Daniel Day Lewis Gossip

In a career littered with great performances, it’s not hard to see why Daniel Day-Lewis would choose Phantom Thread’s Reynolds Woodcock to be his final performance (for now). For one thing, he looks like himself. There’s no facial hair or affected gait or prosthetics or other device to obscure him from the audience. Full Story

Daniel Day-Lewis is a classy man who makes classy movies with classy people like Michael Mann, Martin Scorsese, and Paul Thomas Anderson. He’s a three-time Oscar winner, who could legit be a four-time winner by this time next year. Full Story

This post contains spoilers for Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them. Please be warned if you’ve not yet seen the movie. As you know, it’s been confirmed that Johnny Depp will play Gellert Grindelwald in the Fantastic Beasts sequel. He was revealed near the end of the movie. More on that in a minute. Full Story

An extremely rare Daniel Day-Lewis sighting. Do you think Adam and DDL met on Lincoln? I can’t remember the movie well enough to recall if they had any scenes together.   When Daniel met Adam. Weird to think about where these characters are after the final episode has been shot. Full Story

Something to cleanse your palate after I made you look at those photos of Johnny Depp. Check out Daniel Day-Lewis in New York this week. It’s been a quite few years for DDL since he won the Oscar for Lincoln.

The name thing is not a perfect science. But it’s a single decision that lasts the rest of someone’s life so it is kind of amazing that it works out as often as it does. There are hiccups though, and a couple of them have been in the zeitgeist lately, so I wanted to rant at them today, not solving a particular letter writer’s problem, although many of you have written about all of these. Full Story

It was graduation weekend. While Ben Affleck was getting doctored at Brown in Rhode Island, Daniel Day-Lewis and Laura Linney received honourary degrees from Julliard. God I love Laura Linney.

Daniel Day-Lewis was photographed in Brescia, Italy today for Mille Miglia, the iconic vintage cars road race through Italy -- 1000 miles in 3 days ending in Rome. He’s apparently driving a 1953 Jaguar XK 120. Do you sleep on the side of the road? Like, just pull over when you can't stop yawning anymore? Jacek and I drove from Toronto to Vancouver once and it took us 3 days. Full Story
