Daniel Day-Lewis - 'Movies 101' Part 1

[@krislemoine609]

Best words to describe this man: humble, eloquent and talented.

[@rosh181992]

i come back to this interview when i need reminding art is real

[@jessica5497]

5 years later and...same.

[@davidthompson4951]

TRUE

[@jersonleon2782]

He is undeniably one of the best actors ever.

[@dosefiend213]

i fell out of acting for a few years until i watched that movie a few months ago. he completely revitalized my passion for the art and why i wanted to do it in the first place. it kills me that he takes 5 year intermissions between roles because i study his methods religiously. what a great inspiration :)

[@marcdellorusso180]

It's fucking crazy watching him in a movie like My Left Foot, or There Will Be Blood, and how he actually speaks in real life.

[@angeloreyes357]

Hes always pleasant yo watch..very classy but simple..genuine one of a kind..interviews or on movies...very charismatic talented actor..

[@HaleyAnneBechler]

Wow he has such a beautiful, poetic way of telling such a simple story. Such a cool guy!

[@caitlinjoy6332]

Daniel Day-Lewis is so articulate and fascinating to listen to!

[@carstereobandits]

I can't believe this same guy played Daniel Plainview, amazing.

[@parishnanda2571]

True

[@divinegracetakeyama1162]

I love how sincere he is and just says what he means and no macho or cool facade about him at all , and being a fan of his movies this interview was a delight to watch thanks : )

[@Roseyard]

Stunning! Love his personality, acting and smile!!

[@Loretotot]

he's so fucking handsome and talented

[@Villager1956]

Truly one of the greatest leading actors to ever grace the silver screen and seemingly a very intelligent and down to earth individual not jaded by his own talent and success. His upcoming performance as Lincoln will no doubt be something to behold.

[@howedelamitri]

This guy is so charismatic...i love to watch him talk

[@jaytouhey109]

Daniel could play an extra sitting in the top row of a sold out soccer stadium and win an Oscar, he's that fucking good. Love this man.

[@smileyscrubs2262]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@themoviecritic6996]

Truly one of the best, not just by talent. But his gratitude and love for the art

[@MemoryLaneCinema]

Good to have someone like him who is not whoring for fame. Most people in this world only cares about like like like me. Social media shit

[@nevin540]

It's incredible to watch this and think about all of his roles. He literally transforms himself.

[@PlusUltraAdrian]

I am studying acting in my school. Daniel Day-Lewis is one actor that I look up to when it comes to acting. I love his work and I hope one day, I will be as good as he is.

[@xTwistedFleshX]

He probably doesn't want to go on the Actor's Studio because he doesn't want all those personal questions asked and talking about his favorite curse word. I totally respect him for that; He just greatly values his privacy.

[@MayThereBeWorldPeace]

Daniel's performance in My Left Foot was spectacular. 🌟

[@rosh181992]

one word- LEGEND!

[@CarlaWay]

What a talented, charming and smart man. My favorite actor.

[@xxxabc123xx]

He's amazing

[@masoodqadir8450]

The best actor ever .... There will be blood , gangs of new york & he sounds like this in real life .... Strange !!!

[@Schofieldkid783]

Saw him in 2002 in Gangs of New York, when I was 6. He is the reason I make movies.

[@aileenvazquez4036]

great quality actor... love his acting so intense

[@dustinmcgladrey4821]

This is what I was looking for! Daniel Day-Lewis!

[@bethdovalsantos318]

I could listen to him speak all day.

[@gaelletricotgaelletricotco9632]

He is so incredibly charming in the outside but also his personality ! A true legend!!!

[@Luvie1980]

As an aspiring actress this interview with Daniel Day Lewis is very inspirational. Thank you for this interview.

[@GothEmoWC]

i just watched "There Will Be Blood," and Daniel Day Lewis gives such an amazing performence!

[@CobainLennon8094]

I've seen There Will Be Blood literaly 50 times. I can't get over how fucking great he is in it. Same with Gangs of New York. He blows everyone one away. He's The Beatles of acting. He's Michael Jordan of acting. Whatever term you want to use that says he's the very best. He is...

[@yanfey]

He could have won another Oscar for gangs of New York. He is at least as good as the pianist that year. But there are political reasons obviously in favor of pianist.

