Daniel Day-Lewis done with acting

-

Daniel Day-Lewis, one of the most widely respected actors of his generation and a three-time Oscar winner, says he’s retiring from acting.

The 60-year-old announced Tuesday that he has shot his last film and performed in his last play. That makes Paul Thomas Anderson’s already filmed Phantom Thread, due out in December, his final movie.

Day-Lewis’s representa­tive called it “a private decision” and said there would be no further comment.

A five-time Academy Award nominee, Day-Lewis is the only person to win Best Actor three times. He earned Oscars for My Left Foot, Lincoln and There Will Be Blood.
