Daniel Day-Lewis Says Method Acting Criticism Is From ‘People Who Have Little or No Understanding of What It Actually Involves

Time for him to just go retire and be quiet.

He's bald now but had great hair in The Last of the Mohicans.

Are there any other methods?

You're getting warmer!

Looking rough.

Brooke Shields has those tinted glasses, too.

He came out of retirement and nobody cared. Anemone is DOA.

Is he cosplaying as Bono?

The man’s talent is undeniable but Lord does he seem insufferable.

He's been playing himself a lot (Gangs of New York, There will Be Blood); he can't distinguish between The Method and any other technique.

In general actors discussing their craft are a pretty tedious lot.

For fun, interrupt one and say “isn’t it just ‘PRETENDING’, like children do?”

You’re likely to enjoy a free performance, maybe a meltdown about how no one has ever understood the work of actors, how much of their soul goes into it, how our country doesn’t support the arts, in Europe actors are paid when they’re unemployed and never have to become waiters, etc, etc.

That film titled For Your Consideration directed by Christopher Guest and that ensemble that appeared in his mocumentaries was very funny and so effective at portraying “actors acting”. Parker Posy’s tearful, defiant, hypocritical Callie Webb was probably the funniest part.

Also, Rachael Harris playing the humorless actress playing a dour humorless lesbian, optimized each second of her screen time. And Eugene Levy as the evasive agent with foot fungus. It’s all so good and mean. Catherine O’Hara as Marilyn Hack was amazing, as always.

Go cobble shoes Danny.