[@Gma00001]

Nowhere near the greatest. But he is undoubtedly one of them

[@CobainLennon8094]

@@Gma00001 Yeah he actually wasn't even really that good. Should have just been a TV actor. Who cares how many Academy Awards he won

[@Gma00001]

@@CobainLennon8094 You are correct then ! Day Lewis is the greatest because he won 3 Oscars!! Lmao

[@CobainLennon8094]

@@Gma00001 I didn't say that. But when you say "far" from the best. The fact he has 3 Oscars doesn't help your case. Id love to hear the giant list of actors ahead of him since he's far from the best

[@kathleenfranks6513]

I think he is probably greatest actor I have ever seen in my 72&1/2 years of life

[@ZIGMAN775]

The amount of passion this man has to play characters like William Cutting in Gangs of New York demands respect Truly my favorite actor

[@JMACXO]

Let's be honest, he is so adorable. Love him

[@niallmrph4]

I got to meet this guys yesterday in UCD and I must say hes actually really cool guys to talk to, was sweating bricks cause i was star struck but he was very down to earth,

[@brattette]

thank you! its so hard to find stuff on this guy that i haven't already seen. first because he rarely does stuff like this but also because he's not some "mainstream" and "commercial" hollywood actor - although i would hate it if he became that. he's much too good for that. he's incredible.

[@MultiT100]

one of the best actors of all time

[@debgolden4839]

Yeah he is good looking too. It's those darn green eyes.

[@jacuzzishoes]

this man is truly a spectacle. I hope he lives to be 110

[@Akawette]

scratch kind of, DDL is hotness incarnated & not the cheesy boring kind of hotness, he's staggeringly classy in a way that makes my ovaries hurt, lol

[@arishafatima3710]

Akawette I can't agree more.

[@yosoykarito]

I KNOW RIGHT? 🤤🤤

[@JDriscoll727]

The great thing about this man is that he takes so much time to become who he is supposed to portray. In Gangs of New York, the story goes he would go out on the streets in costume and pick fights with people in character. In "Lincoln" they would all call him "Mr. President" the whole time while filming. In "Last of the Mohicans" he went out into the wilderness and learned how to live. All of this was to make a truly one of a kind, authentic character.

[@victorcamelomusic]

This man doesn't get old.

[@debgolden4839]

He is truly the most wonderful and talented actor of this generation, if not in ALL generations. I JUST saw NINE and I could not believe he could do a musical. I mean honestly no one else could have done lincoln like he has done. He's just brilliant.

[@217potato]

The best actor of the last 25 years.

[@obiwashere]

he is the greatest actor of all time.(period)

[@gerberho]

he will be remembered more than likely as one of the top 3 greatest actors of all time along with brando and deniro, and i think about brando's interviews and how brando, with how immense his ego was, wouldnt even straightforwardly answer any questions, but day-lewis is such a down to earth, normal gentleman. One of the all-time greats long before his career is over.

[@rrrahmar]

These are the kind of actors who make me want to act. Everyone who wants to become an actor should see him at work!

[@monicaferreira1712]

Yes, Daniel Day Lewis great actor

[@lairdriver]

Hard to believe that this man is Daniel Plainview and William Cuddy..One of the greatest actors ever. After you see the man here and the extremes that he could convince people he is capable of...unbelievable..

[@gabhandebrun1871]

He played my uncle Christy Brown in my ieft foot,And is as nice in the flesh as he is here a gent and a great actor very funny and down to earth family man!! Much respect✊ 🇮🇪

[@destinyfave]

he is so fucking handsome & talented" gorgeous!

[@damoviedude1]

He looks like the kind of person you could sit in a quiet pub with, have a few pints of Guinness, and just have a nice civilised conversation with him.

[@Lubian-Ferrer]

Gracias por la traducción ! Me encanta Daniel !

[@SEC-e2n]

The way he can change the tone of his voice is most impressive.

[@mensahcarrelle]

amazing actor&man !!!

[@warwize]

Nothing wrong with speaking eloquently and being flamboyant in his case since he seems like a compassionate and good person.

[@adrianlindsaylohan]

Look at pictures of him from the 80's, he was godly!

[@MissPriestess11]

what a delicious intelligent man!

[@ChairZomg]

an absolute genius.

[@gstacks814]

Daniel day Lewis, Christoph waltz & Gary oldman are the best actors of this generation

[@FranticAnimations]

Remove Waltz and you'll be right.

[@ChihebAceZero]

FranticAnimations What's up with Christoph Waltz? he's one of the best actors out there.

[@FranticAnimations]

Chiheb Lebbar He's great but best actor of the generation along with Oldman and Day-Lewis? No way.

[@gstacks814]

FranticAnimations his Oscars would suggest otherwise , but you're entitled to your opinion

[@FranticAnimations]

gstacks814 Oscars don't mean shit.

