This is a private decision and neither he nor his representatives will make any further comment on this subject.”

      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.

            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.

    He’s been in a rut for a while. Off the beaten track. He’s always been Daniel Day Luas to us Dubs,

    I wrote your stupid rootle-tootling Giuseppe name in the ground, and I wee-wee’d on it

    “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.

  15. Sheik Yahbouti

    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.

      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.

    may fahr was an innocent mon.
    i’ll nat die in prison laike may fahr..

    good nordie accent for a tan, in fairness.

    1. Andyourpointiswhatexactly?

      I’ve been practising those lines and am scaring myself with the intensity of my own acting.

      I met Gerry Conlon (RIP), back-stage area of The Fleádh in Finsbury Park, he sounded altogether as you wrote.

  18. Bertie "the inexplicable pleasure" Blenkinsop

    I’m looking at those photos but I can’t recall him playing the part of Mickey Flanagan, Paul Rudd or Morrissey?
