Daniel Day-Lewis Regrets Going Public with Shocking Retirement Decision

Daniel Day-Lewis Regrets Retirement Announcement Eight years after shocking the entertainment industry with his retirement announcement, Daniel Day-Lewis has revealed he regrets sharing his decision with the world. In an interview with Rolling Stone ahead of the world premiere of his latest film, Anemone, at the New York Film Festival, Day-Lewis admitted that announcing his retirement in 2017 was a mistake. "Looking back on it now, I would have done well to just keep my mouth shut," he said. "It just seems like such grandiose gibberish to talk about. I never intended to retire, really. I just stopped doing that particular type of work so I could do some other work." Day-Lewis' decision to step away from acting was met with widespread speculation and analysis at the time. Many in the industry wondered if he had finally hung up his acting boots for good. However, it appears Day-Lewis was simply taking a break from the spotlight. In 1997, he took an extended hiatus from acting to pursue his passion for shoemaking in Italy. He returned to acting in 2002 with a starring role in Martin Scorsese's Gangs of New York. Day-Lewis' decision to return to acting has been met with excitement from fans and industry insiders alike. His latest film, Anemone, directed by his son Ronan Day-Lewis, is generating buzz for its intense and thought-provoking themes. Industry experts say that Day-Lewis' announcement serves as a reminder of the complexities of the entertainment industry. "It's not uncommon for actors to take breaks or step away from their craft," says film critic Peter Travers. "What's remarkable about Day-Lewis is his willingness to speak candidly about his decision and its impact on his career." With Anemone set to premiere at the New York Film Festival, fans are eagerly anticipating a return to form for one of Hollywood's most respected actors.
