Acting retiree Daniel Day-Lewis: Rare foray back into the public eye

A most rare sight awaited passers-by who were in the right place at the right time in New York City recently. For the first time in years, three-time Oscar winner Daniel Day-Lewis (66), who announced his Hollywood retirement in 2017, was seen in public again. .

Day-Lewis hides his face under a colorful baseball cap and sunglasses. Apparently, the former star hasn’t gone to the hairdresser’s very often since leaving the big screen. A long, gray mane protrudes from under the peaked cap. A clear indication that the man really was the real Day Lewis: He is apparently still loyal to his notorious clamshell phone, which caused a stir and amusement years ago.

Speaking of fidelity: Other photos show the 66-year-old hand in hand with his longtime wife Rebecca Miller (60), with whom he has been married since 1996 and has two sons together. Together, they split their time between their homes in Annamoe, Ireland, and New York City, USA, according to the report. Until this week, however, the star had largely avoided being spotted on the street.

Seclusion instead of the limelight

In June 2017, the Hollywood star said through his spokeswoman that his unique career had come to an end: “Daniel Day-Lewis will no longer work as an actor. He is infinitely grateful to all his companions and the audience over the years. This is a private one decision and neither he nor his management will provide any further information.”

Almost six years later, contrary to the hopes of his fans, nothing has changed. In any case, Day-Lewis still doesn’t seem to miss the limelight. His last film was the drama “The Silken Thread” by Paul Thomas Anderson (52), which was released in Germany in early 2018.
