Three-time Oscar winner Daniel Day-Lewis is ending his retirement from acting to star in his son’s directorial debut.
The 67-year-old British actor quit acting after starring in Paul Thomas Anderson’s 2017 film Phantom Thread, and has largely stayed out of public life since.
But he is now set to star in a film titled Anemone, directed by his son Ronan Day-Lewis, US independent production company Focus Features confirmed on Tuesday.
The film will feature actors including Sean Bean, Samantha Morton, Samuel Bottomley and Safia Oakley-Green, and is currently shooting in Manchester.
Father and son wrote the screenplay, which “explores the intricate relationships between fathers, sons and brothers, and the dynamics of familial bonds”, Focus Features said.
How many times is that now?
How many retirement tours have the Rolling Stones had?
Ending retirement to help get his son ahead in da industry maybe 🤷🏼♀️
Definitely. Although he’s a great actor and I can’t think of a bad movie he’s been in, so I’m ok with it.
He seems to be super choosy about his projects and the article says he co-wrote it with his son so I’m thinking it’ll probably be another great one.
