WTF Happened to Daniel Day-Lewis?

Of all the actors who employ the “method acting” technique, none is more famous (or infamous) than the great Daniel Day-Lewis. In a surprising move, Day-Lewis, at the height of his popularity, opted to retire from acting following the completion of his film with Paul Thomas Anderson, The Phantom Thread. Many figured Day-Lewis was saying this as the result of a long and taxing shoot, but in the years since, it’s appeared that the actor has stuck to his guns, not appearing in a film since. Is this the end of Daniel Day-Lewis’ screen career? WTF Happened?
In this episode of WTF Happened to this Celebrity, we examine Daniel Day-Lewis’ legendary run, from his early triumph in My Left Foot to his North American breakthrough in a run of modern classics that include In the Name of the Father and Michael Mann’s The Last of the Mohicans. Interestingly, Day-Lewis has retired before, with him quitting acting for three years after The Boxer, only to be lured back into acting by Martin Scorsese and Gangs of New York. His Bill “The Butcher” became one of his most memorable creations and kicked off another spectacular run that included his triumphant turn as Daniel Plainview in There Will Be Blood. While some of his choices seem odd, such as the decision to act in the tepid musical Nine, shortly after Day-Lewis won his third Oscar for starring in Steven Spielberg’s Lincoln. If his retirement is permanent, he will leave behind an incredible legacy.
This episode of WTF Happened to this Celebrity is written (with Brad Hamerly), narrated and edited by Taylor James Johnson.

When you do an oscar nominated performance every 5/6 years and then you also won 3 oscars, I think he did the right to retire. He already did so many iconic legendary iconic performances

[@TyyTheFlyGuy]

Agreed. He isn’t my favorite actor, that would probably be Gary Oldman or Val Kilmer (Tombstone, Willow, Real Genius, Kiss Kiss, Ban Bang) and Christian Bale (The Mechanist, Harsh Times, Equilibrium, American Psycho) when they were on a streak of good films before they lost their way. But he’s 100% one of the best actors of all time and nobody could dispute that- he just had a number of flicks that didn’t appeal to me outside of like There Will be Blood, Gangs of New York and The Last of the Mohicans.

[@Battleborn357]

You can't mention DDL without mentioning his performance in "The Last of the Mohicans". That was his greatest performance, before many knew who he was. And in my opinion, one of, if not the best movie ever made. Too bad it was filmed in the 90's, with so many other great movies, it was overshadowed by so many other popular, but not as great flicks.

[@EnglishActor]

@@Battleborn357 It's a great film. And, like always, Daniel Day-Lewis does an excellent job. But I wouldn't say it's the best work in his career. It's really hard to choose one particular performance because DLL is so different in every role. He's a class apart from other actors! I wish I could have witnessed the rise of his stardom in 1985 - when he appeared as Cecil Vyse and Johnny Burfoot in "A Room with a View" and "My Beautiful Laundrette", respectively. Some people were convinced that those role were played by two different thespians. What a talent! What a range! What a commitment to the craft! As for me, I personally admire his work as Christy Brown in "My Left Foot". It would be pretty deserving if someone claimed "My Left" Foot to be his greatest performance so far.

[@dawn8542]

This one is hard to let go. I love There Will be Blood and Gangs of New York. When I first heard him speak as himself, I was floored at how gentle he seemed.

@@ferociousgumby No, he had a young family. That's why he was ignoring his phone and mail, they had to physically take a copy of There Will Be Blood to his HOUSE, and were directed towards the pub up the street, which they invaded to beg him to read it. He had plenty enough money for life, never saught fame or celebrity. It took an amazing script and director to convince him to take another role, and he did it purely for the art of it. No doubt he by now regrets it - time spent away from one's children is always wasted, but perhaps he secured his grandchildren and great grandchildren's future by taking the job, so hopefully he won't regret it too much!

What a great homage to a truly remarkable actor. There are many method actors of merit but when I think of method actors he is the only one that comes to mind. His performances are so powerful that he is a crucible that forges the actors around him to become better at their craft. Paul Dano is a great example of this. When I saw his performance as the Riddler I could see shades of Lewis. His art will be missed, but I cannot think of anyone else who has elevated the craft of acting while delivering some of the most incredible performances of iconic characters in the 35 years. Cobble on, good Sir, cobble on…

[@5ringsaudits]

This was a much needed update. What I found most interesting was I had just recently did research into bespoke shoemaking. It is a true art and there are only a few original people left that know how to do it the way it was done originally, which by the way, was for the war effort, before machinery. You literally have shoes exactly tailored to your feet, I mean by stepping into a blank piece of foam, to several try ons, to a final product. I know he spent time in Italy and I am going to assume that was where he picked up interest in learning. Either that or he had a pair made and either was shocked at the price, six to seven grand, and thought, ok, I’m not paying that again, I’ll just pay for an apprenticeship. Great update and I found a few movies in there I haven’t seen in which I would like to. I never knew he married Arthur Millers daughter either, big fan of AM…

I believe him when he says he retired. Although, he is an artist and a human, therefore he cannot predict what will happen in his personal life. Say he reaches 73, realizing he no longer feels youth, he may seek out a script; or chances are a screenplay would present itself then to him.

Regarding THE AGE OF INNOCENCE, the assumption that no one watches that movie is just plain wrong! That film is artistic genius. It’s not just about Daniel, it’s the cinematography, the visual choices, artwork, how Scorcese highlights small, seemingly insignificant objects under gorgeous lighting, the opening credits juxtaposed against black lace with hot house flowers blooming behind it. I watched that film for the 1st time at the Ziegfeld Theater in NYC on a very large screen from a balcony seat and it was breath taking. Many of us continue to watch that film, it is NOT a throw away by any means.

A once in a generation technician.

[@michlo3393]

The reason DDL turned down the role in Philadelphia was because he knew that he'd have to actually contract HIV and die from AIDS in order to play the part of Andrew Beckett. There is this rare exclusivity about DDL that makes his mystique even more impressive. He's not in many films, he's brilliant and iconic in all of them, and oh by the way, he quit. It's like if Michael Jordan had stayed retired in 1993. Never played baseball, never came back, he just left the game and fucked off somewhere to go hunt pheasants or something.

[@blacknapalm2131]

*One of the things that makes him such an incomparable actor is how little he actually respects acting.* He find's it all a little ridiculous himself, he is not pompous about his talent or the art he creates, he knows he is just 'play acting' and not solving world hunger.

A lot of these facts are off about There Will Be Blood. (Which makes me think a lot of the facts about the other movies are wrong too). Kel O’Neil, the actor who was supposed to play the role of Eli, didn’t drop out cause of DDL. He was fired a couple weeks into filming because of friction with the director Paul Thomas Anderson. Also, he didn’t base the characters voice on anyone. PTA did send him recordings of people talking during the dust bowl era. Which was done because they were the only ones available that were, close to the correct era, and most importantly, made by people from that region. Which is obviously important because of the accents. However, DDL said multiple times that he didn’t base the voice on anyone specifically. I’m not gonna list every mistake, but there are more. Do better. 😭😂😆🤡

I don't want him to ever return to acting. There would be so much pressure on that film and on him. That film would have to be one of the greatest of all time in order to be live up to the expectations (let alone exceed it). And that pressure on him could be disastrous. Of course if he ever did return, I will pre-order my ticket and be there opening weekend :)