[@mamadoritos]

oh my god his voice is hypnotising!!!! and he has tattoos (L) hahahaha the best actor ever!!

[@bennyvega100]

DDL is an absolute acting genius

[@marinlille]

this interviewer is a pro

[@bfan82]

i'm really knew to Mr. Lewis, only seen Blood and Gangs...I had NO idea what this man's actual voice sounded like and i thought he was actually gruff...WOW...i can see now how damn good an actor he is

[@sohailajaved3278]

What a man. Remarkable.

[@autobot69000]

the best part of Gangs of New York was watching Lewis chew scenery. so much fun. when he goes "you tell young vallon, i'll paint paradise square with his blood! 2 coats!! I'll FESTOON my bed chambers with his guts!!"

[@DeepScreenAnalysis]

he's won several Oscars for leading actor, mate.

[@anje7]

Thanks for your help.

[@leahjimenez8070]

love him.

[@peterwatsonkent]

true brilliance!!

[@DavidLukens]

what a beautiful animal.

[@jim31589]

am a completely straight guy, and i think DDL is hot.

[@derekfisher1341]

i think this dude gets an oscar everytime he makes a movie

[@amoghpant]

thank you so much

[@theking0duress]

Daniel plainview!!

[@JacobWood828]

Thank you!

[@FeelGoodTimeNet]

Awesome guy...

[@HappyFunTimesEtc]

Just about everything about that man is incredibly attractive. And I'm a straight dude.

[@mariannabalti3809]

great actor!!

[@samahnadji6741]

Great movie in fact!

[@kristinj1981]

Just don't hand that man a bowling ball.

[@TehBird]

i wish i had his voice

[@sasykitten]

Fucking legend. one day I’ll be in the same room as him.

[@nessihoi]

His voice. His accent. The whole goddmn guy...... AAAAAAGH.

[@sonia4556]

he is so handsome!

[@therabidrebel]

@RevolutionFist yes he is, i herd in gangs of new York, he stayed in character between takes and took butcher lessons. even when he had pneumonia he refused to wear a warmer coat or seek treatment as it was not in keeping with the period of the film. this man is a true actor.

[@timchildsmovies]

THE BEST!!!

[@MrKingpin239]

I don't know what the word is but he's not vain at all which is kind of cool

[@reece32100]

I see your point. Whenever I let someone borrow Gangs though I have a little note inside that says they should look up one of these interviews just to see how he really is so thay can better understand the transformation. I think he was robbed of that oscar too.

[@Marjomiffy]

kind of?? Woman, this man is the pinneacle of sexiness :)

[@savvysearch]

@iloveneytiri Brando did some hammy performances. He definitely wasn't a consistent actor. But Brando was an experimenter. And more often than should be allowed in any actor's career, he gave plenty of monumental game-changing performances. His monologue in Apocalypse Now is among the greatest ever filmed. And it's not only Americans who say this. Many great british actors are his greatest fans. He brought a realism to acting that hadn't been seen in American or British movies at that time.

[@stephypeter7542]

His smile ohhhh

[@filolovejoy]

I think this current generation of actors are absolutely amazing, from DDL to Depp, dicaprio, wahlberg, to Ledger (rip), to Brad Pitt, to the amazing Gary Oldman. there are many others, but these guys really stand out. unlike Rock music, boxing, live or filmed TV entertainment, which has gone so far south its embarrassing, these guys have taken acting to a whole new level. Bravo.

[@PackCorey]

If I ever became an actor, I would want to have the acting talents of Daniel-Day Lewis, Johnny Depp, Robert Downey Jr., Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, and Denzel Washington rolled into one. I would want to be the kinda actor that gets lost into his roles and actually become those people and doesn't stop being those people until the day after the last day of shooting on and off camera. When people see me on screen or on TV, they wouldn't see me, they would see my character and believe I was them!

[@barbarachieppo8290]

Daniel looks so good here

[@JDriscoll727]

He played himself in everyone of those movies. Even movies like Benny and June, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, and Whats Eating Gilbert Grape, (and even Chocolate), he played a slightly bizarre/awkward character. In everyone you listed he did the same, and in real life he is kinda awkward and has some odd mannerisms. In no way am I say he is not a good actor, I think he is great, but Lewis plays a range of people (even Broadway), fully devoting himself to the role like none other.

[@gorilla1711]

"huge" is not enough for this man

[@aveyowyns]

He actually based his accent in 'There Will be Blood' on a real person and he sounds EXACTLY like the person he imitated.
