Daniel Day-Lewis Announces Retirement From Acting (New York Times)
Surely Exit Stage Left Foot?
Mourning Ireland, thank you!
Ah here!
…maybe he’s getting into character again…Elvis has left the building…
Leslie Dart … Daniel Day Luas …
Nice spot!
He’s off to cut keys in Moroco.
at least he said goodbye
He never liked being in Plainview.
Auntie Annie made the bomb and Mother Theresa planted it
v. good!
I’d say its one of the big ones, celebrity lifestyles
ah lay’ve him alone
if I’d his success behind me
and his wedge to sit back on
sur I’d be long gone off the scene meself
I hope he has a long and happy retirement.
I find it a bit odd an actor has to announce his retirement?
Is this a done thing?
Hopefully it’s not for any serious health reasons.
I had the same worry.
Yeah, I hope he’s good. It does seem unusual.
He’s 60 ffs – let the man retire.
You want to squeeze another fifteen yars out of him….for something he didn’t do?
It’s all part of maintaining the image he projects in many people’s minds as the greatest actor of his generation. Most other actors are more than happy to go along with it.
Tough work keeping it going and avoiding the gossip and tabloid scandals but it’s arguably his greatest performance.
:-J
The best actor of the last 50 years, I use to think. Don’t remember a bad film.
You haven’t seen Nine then!
No I haven’t actually, but one in a whole career is pretty good.
He’s been in a rut for a while. Off the beaten track. He’s always been Daniel Day Luas to us Dubs,
No he hasn’t.
I wrote your stupid rootle-tootling Giuseppe name in the ground, and I wee-wee’d on it
rootle-tootling , excellent, am going to incorporate that into my everyday
“My Beautiful Laundrette” was in ’85, I almost forgot it was Daniel Day Lewis, until I reminded myself. Whatever’s up with him, he’ll be missed.
Was looking forward to seeing him in Oliver Stone’s Trump biopic. Oh well.
Ah jaysus, is he not well in himself?
A strange, strange young man – but an actor of superb quality. Your old Sheik is not qualified to speculate on his reasons – it could be sheer boredome. I can only wish him well.
*argh typo – boredom.
I think he overacts. He never truly fleshes out his character and always manages to make them seem somewhat one-dimensional .He can be rather tedious to watch. Casey Affleck is a far superior actor.
Get away outta dat.
You’re trying too hard. Trolling shouldn’t be that difficult
He’s an amazing actor.
Cate Blanchett is an amazing actor.
may fahr was an innocent mon.
i’ll nat die in prison laike may fahr..
good nordie accent for a tan, in fairness.
I’ve been practising those lines and am scaring myself with the intensity of my own acting.
see how you get on with this. the medal scene:

I met Gerry Conlon (RIP), back-stage area of The Fleádh in Finsbury Park, he sounded altogether as you wrote.
I hear he’s going to be concentrating on perfecting his hulk shakes.
I’m looking at those photos but I can’t recall him playing the part of Mickey Flanagan, Paul Rudd or Morrissey?
lol…
:-J
Hair today, gone tomorrow
He’s clearly got a bald oscar left in him
