Is Daniel Day-Lewis coming out of retirement?
nme.comDaniel Day-Lewis is reportedly coming out of retirement, with rumours swirling after he was spotted on a film set with Sean Bean.The actor announced his retirement from acting in 2017 ahead of the release of Phantom Thread, for which Day-Lewis received an Oscar nomination.Speaking with W Magazine at the time, Day-Lewis opened up about his decision to retire. “I dread to use the overused word ‘artist,’ but there’s something of the responsibility of the artist that hung over me,” he explained. “I need to believe in the value of what I’m doing.
The work can seem vital. Irresistible, even. And if an audience believes it, that should be good enough for me. But, lately, it isn’t.”It was reported earlier this year that Day-Lewis was still firmly “done” with acting, with filmmaker Jim Sheridan telling ScreenDaily: “I keep talking to him.
I’d love to do something with him again. He’s like everybody else. He opens up the streamers and there’s 7,000 choices, none of them are good.”DANIEL DAY-LEWIS has (temporarily?) un-retired.
