Daniel Day-Lewis – The Perfectionist Who Quit With No Warning

Daniel Day-Lewis is widely considered one of the greatest actors in cinema history, with three Academy Awards for Best Actor. His method acting was legendary, but so were his long breaks between films. In 2017, after wrapping Phantom Thread, he issued a brief statement: he was done with acting for good. No scandals, no health issues – he simply decided he had said everything he wanted to say on screen. He vanished into private life, pursuing a passion for shoemaking in Italy. Hollywood hasn’t seen him since.
