.nottinghamforest.co.uk/news/article/2016-17/nottingham-forest-danny-fox-city-hospital-visit-3227375.aspx|title=Danny puts smiles on faces|publisher=Nottingham Forest F.C.|date=5 August 2016|access-date=7 September 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160805143241/http://www.nottinghamforest.co.uk/news/article/2016-17/nottingham-forest-danny-fox-city-hospital-visit-3227375.aspx|archive-date=5 August 2016 |url-status=live}}
