Daniel Day-Lewis informed W Journal in 2017 that he meant to retire.
“I need to believe in the value of what I’m doing,” he stated, including {that a} “great sadness” overcame him whereas he was engaged on “Phantom Thread.” “The work can seem vital. Irresistible, even. And if an audience believes it, that should be good enough for me. But, lately, it isn’t.”

The actor introduced his retirement in June of that 12 months, earlier than the movie hit theaters, and informed W Journal that he “knew it was uncharacteristic to put out a statement,” however that he needed “to draw a line” — since apparently his earlier efforts to stop have been all the time foiled.
“I didn’t want to get sucked back into another project,” he added. “All my life, I’ve mouthed off about how I should stop acting, and I don’t know why it was different this time, but the impulse to quit took root in me, and that became a compulsion. It was something I had to do.”
Fortuitously for us all, he has reneged; a launch date for “Anemone” has but to be set.
